The learning app for grades 1 to 4

Find the gap.Practise exactly that.

A short check finds the gap. Filu explains it with moving pictures. Then your child practises exactly that, in short rounds.

The Kavelu app on an iPhone: for 23 + 14 the child taps 27 and sees “Not quite...”. The hint says “The tens are added too: 20 + 10.” After “Explain it”, Filu’s slide “Tens to tens, ones to ones” shows tens rods and ones cubes: 37. The next task, 42 + 35, is “Correct!”, and the parent area shows “After learning” with an idea for home.

Understand first, then practise.

Every round follows the same calm routine.

  1. Getting-to-know check on kavelu.app: for 2,745 + 1,236 the child picks 3,971. The result shows that task, 3,971 circled next to the right 3,981: the same mistake 2 times, forgets to carry or regroup across ten, with Filu's explanation. Below: what happens next, Save the result.
    Step 1

    The check finds the gap.

    A few tasks are enough. Kavelu sees which topic is still shaky.

  2. Explanation slide “Addition with Carry” in the Kavelu app: “Fill 10 first, then add the rest.” Two apples fill the ten-frame, three are left over, 8 + 5 = 13. Next to it, Filu holds a tens rod and three ones cubes.
    Step 2

    Filu explains with moving pictures.

    One idea per picture. After a mistake, Filu explains it again using that very task.

  3. Step 3

    Your child practises exactly that.

    In short rounds. The next task depends on the answers so far.

You know what helps next.

After every round you see what was practised and what was still hard. The weekly report gives you the next step.

Weekly report in the Kavelu app, example: next step “Work through Addition to 100 Without Carrying”, 10 minutes, with how it works and a tip for home; this week 38 tasks, 84% correct, 46 minutes.
The weekly report comes with Starter and Family. The overview after every round is free.

Why not just a practice app?

Practice apps are good for practising a lot. Kavelu starts one step earlier: first it becomes clear what is missing. Then exactly that gets practised.

Frequently asked questions

Still have a question? Write to us at support@kavelu.de.

From what age is Kavelu suitable?

Kavelu deliberately focuses on primary school: grades 1 to 4, playful and age-appropriate. More grades will only return once the quality there is at the same level.

Why Kavelu when there are free learning apps?

Free apps are good for practising lots of tasks. Kavelu starts with a short check, then practises the topics that are still shaky. The parent area shows you what helps next. You can use math for free and compare for yourself.

How does Kavelu handle children's data?

Parents create the account. Children only use nickname profiles and have no account of their own. There are no ads and no advertising trackers. For usage statistics we use PostHog with servers in the EU, without cookies and without names, and count a few steps on our own servers, only with random IDs. Data export and deletion are available any time in the parent area. Full details are in the privacy policy.

Which German states are supported?

The content in math, German, English and science follows the KMK educational standards, which apply in all German states. The order of topics in class can differ between schools. That is why Kavelu starts with a check instead of a fixed plan.

Is there an app?

The app for iPhone and iPad is coming to the App Store soon. Until then, Kavelu runs in any browser, on tablet, phone or laptop. Your account and progress are the same everywhere.

How much does Kavelu cost?

Getting started is free: math for grades 1–4 with one child profile costs nothing. Starter unlocks all subjects for up to 2 children for €6.99 a month; Family covers up to 4 children for €9.99 a month. These are founder prices, only for the first 100 paying families. For everyone after that, Starter costs €9.99 and Family €14.99 a month. On the website you can try every paid plan for 14 days.
