What happens at the kitchen table

When your child gets stuck…

Five steps, and the last one is the only one that counts: your child solving it without help.

  1. Take a photo

    Point the phone at the question in the copybook.

  2. Alder explains

    It reads the question and says what it is really asking.

  3. Alder guides

    A hint about the method. Never the answer straight out.

  4. Your child tries

    They do the working themselves, one step at a time.

  5. Your child learns

    Then a fresh question on the same idea — with no help at all.

For you

And you don't have to become the maths teacher.

You don't need to remember how to divide fractions. You need to know where your child is. Alder keeps a plain record of exactly that.

  • What your child understands
  • Where they're struggling
  • What they've improved
  • What to practise next

What to do tonight: ten minutes on equivalent fractions. Ask her to show you two fractions that mean one half — if she can, the penny has dropped.

The rule Alder works by

Designed for learning — not just answers.

There are apps that photograph a question and hand back the answer. Your child copies it down, the homework is finished, and nothing has been learned. Alder is built the other way round.

We don't do your child's homework. We help your child learn how to do it.

Made here

Built for Irish families.

Written against the Irish curriculum, by a parent in Ireland, for the homework that actually comes home.
