For schools
Ready for the classroom, with ClassKit
Numbers supports ClassKit, so it works with Apple’s Schoolwork app. Teachers assign activities, students jump straight in, and progress comes back to the teacher, while the app itself collects no data.
Schoolwork and ClassKit
Assign Numbers activities as Schoolwork handouts. Students tap the handout and land in the right place, and their time and progress show up in Schoolwork.
Volume purchase
Buy licences in bulk in Apple School Manager under Apps and Books, assign them to iPads or Managed Apple Accounts with your MDM, and reclaim them at the end of the year.
Safe by design
No accounts, ads, in-app purchases, analytics or third-party SDKs, and no internet needed. Built to meet COPPA, GDPR rules for children and the Google Play Families Policy.
Whole-class teaching
Big, high-contrast cards read from the back of the room. Mirror an iPad to the board, build a number together, then hand out the same activity in Schoolwork.
Mixed device fleets
The same 20 modes on iPad and iPhone, on Android tablets through Google Play, and through the Amazon Appstore.
Grades K to 6
From counting and place value to percentages and unit conversions, with modes that line up with Common Core standards (see below).

Questions
Parents and teachers ask
What is a place value chart?
A place value chart shows each digit of a number in its own column: ones, tens, hundreds, thousands and so on. In Numbers every column is a colour-coded card, so children can change one digit and see the value of the whole number, its expanded form and its name change with it.
Does Numbers work with Schoolwork and ClassKit?
Yes. Numbers supports ClassKit, so on school iPads with Managed Apple Accounts teachers can assign Numbers activities as Schoolwork handouts, students open straight into them, and their progress appears in Schoolwork for the teacher. This needs Student Progress turned on in Apple School Manager.
Can schools buy Numbers in bulk?
Yes. Schools can buy licences in volume in Apple School Manager under Apps and Books, then assign them to iPads or Managed Apple Accounts with their device management (MDM) system and reclaim them later. For Android fleets, or for questions about larger purchases, email anandrajramamoorthy@gmail.com.
Does Numbers collect any student data?
No. Numbers has no accounts, ads, analytics or third-party SDKs and does not need the internet. The developer never receives any student data. When ClassKit is used, progress is shared only with the school through Apple’s Schoolwork app.
What grades is Numbers for?
Numbers is rated 4+ and covers topics from kindergarten and grade 1 through grade 6, including place value, the four operations, primes, fractions, decimals, percentages, money, time, area and measurement conversions.
Which math standards does Numbers cover?
Its modes line up with Common Core State Standards for Mathematics such as 2.NBT.A.1 and 4.NBT.A.2 (place value and expanded form), 3.OA.C.7 (multiplication facts), 4.OA.B.4 (prime and composite numbers), 4.NF.A.1 (equivalent fractions), 5.NBT.A.3 (decimals to thousandths), 2.MD.C.7 (time) and 3.MD.C.7 (area).
Is Numbers available on Android?
Yes. Numbers is $2.99 on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, $2.99 on Google Play for Android, and $3.99 on the Amazon Appstore. It is a one-time purchase with no in-app purchases.
Does Numbers work offline?
