Hit The Button is made by a small team who care about one thing: helping children build genuine confidence with numbers. Our content is written to be practical and honest, no jargon, no hype, and no advice we wouldn't give a friend.

Luke, Founder & Editor

Luke builds the game and edits the guides, focused on making maths practice feel like play for children aged 5–11.

Areas of expertise

Our editorial focus is squarely on primary-school mental-maths fluency and the pedagogy behind it:

  • Times tables and multiplication fluency (including the Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check)
  • Number bonds, mental addition and subtraction strategies
  • Making practice engaging, gamification, motivation and beating maths anxiety
  • Supporting parents at home and teachers in the classroom (KS1 & KS2)

How we work

Every guide starts from established primary-maths pedagogy, the way times tables, number bonds and mental strategies are actually taught in schools, and is written in plain language for busy parents and teachers. We revisit and update guides over time, and each flagship guide shows its last-reviewed date.
