How Noggli works
A practice game that starts where your child really is, keeps every question just about doable, and tells you plainly what it found.
The first few sittings: finding the real level
It starts a year below
You pick the year your child is in at school. Noggli begins each core topic a year below that, so the first questions feel comfortable.
Each topic moves on its own
A right answer settles that topic and moves on. A miss steps the topic down and tries again. A child can be Year 5 in addition and Year 3 in fractions at the same time.
You get the reasons
When the core topics are done, your family page shows where each subject started and why, topic by topic. You never have to set or adjust a level.
Your child never sees the word "test". To them, the first sittings are just the game.
Every question after that adapts
Just about doable
Questions are picked so your child gets most of them right first time, with an occasional gentle stretch.
Easier after a wobble
After a miss, the next question on that idea is always a step easier.
Topics unlock in order
Percentages wait until fractions are secure. Nothing arrives before its building blocks.
Shaky things come back
A topic that wobbled returns after a day, then three, then a week, then longer, until it sticks.
When an answer is wrong
First, a clue
No red cross and no buzzer. Just a hint aimed at that question, and another go.
Then the working
If the second try misses too, the steps are shown one by one, and a short explanation in friendly words.
Then something easier
The level drops a little so the next question is one your child can get. Confidence first.
Your child can ask Squishy about the question on screen. Squishy asks one small question back at a time and never gives the answer away.
Only about the question
The helper is tied to the question in front of your child. Anything off-topic or personal is steered away.
You can read every word
Every message either way is on your child's page, with steered-away ones marked.
Code marks, AI explains
Maths and most English questions are written and marked by code. AI writes the clues, explanations, reading passages and your weekly note.
Why children keep coming back
Fluff and squishies
Every answer adds fluff to a mould. Twelve bits of fluff pops out a new squishy to name and keep on the shelf. Some are sparkly, rainbow or golden.
Short by design
After about 18 minutes the game winds down and asks how it felt, with three faces to tap. You see those taps on your page.
A gentle look at test papers
Once several topics are secure, an optional "mini mix" shows eight questions laid out like a paper. No clock, no marks, and only topics they already know.
What you see on your page
Each child gets their own report. It fills in after the first few sittings and keeps itself up to date, so there is nothing to set up or adjust.
Where Maya started, and why
Maya is working at about Year 5 in maths, with real strengths in number. Fractions are where practice will help most: one quarter of an amount is easy, but three quarters means remembering the second step.
Maths, skill by skill
This week's note
A lovely week. Maya stuck with fractions and got three right in a row on Thursday. Times tables are flying. One kind thing to say: you kept going after a tricky one.
Common mix-ups
Finds one part of a fraction but forgets to multiply by the top number (3 times)

Once the gentle placement is done, a short note explains the starting level for each subject and the topics behind it.
Every topic, levelled
Each topic shows its level, how it is going lately and the national curriculum objective it is working on next.

An optional weekly note in plain English, the slips that keep coming up, and how each sitting felt.
