Learning materials for grades 1–5
Teachio isn't yet another screen-time timer — it's a home teacher inside your child's phone. Before the feed they're scrolling or the game they're playing (TikTok, YouTube, Roblox, Brawl Stars …) carries on, they get a question about what they're learning in school right now. And when the answer is wrong, there's no empty wait — the app explains to the child what they got wrong.
Scroll
The phone is free again — the feed, game or other app continues until the next question.
In the real app the child reads the explanation and waits the full 25 seconds.
TikTok, YouTube, games — you decide. The limit is built on Apple's Family Controls framework, not a trick the child can slip around.
Questions come straight from that grade's curriculum — in every subject, down to the individual lesson. Not a random quiz.
Type what your child needs to study for the test or quiz into search — say “Addition and subtraction to 100” — and every scrolling pause becomes a revision moment on exactly that topic.
An ordinary learning app just says "wrong" and makes the child wait. It never says why the answer was wrong — so on the third try the child simply picks another option. Teachio explains, at the start of the wait, what the child got wrong. Every wrong option has its own error theory: not "wrong", but the line of reasoning that led to exactly that answer.
Leo has 4 apples. His mum gives him 3 more apples. How many apples does Leo have now?
Instead of adding, you subtracted one number from the other.
The explanation names the thinking that went wrong, but doesn't give the answer — the question stays the same and the child has to count again themselves. A content validator enforces this: a line the answer could be read off never makes it into the bank. After a right answer, too, the child sees why it was right.
Three controls in the parent view. Try them right here — they look the same in the app.
Questions come only from the subjects you switch on. When a maths test is right around the corner, turn the rest off for a while and type in the test topic.
No need to know chapter names by heart: search by the textbook chapter or topic title and the app finds it. Pick either the whole chapter or only the lessons that are on the test. Example: Grade 4 Science. Each lesson carries its own questions in the bank — the norm is 8 questions per lesson (four in Grade 1, three in music and art).
The question doesn't come when the app opens, but after accumulated usage time. You say how long the free stretch is before the interruption, and how many correct answers in a row it takes to continue (1–5).
Even if the child looks the answer up online or asks an AI, it sticks. And when the same topic reaches a test in class, they recognise it and answer on their own — without Google.
None of these is an illustration — the same layout, the same words and the same numbers as in Teachio's code. Swipe left and right.
Leo has 4 apples. His mum gives him 3 more apples. How many apples does Leo have now?
Wrong answer
You added 2 to your 4 apples and got 6. But mum gave 3 apples, not 2.
Read it and try again:
25 s
A wrong answer — and the reasonThe question doesn't change. At the start of the wait, exactly the mistake the child made is explained. The wait grows on the same question: 25 → 50 → 60 → 60 s; closing the app neither resets it nor skips past the explanation.
Grade 1 · age 6–7
Test coming up? Pick the chapter or the individual lessons the child needs to revise — questions come only from those. Up to 20 picks at a time.
The parent picks a subjectEach subject shows how many questions actually exist for that grade. The number on the right shows how many lessons are already chosen into the focus.
Lessons
… and then a single lessonThese are real lessons from the curriculum, with real question counts. Two chosen lessons mean the child gets only those two lessons' questions.
Question interval
The child uses the chosen apps freely; the question interrupts usage at this interval.
Correct answers needed to unlock
Wrong-answer waits
How often and how strictThe interval is 5, 10 or 15 minutes of usage. Unlocking can require up to five correct answers in a row.
Questions follow the international Cambridge curriculum and match your child's grade exactly.
