What is Fables World?

How Fables World works, in just 5 minutes a day

Fables World teaches the idea before testing recall. If a pupil gets stuck, the story provides a route back to the answer.

  • Pupils embark on a focused Quest to master one key maths concept
  • Concepts are taught through funny, memorable cartoon stories
  • Pupils answer questions to practise the skill
  • If they get stuck, the story replays to reinforce the fact
  • Rewards, coins, badges and leaderboards keep motivation high
  • Teachers receive a weekly progress report
  • Pupils grow in confidence, reduce anxiety and the learning sticks
Memory magic

The Science behind Fables World

Research shows that using mnemonics, linking complex ideas to stories, visuals or patterns, significantly boosts learning outcomes.

Fables World takes this scientifically proven approach and applies it to foundational maths skills. Rich characters, silly stories and powerful visual memory cues help children recall concepts long after they have learned them.

The result? Facts that stick. Progress that lasts.

Independent school evidence

The Proof

A study by Ella Skegg at the University of Chichester found that children who accessed Fables World as a daily intervention made almost 32% more progress than the control group. And the more they used the programme, the more they improved.

Fables World provides children with a memory peg for the quick recall of number facts.

The study suggests that Fables World has made a positive impact both in children’s progress and engagement.
