Overview
AdaptedMind is an adaptive K-6 math platform (stretched by some families to 8th). A short pretest sets the starting point, then the program serves practice from more than 300,000 problems, adjusting difficulty as the child works and backing each skill with a video lesson. Points and badges keep younger kids moving, and weekly progress reports go to the parent. Math and reading are separate $9.95-a-month subscriptions, one account covers up to five children, and there is a 30-day free trial. It is practice and drill rather than a full conceptual spine, so it works best as the daily fluency layer under a richer program.

The honest read
AdaptedMind is the fluency layer, not the whole math curriculum. A pretest places the child, then it serves practice from a bank of more than 300,000 problems with a short video behind each skill, and it emails you a progress report. It rates 4.5 out of 5 across roughly 1,100 Trustpilot reviews, so the content lands; parents report that kids who resist worksheets will do the gamified version, and grades follow. Two honest cautions. It is drill and practice, so it locks in facts and procedures but will not build deep conceptual understanding on its own; pair it with a program that does. And the most common complaint is not the math but the billing: auto-renewal that is easy to start and hard to cancel, plus heavy in-app upsells; set it up and note the cancellation steps before you hand it to a kid. Strongest in the K-6 core, thinner as you climb past sixth grade. At $9.95 a month per subject with a 30-day trial, it earns its place as the fifteen-minutes-a-day practice habit.
