Today's 10: a daily set built from what your child needs

Written by A Dagdelen · Reviewed

Today's 10 is a set of ten questions that changes every day. It is not random: it starts with questions your child got wrong earlier and the topics where quiz scores have been lowest, so the few minutes it takes go where they help most.

  • 10questions in each day's set
  • New every dayone set a day, the same all day
  • Up to 5of them are earlier mistakes that are due again
  • A streakcounts the days in a row with a finished quiz

How it works

  1. It starts with earlier mistakes. A question your child gets wrong is kept and comes back after a while. Today's 10 puts up to five of those that are due at the start of the set, labelled To fix.
  2. Then it looks at the weak spots. It then picks questions from up to three units where your child's finished quizzes have averaged below 70%, labelled Needs work. A child who has not taken many quizzes yet gets a set that leans on the rest.
  3. It fills the rest from the year. Anything left over is made up of other questions from your child's year, labelled From the unit, so every set has ten.
  4. One set a day. The set stays the same all day. Once it is finished the card shows how many were right, and the next one arrives tomorrow.
  5. The streak counts any finished quiz. The days in a row on the card count days with at least one finished quiz, not only Today's 10, so a lesson quiz keeps it going too.

How to use it at home

Make it the same time each day

After tea, in the car, before screens. The time matters less than doing it at the same moment.

Look at the labels together

To fix, Needs work and From the unit tell you what each question is for. If a topic keeps coming back, that is worth a talk or a lesson.

Keep it short

Ten questions is the whole job. Stopping when it is done helps a child come back tomorrow.

Celebrate the streak, not the score

A day of ten questions matters more than a perfect result. Mistakes are what the next set is built from.

Questions parents ask

Is Today's 10 free?

It is part of the Family plan, along with Build your quiz, Beat the clock, times tables and the Spelling challenge. New families get the Family plan free for 14 days, with no card needed.

Why does it show questions my child got wrong?

That is the point. Seeing a mistake again a few days later is one of the best ways to fix it for good.

What if my child has not done any quizzes?

Today's 10 still gives ten questions from their year. It gets more personal as they take lesson quizzes.

Does it replace the lessons?

No. The lessons teach and Today's 10 keeps things fresh between lessons.
