Maths automatismes: build math automatisms in minutes a day

Maths automatismes is an Android app for math automatisms, the quick reflexes of middle school mathematics from grade 6 (6ème) to grade 9 (3ème). One question at a time, a timer and an immediate correction.

Many points in tests are lost on simple operations: a forgotten priority, a vanished minus sign, a failed conversion. Short repetition builds the reflexes that prevent those slips, in maths and in science.

First steps with the app

1. Install Maths automatismes from Google Play.
2. Start the daily session of ten varied questions.
3. Answer against the timer and read the correction straight away.
4. Open a topic, such as fractions or equations, and train until it feels easy.
5. Try a mock test of 20 timed questions when you feel ready.

What you will find inside

• Three modes: a daily session, topic training and a 20-question timed mock test.
• 21 middle school topics, including mental math, order of operations, fractions, percentages, unit conversions, powers, equations, areas, volumes, the Pythagorean theorem, trigonometry, statistics, probability and graphs.
• Questions built with random values, so answers cannot be memorised, with clean formulas and figures for geometry.
• Spaced review: missed questions return later and at growing intervals.
• A flame for daily streaks, badges, four grades and a mastery gauge for each topic.
• A daily reminder, offline use, English and French, and no advertising.

Who benefits from math automatisms

The app is aimed at students from grade 6 to grade 9, particularly those preparing the brevet exam at the end of grade 9. Students in grade 10 (2de) who want to restart from the basics can also use it, and so can parents looking for a short, useful activity.

Ten questions a day is not much, but over a school year it adds up to thousands of installed reflexes.

Why this matters for physics and chemistry

Our physics and chemistry courses rely on the same reflexes: unit conversions, percentages, proportionality, powers and the Pythagorean theorem. A student who hesitates on those steps spends effort that should go to the science.

Try a topic session on conversions, then move to the AP Physics 1 worksheets. The problem will feel lighter because the arithmetic no longer competes for your attention.

The logic of spaced review

The app does not just repeat questions at random. A missed question returns a little later, then at longer intervals. This is how a method moves from short-term to long-term memory, and it is the same principle used to learn vocabulary.

Each of the 21 topics has a mastery gauge. A glance tells you which topics are solid and which need consolidation, so you can decide where the next ten minutes should go.

Four grades, from Apprentice to Master, and a daily flame keep motivation up. A daily reminder helps you remember the session before the evening gets busy.

Tips to build real reflexes

• Keep sessions short and frequent rather than long and rare.
• Use the mastery gauge to choose the next topic.
• Take a mock test under real timing a week before an exam.
• When a question returns, say the method aloud before answering.

Frequently asked questions

What are math automatisms?

Math automatisms are quick, reliable reflexes for basic operations such as fractions, percentages, conversions and order of operations. They are built by repeating short questions, so students keep their energy for harder problems.

Which grades does the app cover?

Maths automatismes covers middle school, from grade 6 (6ème) to grade 9 (3ème), with 21 topics. Students in grade 10 can use it to revise basics, and grade 9 students can prepare the brevet.

How does the review work?

Questions you miss come back later, then at longer and longer intervals. This spaced repetition helps a method move into long-term memory. A mastery gauge shows how solid each of the 21 topics is.

Does the app work without a connection?

Yes. The store description says the app works offline and has no advertising. It is designed for phone and tablet, and it is available in English and in French.
