Parent guide

Practice you can understand.

Sticky Bears keeps setup small, shows what was practiced, and leaves learning data under your control.

What children practice

Facts from 1 through 12. The game brings back missed facts, slower facts, and fluent facts that are due for review.

What fluent means

Two lucky answers are not enough. Fluency needs repeated first try accuracy, reasonable recall speed, and later review.

What rewards do

Correct answers build houses and decorations. The neighborhood makes effort visible without selling upgrades or showing ads.

Reading the report card

Practicing means the fact has some evidence but needs more accurate, timely recall. Fluent means the child has answered it correctly on the first try across enough attempts and at a useful recall speed. Due for review means a fluent fact is ready to be checked again.

The report also shows completed facts by date. Accuracy is based on first try answers, so a corrected mistake still counts as completed without pretending it was correct on the first try.

Good ways to use it

  • Choose two or three tables when a child is learning new facts.
  • Use a 20 correct round for a short, clear finish line.
  • Ask the child to explain the strategy shown after a mistake.
  • Check the report weekly rather than after every answer.
  • Mix new tables with one familiar table to keep confidence steady.
