Three curricula, one practice platform

Your child's school follows
a curriculum — ZestMath works with all of them.

Dubai's international school landscape is one of the most diverse in the world. British, American, and IB schools coexist in the same neighbourhoods — and families often move between curricula as they relocate. ZestMath's topic-based approach means curriculum doesn't matter: select what your child is currently studying and practise it.

🇬🇧

British curriculum schools

British curriculum schools in Dubai follow the English National Curriculum, typically with Year group terminology and KS1/KS2 structure. ZestMath's content is appropriate for Years 1–6 with difficulty levels calibrated to National Curriculum expectations at each year group. Uses British English throughout.

🇺🇸

American curriculum schools

American curriculum schools use Grade level terminology and typically follow Common Core or a comparable framework. ZestMath covers Grades K–5 arithmetic, fractions, decimals, and word problems at difficulty levels appropriate for Common Core expectations. Grade and Year numbers align (Grade 3 ≈ Year 3 ≈ age 8–9).

🌍

IB PYP schools

IB Primary Years Programme schools organise maths around inquiry and conceptual understanding. ZestMath provides procedural fluency practice — a complement to, not a replacement for, the IB conceptual approach. Number fluency supports the mathematical reasoning that IB inquiry tasks require.

FAQ

Questions from Dubai & UAE parents

Yes. ZestMath is well-suited to British curriculum schools in Dubai, which follow the English National Curriculum's primary maths expectations. Topics, year-group expectations, and difficulty progressions align with KS1 and KS2. British English is used throughout — 'maths', 'Year 1', 'Year 2' rather than American grade terminology.
Yes. American curriculum international schools in Dubai typically follow Common Core or a state curriculum equivalent. ZestMath's maths content — arithmetic, fractions, decimals, word problems — is appropriate for Grades K through 5 and covers the same computational skills assessed in American curriculum schools. Word problems are available in both British and American English contexts.
The IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) organises maths into five strands: Number, Pattern and Function, Data Handling, Measurement, and Shape and Space. ZestMath's practice covers the Number and Measurement strands comprehensively. Pattern and algebraic thinking is covered through pre-algebra topics. ZestMath works well as a fluency-building supplement for IB PYP students, though it doesn't address the inquiry-based conceptual approach that IB classroom instruction uses.
Word problems use universally familiar everyday contexts — buying items, measuring distances, sharing quantities, comparing prices — that translate across cultures. Currency contexts use generic amounts rather than a specific currency to avoid confusion across the mixed-nationality student population in Dubai. Teachers and parents can supplement with UAE-specific context in classroom discussions.
Match to what their school calls it: if their school uses Year 1, Year 2 (British system) — select the corresponding difficulty for that year. If the school uses Grade 1, Grade 2 (American system) — the year and grade numbers align (Year 1 ≈ Grade 1). If the school uses IB PYP age bands — a 6-year-old is typically working at Year 1 / Grade 1 level regardless of IB terminology. When in doubt, start at the easy difficulty and let the adaptive system calibrate.
Yes. ZestMath is a standard web application accessible from any browser without a VPN. It is not blocked in the UAE. The platform requires only a standard internet connection — no special software, no VPN, and no app download.
ZestMath's current interface and problem text are in English only. For Arabic-speaking students who are learning maths in English (as is common in Dubai international schools), this is typically not an issue — the mathematical symbols and numbers are universal, and the English problem text is at a simple reading level. An Arabic interface is on the product roadmap.
