About MaffsGames

Our mission: to be the go-to free maths games resource for UK teachers.

MaffsGames is built by Jon, a qualified maths teacher who spent years in secondary education teaching GCSE and Core Maths before moving into further and higher education.

That move was an eye-opener. Secondary teaching has Corbett Maths, Hegarty, DrFrost, and a whole ecosystem of quality resources built by educators who understand the classroom. Further education and Level 4 apprenticeships? There was almost nothing. Not behind a paywall, not buried in adverts — genuinely nothing. Jon couldn't find a single free, curriculum-aligned resource for his students.

So he turned to AI to start building his own. What began as practical teaching tools for engineering apprentices — things like interactive demonstrations of gyroscopic precession — quickly grew into something bigger. The maths games came next: quick-fire practice that students could use on their phones as lesson starters or independent revision. After conversations with A-Level colleagues, the scope expanded. If the games were good enough for apprentices, they were good enough for GCSE and A-Level students too.

Every game is curriculum-aligned, maps to AQA, Edexcel, or BTEC specifications, and contains enough questions to support a lesson — not just a five-minute warm-up. Every game is free, works on school networks, and collects zero student data.

What MaffsGames will always be

Where did MaffsGames come from? The schools portal grew out of an earlier project — a collection of maths-based puzzle games originally built for an online community. The concept worked, and MaffsGames was created to bring the same approach to UK classrooms: rigorous maths, zero friction, and games that respect both the curriculum and the students playing them.
