Beyond Their Years
Math and languages
I trick kids into doing thousands of math problems for fun.
I started at zero. Now math is my superpower. Your turn?
We trick them into thousands of problems. They call it play.
Your daughter can rule at math. I'll show her how. Ready?
Kids can do far more than we expect when practice feels like play. So I built the practice into a game.

Practice is the part kids skip.
A new idea fades fast. The game teaches it from zero, then gives lots of reps until it sticks.
Optional speed timers
- Excellent, competition pace96s or less
- That's fast!116s
- Nice work.136s
Timers never change the game. No losing, no penalty. They just show kids the pace to aim for, all the way up to AMC level. The goal: a kid who solves AMC 8 problems fast.
AMC 8: 25 questions in 40 minutes, or 96 seconds each.
What if the practice was the game?
No padlocks. Stars come from getting it right, never from going fast. Mistakes are safe, so kids keep going.
Right answers earn coins. Real 3D-printed prizes, coming soon.
Beyond Their YearsFrom Ahmes's ancient scroll to beyond their years.
Meet Ahmes
Ahmes was a scribe in ancient Egypt, more than 3,500 years ago. He copied one of the oldest math books we have, the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus. It's full of real problems about bread and pyramids, and your kid starts right there.
My scroll, your kid's adventure. Bring a pencil!
Beyond Their Years.
A game that teaches math and languages from zero, then practices them until they stick. It works alongside whatever school or homeschool you already do.
Polyglot Island covers Chinese, Japanese, Korean, English and Spanish, starting with each language's own sounds, then words, then sentences. Kids read, not just speak.
Here's what the reps look like at our house.
I'm Ed, a homeschool dad. The game does the teaching and the practice.
What strangers say at the park.
Things people have said watching my own kids at the park. They aren't customers or reviews, just what we heard.
Math
Wait, he just did that in his head? No paper, no fingers, nothing?
Hold on, how old is he? Five? I can't do that in my head and I'm an adult.
He answered before I even finished asking the question.
That's a high school problem, and he's still in kindergarten?
That's the kind of speed you see at math competitions.
Every time I give him a harder one, he gets it even faster.
He solved it, checked it, and explained it. Who taught him that?
I tried to stump him three times and lost all three.
Languages
Wow, she sounds like she grew up in Mexico City.
That accent is pure Tokyo. I'd have guessed she was born there.
If I closed my eyes, I'd think she was ordering street food in Taipei.
She sounds like a little Seoul local chatting with her friends after school.
Her Mandarin tones are so clean, she sounds like she's from Beijing.
Wait, she just went from Spanish to Korean without missing a beat? That's incredible.
Did she just answer in Chinese and then joke in Spanish? That's amazing.
If she walked into Seoul, Tokyo, Beijing, or Madrid, every one of them would think she's from there.

Questions
Is this a curriculum?
Yes, a supplemental one. Beyond Their Years teaches every concept from zero on its own, so it works alongside whatever else your kid uses.
Are there timers?
Some, and they're optional. Pace timers show kids a speed to aim for, and the two full-length mock exams are timed. Stars still come from getting it right.
How do stars work?
Stars come from accuracy only. Speed never earns one.
What are coins?
Kids earn coins for right answers: 10 for a right first try, 5 for a right retry, none for a wrong answer. They spend them in the game's shop on characters and secrets. Coins are never real money, and you can't buy them.
What are the real prizes?
Real 3D-printed prizes, coming soon. Kids will cash in the coins they earn for small prizes like fidget spinners and trinkets. A parent approves every cash-in. Coins are earned, never bought, and kids are never paid money.
Which languages?
Chinese, Japanese, Korean, English and Spanish.
Is there an AI tutor?
Not yet. Every lesson teaches each step itself, and a missed question comes back with an explanation.
What if I have more than one kid?
Each kid needs a plan. A brother or sister can be on the $50 Math Sibling plan. Questions? Email beyondtheiryears2.71828@gmail.com and Ed answers.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial. PayPal asks for a card or PayPal account to start it. Cancel in PayPal before the 7 days end and you pay nothing.
Who made this?
Ed, a homeschool dad who built it for his own kids.
