01
Pick what you’re teaching
Fractions, forces, fossils, reading and more—choose a real topic, not a generic reward game.
For teachers
Your lesson. Their thinking. Ako in the middle.
Choose a topic and let students learn it by doing. Ako notices each attempt, asks the next useful question, and keeps the answer in the student’s hands.
Ako asks“What changed when you moved the angle?”
Easy to try, useful to teach
One topic. Three useful moves.
02
Students test an idea
They move, build, sort and experiment. The concept itself is the interaction.
03
Ako coaches the next thought
The tutor responds to what just happened and nudges another attempt without giving away the answer.
Coaching, not answer-giving
The useful moment is the second thought.
Ako can see the fraction a student just made. When the prediction misses, it asks them to compare, change one thing, and try again.
“I think the bigger number makes the bigger piece.”
Ako“Compare one eighth with one fourth. What do you notice?”

Run a lesson as a whole-class investigation, a small-group station, independent practice, or a topic recap.
Every activity keeps the curriculum concept at the centre while Ako gives each student room to predict, test, and try again.
The practical bits
Teacher questions, answered plainly.
Are Ako lessons aligned to curriculum?
Yes. Ako lessons align to real curriculum outcomes across math, science, English, geography, history, technology and the arts. Each lesson is organized by age and topic, then teaches the concept through guided, hands-on practice.
Do students need accounts?
No account is needed to start the first free lesson in the browser. For use beyond that first lesson, check the current access options with Ako before planning a longer unit.
Can students use Ako to get the answer?
Ako is designed to coach rather than answer. It asks for predictions, responds to what the student tries, and guides another attempt through the lesson.
