99math
99math (Estonia) · ages about 5-14 (grades K-8)
A low-effort, free way for teachers to make fact practice lively; parents of kids who dislike timed competition may want a calmer tool.
Desk researchFreeNo ads
Adobe Express for Education
Adobe · ages grades K-12 through a school

AI Literacy Lessons for Grades K-12
Common Sense Education · ages grades K-12 (AI-specific lessons start in grade 6)
A good free starting point for teachers and parents who want to talk about AI with middle and high schoolers; anyone wanting hands-on AI building should pair it with a project-based course.
Desk researchThrough schoolsNo ads
Amira Learning
Amira Learning · ages about 5-14 (school product; listed studies run from kindergarten to middle school)
Worth asking about if your child's school uses it; parents cannot buy it, so home users should look at family apps instead.

Book Creator
Book Creator (part of Kami) · ages about 4-18
A strong fit for teachers who want kids to author multimedia books themselves; not a tool for AI-generated stories.

BrainPOP (and BrainPOP Jr.)
BrainPOP · ages about 5-14 (K-8+)
Excellent when a school provides it; families paying alone should try the free sneak peek first.
