About BrainBox ED

BrainBox ED is a maths practice platform for South African primary school learners in Grades 4 to 7. Its quizzes follow the CAPS curriculum and use game-like progression: learners earn EduCoins, build streaks and climb leaderboards while mastering topics with clear explanations. Topics are presented as levels matched to each grade.

Parents create accounts, track topics mastered and streak growth, and can try a free sample quiz. The product is in a live beta for Grades 4 to 7, with questions being added and refined from user feedback. BrainBox ED is based in Durban and lists 2026 as its founding year on LinkedIn.
