Kids create some incredible things when working together, and letting your kid collaborate on Polymath with their friends is a fantastic way to increase engagement, motivation and encourage peer learning.

When you enable friends on in Polymath, your kid will be able to add friends, visit each other's Polymath islands, build, and practice maths together.

You can manage your child’s access to Polymath Friends under ‘Friends’ in your Polymath account.

Your child’s teacher is also able to grant your child permission to play with Polymath with friends from their classroom.

What does it mean to play with friends on Polymath?

Enabling friends in Polymath allows kids to work together in Polymath. They can:

• Share/gift resources
• Problem solve together
• Share the results of their hard work with one-another

Polymath Friends has been designed to allow real friends to play Polymath together while in the same physical space. Polymath does not support any form of in-app chat.

When adding friends your child will be able to control:

• Who they add as a friend (both kids must accept the friendship)
• What their friends can do on their island (just look vs. build with them)
