## What is Scratch Math!?

Scratch Math is a hands-on math practice app built to match how students actually solve problems.

Work through real problems with a built-in scratch pad, just like paper, but faster and cleaner. No switching between apps. No clutter. Everything happens in one focused place.

Designed for repetition, clarity, visual learning, and confidence.
