Help your child understand math—and feel confident using it with Elephant Learning. We guarantee that your student will learn at least 1 year of mathematics over the course of 3 months using our system just 30 minutes per week. When math feels frustrating, more practice is not always the answer. Elephant Learning helps your child build the understanding behind the answers, through personalized games and puzzles from counting to algebra. Over 200,000 students have used our system and we are approaching 250,000 years of mathematics taught. The best part is, students come out of our system loving mathematics. PROGRESS THAT STARTS WITH UNDERSTANDING Your child starts at the right level because a placement assessment identifies the concepts they understand. Adaptive activities respond to their learning, helping them strengthen foundations and move forward when they are ready. PRACTICE THAT FEELS LIKE PLAY Give your child room to think, try, and try again. Games turn mathematical ideas into interactive challenges, so practice becomes an opportunity to explore instead of another worksheet to finish. KNOW HOW TO HELP Follow your child's progress with Elephant Age, a measure of their mathematical understanding. Reports and teaching videos help you see what they are learning and why, so you can support them with greater confidence. A ROUTINE THAT FITS FAMILY LIFE Start with 10 minutes a day, three days a week. Short sessions make consistent practice manageable. Worksheets and suggested activities help you bring the ideas into life beyond the screen. Whether your child needs stronger foundations or is ready for a new challenge, Elephant Learning meets them where they are.
