About

MathCracks

Features
Read full description

MathCracks is the app for learning and doing better at school, for ages 5 to 18. Prepare for exams in any subject, practise a little every day at your own pace and mark worksheets and exams from a photo. No ads and no chat. PREPARE FOR YOUR EXAMS, IN EVERY SUBJECT • Enter the subject, the date and the topics: the app spreads your study, tests you every day and shows what you have mastered and what is still weak. • Before the exam, a mock test: in the app with an instant score, or on paper, marked from a photo. • If your teacher gives you a worksheet or a marked exam, take a photo and work on every mistake. • With the official syllabus of Spain, Mexico, Venezuela, Honduras, Bolivia and Paraguay. In any other country, by age and with the topics you enter. DAILY PRACTICE WITH CUBI • A short daily session that adapts to what you already master: you only move on once you answer with ease, and every session reviews what came before. • A guided lesson for every new step: first you touch it, then you see it with models, then you write it. • Three worlds by age: a cardboard toy up to 9, an expedition notebook from 10 to 13 and a clean study space from 14. • The math path goes from counting to 10 to the doors of calculus. HANDWRITING Answer with a finger or Apple Pencil. The app reads numbers, fractions and expressions and checks them instantly. “Scratch paper” to work things out before answering. SUPPORT FOR EVERY WAY OF LEARNING In “How they learn”, the adult area, you tick what your child finds hard and the app adjusts every session: • Reading: read-aloud, large print and shorter questions. • Sight: very large print, high contrast and a description of each drawing. • Numbers: more helper drawings, smaller numbers and no timer. • Focus: short sessions in two blocks, with a movement break. • Handwriting: keyboard or voice dictation. Works with VoiceOver. MathCracks does not diagnose: supports are adjustments, never labels, and do not replace a professional assessment. WANTING TO COME BACK TOMORROW Streaks, daily missions, coins to dress Cubi and an arcade unlocked with minutes earned by answering correctly. Coins cannot be bought: they are only earned by practising. FOR FAMILIES: MATHCRACKS AT HOME An adult creates the family account in the app in two minutes; we only ask for month and year of birth. One-week free trial, then a monthly or yearly subscription managed and cancelled from the store. FOR SCHOOLS If your school uses MathCracks, sign in with the credentials it gave you: you will see your course and your class assignments. Teachers follow progress in their portal. Supports the school records, with the family’s consent, also apply in the app. Privacy policy: https://mathcracks.com/privacy Terms of use: https://mathcracks.com/terms
