SpeedMath is math practice that adapts to you — 1,500 levels running from Grade 1 all the way through Expert, with no two people starting in the same place. A short adaptive placement quiz figures out exactly where you belong the moment you open the app: get a question right and it gets harder, miss one and it gets easier, so you're never stuck redoing what you already know or lost on what you don't. Two ways to answer: - Type mode: a custom keypad built for speed, with a scientific "Pro" calculator for exponents at the advanced levels - Speed mode: just say your answer out loud and keep moving Stuck on a problem? Hit "I don't know" and get a plain-language explanation that actually clicks, pitched to your exact level, not some generic textbook page. Every correct answer builds your streak. Every session pushes your daily goal forward. And the level ladder never runs out — grade-school arithmetic, pre-algebra, trigonometry, calculus, and all the way into university-level and expert problems. Free to start, with a generous placement-based trial. Upgrade any time to keep climbing every one of the 1,500 levels.
