Read full description

MathStride is math practice that finally feels like math class โ€” you write your answers by hand, right on the screen, with a finger or Apple Pencil. Every solved problem is a stride. Tell MathStride the grade and what to work on, and it builds practice sets that fit โ€” from counting to calculus. Each answer is checked as soon as you submit it, and progress builds toward the skills you chose. No printing, no busywork, no ads. HOW IT WORKS โ€ข Pick skills โ€” describe the learner and get a grade-fitted list of skills to work toward. Optionally focus on your state's program (Common Core, California, New York, Texas) and add advanced AP-style topics. โ€ข Solve on screen โ€” problems appear one at a time. Write the answer the way you would on paper; submit and keep moving while checking happens in the background. โ€ข See real progress โ€” per-problem results, a walkthrough of every answer after each set, and a goal that completes when the skills are mastered. FOR PARENTS MathStride is set up and owned by an adult; a child practices under your account and supervision. Answers written on screen are processed to check them and never stored. You can delete the account โ€” and all its data โ€” any time, right in the app. FREE AND PLUS Every account includes 3 free practice sets per month. MathStride Plus gives 50 sets per month. Independently created educational software โ€” not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any standards organization or exam program. โ€” Subscription โ€” MathStride Plus is an auto-renewing monthly subscription ($9.99/month) that gives 50 practice sets per month. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://mathstride.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://mathstride.app/privacy

AI Tutor is a math homework helper and study buddy that never just hands you the answer. Snap a photo of a math problem, and your AI math tutor reads it and asks you step-by-step questions until you solve it yourself, the way a great math tutor does. WHY STUDENTS AND PARENTS CHOOSE IT โ€ข Math homework help for grade 1 to grade 12: elementary math, middle school math, high school math, algebra 1, pre-algebra, geometry and word problems โ€ข Step by step math, not a math solver: the tutor gives hints, checks your work and asks the next question โ€ข Scan math problems with the camera or pick a photo; handwriting and several problems in one picture are fine โ€ข Snap your written work: the tutor points to the exact line that went wrong and keeps guiding โ€ข Answer by typing, by voice, or by handwriting on the iPad scratchpad โ€ข Stuck? Ask for a hint, say "I'm stuck", or get a short lesson that re-explains the concept with a new example โ€ข Animated visuals for fractions, geometry, number lines and bar models โ€ข Your study buddy Pi, a little dog in a graduation cap, waves, thinks along and celebrates every correct step TOPICS COVERED Fractions, decimals, percent, ratio and proportion, equations, algebra, geometry, area and perimeter, word problems, arithmetic and mental math, functions, statistics and probability, exam prep. FOR PARENTS Help kids with math even if you have forgotten how. Use it as a math checker for finished homework, or let the app sit with your child while you cook. The parent report shows problems done, time spent, how much was solved without help, and the skills that need practice. Share it with one tap. LEARN MATH BETTER The tutor remembers where your child usually trips up and brings it back at the right moment in the next problem. Every session ends with a summary of the concepts used, so learning math sticks instead of copying answers. LANGUAGES English, Vietnamese, French, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. The tutor teaches in the language of the problem. BY GRADE Grade 1, grade 2, grade 3, grade 4, grade 5 (elementary math), grade 6, grade 7, grade 8 (middle school math, pre-algebra), grade 9, grade 10, grade 11, grade 12 (algebra 1, algebra 2, geometry, precalculus). Also used for homeschool math, summer math practice, math test prep and catching up after a missed class. FREE Unlimited problems. No sign-in required to start. Sign in to keep your progress across devices. AI Tutor is the homework app for students who want to actually understand math, and for parents who want more than a photo math answer key.
