Scratch paper that checks your work.
MathPad puts column math on a screen the way kids learn it on paper: carries, borrows, long division, fractions and graphs. A fairy or dragon guide gives hints, not answers.
The math notebook, on a screen.
Kids already know how to do math on paper. MathPad keeps that layout and adds a patient helper who notices the moment a digit goes wrong.
Columns, like on paper
Type the numbers row by row and the pad lines up every column. The box you are working in lights up, one digit at a time.
Carries and borrows get their own boxes
Carry the one into a small cell above the column, borrow from the next column over, and write partial products on their own rows.
Long division, step by step
Divide, multiply, subtract, bring down, repeat. Each step has its own row, so you can see exactly where a mistake crept in.
Fractions, shapes and graphs
Add and simplify fractions, work out area, perimeter and angles, plot points on a real coordinate grid, and solve for x.
Explanation mode with a guide
Pick a fairy or a dragon. The guide walks through a solved problem one step at a time, in plain words, with a memory trick for the rule.
Homework, made or scanned
Build a practice set by grade and topic from MathPad’s own math engine, or let a grown-up scan a worksheet and turn it into a set.
Story problems in their world
Word problems starring the child’s own hero, set in a world they pick or write themselves: dragons, moonbases, oceans, or anything else.
Parents and teachers can follow along
Grown-ups see every step a child typed, not just the final answer, and can grade, adjust marks and leave notes.

Pick a world and a guide
Choose a storyline (or write your own) and a fairy or dragon guide. The world sets the colors and the story problems.

Work it out, one box at a time
Every digit is checked as it is typed. A wrong digit gets a nudge, a second miss gets a hint, and finishing without hints earns a star.

Grown-ups check the steps
A parent signs in with the parent email on the profile to add homework, review each step and leave a note.
Built for kids. Useful for the grown-ups around them.
Students

Parents
See how your child got the answer, not just whether it was right. Add homework, grade it and invite other family members to help.
Teachers
Show column math on screen the way you teach it on the board. Classroom tools with join codes are on the way.
Schools
A K-12 math pad with no ads and encrypted child profiles. School accounts verified by your school domain are coming soon.
Six storylines. Or write your own.
Each world recolors the pad, names the hero and gives the guide a voice for its story problems.

Plain-language guides to the methods your child is learning, each with a worked example.
Made for children, so we kept it small.
We collect what MathPad needs to work and protect the parts that identify a child.
- No ads, and no third-party advertising or tracking scripts.
- A child’s display name and grade are encrypted in our database (AES-256-GCM).
- No passwords to leak: sign-in uses one-time email links that expire in 15 minutes.
- Under 13, homework reminder emails go to the parent, never to the child.
- The account owner can delete a child’s profile and its history at any time.
