Help with math homework without redoing it yourself.
Most of us learned to carry and borrow a long time ago, and maybe a little differently. MathPad lays the problem out the way your child learns it in class, checks each step, and shows you exactly where things went sideways.
Your view of your child’s math.
See how they got there
Every digit your child typed is saved with the problem, along with anything they sketched in the scratch area. You see the carry they forgot, not just a red X.
Turn a worksheet into a set
Scan or upload the worksheet that came home and MathPad pulls out the problems. Or build a practice set by grade and topic in a few taps.
Check and grade
Calculator mode shows the problem fully solved, step by step, so you can check an answer without doing it on the back of an envelope. Adjust marks and leave a note.
Hints, not answers
A wrong digit gets a gentle nudge. A second miss gets a hint about that step. Your child still does the thinking.
Bring in the family
Invite another parent, guardian or grandparent. Grandparents can assign a set number of homework sets each week or month, and you can change or remove access any time.
Due-date reminders
Give homework a due date and MathPad can send a reminder. For children under 13, the reminder comes to you, not to them.
Two sign-ins, one child.
- 1. Your child signs in with their email (or yours) and picks a world and a guide.
- 2. Add your email as the parent email on their profile.
- 3. Use parent sign-in with that email. You get a one-time link that opens your child’s MathPad in parent view.
Built with kids in mind.
- No ads and no third-party tracking scripts.
- Your child’s display name and grade are encrypted in our database.
- Once you add the parent email, your child cannot change it.
- Worksheet scanning is for grown-ups; a child is asked to get a parent or teacher.
- You can delete the profile and its history from inside MathPad.
