Math Pad: Math Step by Step

Your child brings home a division problem. You can do it… but you cannot explain it. Or you learned it a different way.

MathPad solves the sum in front of them and explains every digit, the way someone who knows would explain it: "7 + 8 = 15, I write 5 and carry 1". Carries in red, results in green, and the method you choose.

It is not a calculator. A calculator gives you the answer. MathPad shows you the way.

▸ PLENTY TO PRACTISE
- Addition and subtraction with carrying
- Multiplication, single and multi-digit
- Division with remainder and quotient
- Times tables from 0 to 10
- Fractions: simplify, compare, add, subtract, multiply and divide
- Percentages
- Powers and square roots
- First-degree equations
- Mixed operations and order of operations
- Unit conversion
- Word problems
- All of it with decimals too

▸ TWO MODES
- Learn: the notebook solves the sum and explains each step in plain words.
- Practise: you type each digit into the highlighted box. Get it wrong and you get a hint.

You can step forwards and backwards as many times as you need. Nobody is rushing you.

▸ THE METHOD YOU WERE TAUGHT
Not everyone learned to subtract and divide the same way. Choose how the working is laid out: the division box or long division, subtraction by carrying or by borrowing. If you learned it differently, or you come from another country, nothing gets lost in translation.

▸ WORD PROBLEMS: THE HARD PART
Reading a problem and working out which operation to use is harder than the arithmetic. MathPad gives the wording and lets the child pick the operation and — in subtraction and division — where each number goes. That is how you know they have really understood it.

▸ SCAN THE SUM, OFFLINE TOO
Take a photo of the notebook or the board and we solve it together, step by step. The text is recognised on the phone itself: the photo is never uploaded anywhere and is not saved to your gallery.

▸ ALSO
- Draw on the notebook with your finger or a stylus, like on real paper.
- Save solved sums to go over them again.
- Share the notebook as an image.
- Daily streak, without the pressure.
- Six colours to choose from and automatic dark mode.

▸ WHO IT IS FOR
For anyone who needs it. It starts with the basics and goes up to equations and powers, so it works for someone at primary school, for an adult brushing up, for someone preparing an exam, or for anyone helping with homework.

And if you teach, you can project it and work through a sum with the whole class, step by step.

▸ NO SMALL PRINT
- No ads. None.
- No in-app purchases.
- No sign-up: we do not ask for your name, email, age or location.
- 100% offline. Everything works without internet, the scanner included.

Your sums, your drawings and your settings stay on the device. There is no server to send them to.

It felt like the least we could do for an app that children are going to use.

▸ LANGUAGES
Spanish and English.
