Find a place to start when math gets stuck.
For parents helping a learner with Grade 6 ratios and the ideas underneath them. Follow the prerequisites, try a lesson, then check the skill with new numbers. A starting signal, not a diagnosis or proof of lasting mastery.
Try a 90-second walkthrough: open Ratios, follow a prerequisite if needed, answer a practice question, then try a fresh check. Allow longer for the full lesson. Younger learners need an adult beside them; this supports practice alongside school or tutoring.
Math 6, one row. The filled node is mastered. The rest of the pathway, kindergarten to AP Calculus BC, is on the map.

Find my starting point: six questions, then a map to follow
Free to start, no card: the whole map, kindergarten to AP Calculus BC, and 28 nodes open all the way (the first two of every course), study sheet and practice, for one child on this device. The family plan is $12 a month, or $99 a year, for up to six children, with every node open. See what is in it.
A confident start, one idea at a time
When your child says “I can’t do this,” try asking, “Which part can we work out together?” At the start of a school year, or whenever math feels difficult, make room to ask questions, use a hint and try again.
Start with something familiar.
Choose one idea on the map and read a worked example together. Ask your child to explain a step they recognise before moving to a new question.
Let a mistake guide the next step.
Ask where the answer stopped making sense. Use a hint, draw it on the board, or follow a line back on the map to revisit an earlier idea. Then try the question again.
Notice the strategy.
Be specific: “Your drawing helped us see the parts,” or “You checked that step and found the mistake.” Finish by asking what they would try next time.
A filled node records independent answers. Hints and retries are part of practice, too; an unfinished node gives you something to work on together.
Find an idea to work on together →What it is
The 14 courses of the accelerated pathway, laid out as one graph of 189 nodes. Each node is one idea: what it means, three worked examples in plain English, a page of practice with hints, and a harder climb for the child who is ready.
How it is used
- Find the node on the map. The lines into it are what it needs; the lines out are what it opens.
- Read the sheet, then practice. Every question has a board beside it to work it out by hand, with a pen, a finger or the mouse.
- Fill a node by answering every core question correctly on the first try, without hints. Clean answers carry over between sessions; retry the ones still to fix. Ratios and Exponents also need three new-number questions right on their first attempts without hints. Repeating revealed answers is practice, not fresh evidence. Class marks are self-reported; none of these is proof of lasting recall.
What it costs
- Free includes the whole map, kindergarten to AP Calculus BC, and 28 nodes open all the way (the first two of every course), study sheet and practice, for one child on this device. Free keeps progress on this device. Family syncs progress across devices.
- Every node on the map open all the way, up to six children on one account, each with their own map, progress saved to the account and followed to every device. $12 a month or $99 a year.
No ads. No tracking. Nothing sold.
No ads, no tracking pixels, no selling of anything to anybody. What we keep is a parent's name and email, a password hash, and each child's first name and practice results. Children under 13 never get an account of their own: a parent adds them as profiles and switches between them. The board's pages never leave the device. The privacy policy says it all in one page, and the terms in another.
