Handwriting Math

Learn math the natural way — write it out, get instant AI feedback.

A tablet app that lets students solve math problems by hand while receiving real-time guidance. No typing, no multiple choice — just pencil-to-paper learning powered by AI.


Why Handwriting Math?

Students learn math better when they write it out. Research shows handwriting improves retention and understanding. But traditional paper worksheets can't tell you where you went wrong.

Handwriting Math combines the best of both worlds:

  • Write naturally on your iPad with Apple Pencil or finger
  • Get instant feedback on every step — not just the final answer
  • Learn from mistakes with progressive hints that guide without giving away the solution
  • Track progress across practice sessions

Key Features

AI-Powered Step-by-Step Validation

Our AI doesn't just check your answer — it validates every step of your solution. Made an arithmetic error on step 3? You'll know immediately, with guidance on how to fix it.

Progressive Hint System

Stuck? Get hints that escalate from concepts to direction to specific guidance. The AI teaches you how to think through problems, not just what the answer is.

Voice Integration

Listen to problems read aloud or hear hints spoken. Great for auditory learners and accessibility.

Teacher Collaboration

Teachers can assign problems, monitor student progress in real-time, and see exactly where students struggle. No more waiting until homework is graded to identify learning gaps.

Interactive Tutorials

Guided walkthroughs teach problem-solving strategies step-by-step. Watch, practice, master.


How AI Helps Students Learn Faster

Traditional Worksheets Handwriting Math
Feedback after grading (hours/days) Instant feedback on each step
"Wrong" with no explanation Specific error identification
One-size-fits-all hints Adaptive hints based on your mistake
Can't see your work process AI understands your handwritten steps
Practice alone Teacher sees progress in real-time

Result: Students identify and correct misconceptions immediately, instead of practicing mistakes.
