Math for grades K–8 · iPhone & iPad

Understanding first. No fireworks.

mathtale is a pannable map of small math games — each one teaches a real idea through pictures and manipulation, using actual symbols instead of cartoons. No coins, no confetti, no fantasy world between a kid and the math.

Download on the App Store Phone-first, and built to run on a small, older phone.

See it before you symbol it

Games are visual and hands-on — you move, stack, and try things first. The notation shows up once the idea is already yours.

↺

Trying again is free

A reset is always one tap away, most games have more than one solution, and a help button walks back to the underlying concept. Reaching is encouraged.

◎

It learns what you know

Underneath the tiles, a content engine tracks what a learner has mastered, the mistakes they make on purpose, and how well they know each game — then quietly sequences what comes next and routes the right help.

Tools that get discovered

Persistent tools — an RPN calculator, a dice simulator, a function machine — sit on the map waiting to be found. Threads of computing and probability run all the way through K–8.

A peek inside

Quiet, honest math practice.

For families who want the learning without the hooks. Grades K–8, on iPhone and iPad.
