Two programs

Math, in your world.

One teaches the math you actually use. The other teaches you to read the numbers behind the news, the chart, the claim.

Make Math Mine

The math you can actually use.

Three ways to learn: a path to follow, problems to drill, or anything you upload. One tutor across all three. Every lesson shaped around the contexts you already think about.

Wise to Numbers

Get wise to what the stats and charts really say.

Numerical literacy for adults: reading charts, understanding statistical claims, and not being fooled by misleading data. At home, at work, and everywhere a number shows up.

We’ll keep you posted and tell you the moment it’s ready.

01

Make Math Mine

The math you can actually use.

Built for adults who want to learn it for themselves: career-changers, returners, parents, professionals filling gaps, hobbyists. Three modes, one tutor, full personalization.

How you'll use it

However you need to learn today.

Three ways to learn. Each one meets you somewhere different in your day.

01 · Core Path

Start where you are. Move when you're ready.

A path top to bottom: Number Foundations through Pre-Calculus and Statistics. The placement assessment maps where you actually are; the path adapts from there.

  • 10 phases, 59 units, from Number Foundations through Statistics & Probability
  • Lessons explain the why, then walk you through it

02 · Free Practice

Drill the thing until it sticks.

Practice any skill we cover, with no daily caps. Pick the topic, set the difficulty, work as many problems as you want. The tutor watches what you miss and shapes the next hint to where you actually got stuck.

  • Any skill, any difficulty, no daily caps
  • Hints tuned to your specific stumble, not generic explanations
  • Track what's sticking and what isn't

03 · Teach Me This

Whatever's on your desk, turned into a lesson.

Your kid's worksheet. A slide from a course. A problem from work. Upload it and we'll build a lesson around it. One step at a time, shaped to where you actually are.

  • Upload PDFs, images, slides, or paste text directly
  • The tutor extracts the math, then teaches it in your context

The differentiator

Lessons in the shape of your life.

Most adult math products teach through abstract examples: train problems, sports stats you don't follow, widgets that mean nothing to your life. Make Math Mine builds lessons around the context you actually think about.

If you're a career-changer filling in the gaps
The math is the algebra, ratios, and probability that show up in every job description, relearned properly, in the order that actually makes them stick.
If you're a nurse back in school
The math is dosing, ratios, and the algebra beneath both, taught through cases instead of pulled out of context.
If you're a parent supporting a kid
The math is what they brought home tonight, explained one step at a time, through what you already know.
If you just want to finally understand it
Tell us what you do, what you read, what you build. The lessons take the shape of the things you already think about.

A lesson, three ways

Three lives. Three lessons. Same one-step-at-a-time pedagogy.

The math is shaped to the world you actually live in: your job, your kitchen, your team.

For someone at the officePercent change: three quarters of growth
Sales grew 8% in Q1, 12% in Q2, 5% in Q3. What's the year-to-date growth?
01
Compounding ≠ adding. The instinct says 8 + 12 + 5 = 25%. But each quarter's growth stacks on top of the new (bigger) base.
02
Multiply the growth factors: 1.08 × 1.12 × 1.05 = 1.270.
03
That's 27.0% YTD, about 2 points higher than the naive sum. The bigger the percentages, the wider the gap.
Same compounding shows up in interest, inflation, and stacked discounts. Want me to draw the connection?
For someone in the kitchenFractions: scaling a recipe up
Recipe serves 4:  cups flour,  cup milk, 2 tbsp butter. You're cooking for 6. How much of each?
01
Scale factor: 6 ÷ 4 = 1.5. Every ingredient multiplies by that.
02
Flour: 1¾ × 1.5 = 2⅝ cups. Milk: ⅔ × 1.5 = 1 cup exactly. Butter: 2 × 1.5 = 3 tbsp.
03
Notice ⅔ × 1.5 landed on a whole number. That's because 1.5 = 3/2 and the 3s cancel. Useful spot.
The same scaling logic doubles a coffee ratio or adjusts a paint mix. Same math, different surface.
For someone following the seasonProportional reasoning: pace and projection
Through 12 games of a 17-game season, your QB has thrown for 3,210 yards. At that pace, what's his projected season total? Last year's NFL leader threw for 4,725.
01
Yards per game so far: 3,210 ÷ 12 = 267.5.
02
Project across the full season: 267.5 × 17 ≈ 4,548.
03
About 177 yards short of last year's leader, a top-5 season but not the crown.
Pace projection is one ratio scaled up. Same idea as scaling a recipe or projecting next quarter's revenue.

Same concept · Your context

One topic. Five lives.

Percentages: the same concept, taught five different ways. Same math underneath; the surface changes to match the learner.

For a career-changer Percentages
A job offer is 12% above your current $58,000 salary. What's the new salary?
For a nurse Percentages
A patient needs 0.5% saline. The stock bag is 0.9%. What ratio do you dilute?
For a parent Percentages
Your kid scored 18 out of 25 on the quiz. What's that as a percent?
For a baker Percentages
The recipe calls for 60% hydration. With 500g of flour, how much water?
For a budget-keeper Percentages
You've spent $487 of your $800 monthly budget. What percent is left?
Tell us what you do. The lessons take the shape of your world.

Your tutor

A tutor that doesn't sigh.

Adult learners don't need to be talked down to. They need someone who'll work the same problem four different ways without getting tired, who notices where you specifically got tripped up, and who's there at 11pm the night before the exam.

That's what the Make Math Mine tutor is for. The same voice stays with you across Core Path, Free Practice, and every Teach Me This upload, remembering where you've been getting stuck, and shaping the next hint to meet you there.

  • Available anytime
  • Notices where you got stuck
  • Same voice, all three modes

What the math is about

Other apps personalize the order. We personalize the problems.

Fractions through recipes. Rates through road trips. Percents through the sale rack.

Free Practice writes problems around your interests on the spot, checks them for realistic numbers before you see them, and swaps any miss in one tap, because research keeps finding that the feel of a problem is the part AI gets wrong, and you're the only judge of it that works.

Why we built it this way →

Public beta

We’re building this with you.

Make Math Mine is in public beta. Fully working, and still getting better every week. That second part is where you come in.

Every problem carries a quiet question underneath it: did we get the setup right?When we didn’t (a price that’s off, a scenario nobody would actually meet), the thumbs under the problem tell us, and we make it better. Joining during the beta means the product takes shape around people like you. We read every single note.

Wise to Numbers

Get wise to what the stats and charts really say.

The second Nummmbers program: numerical literacy for adults. Read charts in news articles, understand the statistics in your kid's school report, parse the data analytics deck at work, spot when a number is being used to mislead you.

Same personalization approach as Make Math Mine: lessons built around the contexts you actually encounter. Capstone: build a couple of your own data visualizations from real data.

We’ll keep you posted and tell you the moment it’s ready.

A taste of what you'll learn
What's misleading about this chart?
Two-bar chart. The y-axis runs 50% to 62%, not 0% to 100%, so Plan B (58%) appears almost three times taller than Plan A (53%) even though the real difference is five percentage points. The truncated baseline is the misleading move.62%58%54%50%Plan A53%Plan B58%

The trick: the Y-axis starts at 50%, not 0%. Plan B looks almost three times taller than Plan A, but the real gap is five percentage points. Same data, honest axis, very different story.
