Maths Angel vs Corbettmaths

Corbettmaths is a free library of teacher-made videos and worksheets. The site never sees your child’s answers. Maths Angel reads their working and teaches the skill behind each mistake.

The key difference

Maths Angel

AI maths tutor

Your child photographs the worksheet they worked on, and ChatCat marks the method, not just the answer. It names the exact mistake, says why it happened, and teaches the correct approach. If it still isn’t clear, your child can ask again.

A map of 500+ connected skills then picks what comes next. Tonight’s mistake points back to what was missed earlier: a 3–4 minute animated lesson re-teaches it, practice checks it stuck, and the skills profile ticks it off as mastered.

Corbettmaths

free library

A free library of maths videos, worksheets and daily 5-a-day practice, made by one maths teacher. Pick a topic, watch the video, work through the practice questions, then mark the work against the published answers. Those answers show what was right, not where your child’s method went wrong. There is no chat and no tutor on the site to ask why, and it never sees what your child wrote.

When Maths Angel suits your child better

Corbettmaths has a video for almost every topic, but your child has to guess which gap to fill. Maths Angel finds the gap first: ChatCat reads the working, names the slip, and the skill map picks the one lesson that fixes it, so revision time lands where the marks are.
