Ask, and Gemini’s Guided Learning walks your child through a problem in stages. Maths Angel starts from what they’ve already written: ChatCat spots the slip without being asked and follows the skill map back to where the trouble began.
Maths Angel only does maths, and goes deeper for it. When your child writes 110° for a co-interior angle, ChatCat says “you made the co-interior angles equal”, then plays the lesson on angles in parallel lines.
If the trouble started further back, the skill map knows: its 500+ skills connect in teaching order, and the 3–4 minute animated lesson it picks will be the earlier one.
Google’s general-purpose AI assistant. It explains a question in any subject, and its Guided Learning mode takes a problem in stages and asks questions as it goes. However, it comments on a slip when asked but doesn’t trace it to the missing skill.

Gemini is a general assistant. Maths Angel is a maths tutor. ChatCat stays on the UK curriculum, treats every user as a minor, spots the exact slip in the working, and backs each chat with real lessons and past papers, a focus a do-everything AI doesn’t have.
