Mathway turns any typed or photographed problem into a free answer within seconds, at any level up to calculus. Maths Angel covers Years 6–11 and does the slower work of a tutor: it teaches your child to get the same question right on their own.
Maths Angel is a tutor, so the working matters more than the answer. Write −8 for 2⁻³ and ChatCat says you’ve treated the minus as part of the answer, and teaches you the right method.
A map of 500+ connected skills then chooses the follow-up: the earlier skill the slip exposed gets its own 3–4 minute animated lesson, and a practice set behind it.
A maths solver. Type a problem or photograph it and the answer comes back in seconds, across maths from arithmetic to calculus. However, it returns the answer and never sees what your child wrote, and your child can’t ask it anything: there is no chat, no way to ask why.
