Jo Boaler, a Professor at Stanford University has discovered that the way we teach children how to do math can be damaging to their ability to actually do math. Learning math by using speed tests and rote memorization lead to students only comprehending math in specific math fact chunks. Boeler asserts that we should teach students math using more interactive techniques that don’t empasize speed and memorization. Rather if students learn math in a more supportive and eclectic environment, they will think positively about math, and enjoy learning math much more. Boeler calls the style of learning “Number Sense.” In this, rather than a student learning 5 * 6 = 30 in a factual sense, they can understand that you are taking the number 5 and adding it up 6 times. The experience is more rewarding for the student, and helps them want to continue to do math.

Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
