How Colors Can Make Learning Math Easier

This new app uses color-coded numbers to solve math problems.

How Colors Can Make Learning Math Easier

A group of young students from Team Storm have created an app that aims to help dyslexic students learn math. Called the ROY G. BIV Math System, the app uses the color system to help students effectively solve math problems.

Going along with the the system’s name, the app uses color codes in place of numbers in a calculator, allowing each number to be a separate color and easier for students with learning disabilities to discern. The team’s goal is to use this app to ease stress for the 20% of the population with learning disabilities. Though the app is still in the beginning stages, the students have already been nationally recognized for their achievement.

It’s possible to drastically increase math ability by identifying one missing “micro-skill,” and we’d love to help you discover it.

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.
