Placement is being built to find where you’re ready to begin in each part of fractions, with no grades and no answers shown while it checks.

Unstoppable LearningMath
A Grade 4 math adventure, starting with fractions. Pick a friend and learn one idea at a time.
The path
Placement is being built to find where each learner is ready to begin, with no grades and no answers shown while it checks.

We show you, then you try it, and many lessons stretch the idea into new forms. Every lesson plays in full, in the author’s order.

You see the right answer and the reason, counted out on the picture, and your first answer is kept.

The engine we’re building brings each new idea back for short practice on days 2, 3 and 5.

The engine is designed to space each idea’s reviews through the school year, before it’s likely to slip.
Inside a lesson
Every picture below is drawn by the same figure engine the lessons use. Scroll through steps modeled on the fractions lessons, and try the questions yourself.
We’re building an engine that plans each day from what a learner has shown. These parts exist in code and are being tested. They aren’t on the learner path yet.
Placement looks for the first idea a learner doesn’t know yet in each part of fractions, and shows no answers while it checks.
A new idea returns on a learner’s 2nd, 3rd and 5th days in the app, with a check on day 5. Only days they use the app count.
A missed question returns after three others, not straight away, so it’s a real second look.
Each idea gets its own review timing, designed to bring it back before it’s likely to slip, through the school year.
An idea counts as learned when the model has strong evidence, not when a score crosses a percentage.
The journey
Learners pick one of six great minds from history to keep them company. Each stop below happens in a companion’s world, and the math is the same with every one.
EinsteinThe big-question asker
AdaThe imaginative thinker
RamanujanThe thoughtful discoverer
HypatiaThe open-minded questioner
NewtonThe curious observer

Day 1
Every lesson plays in full, in the author’s order: first we show you, then it’s your turn, and many lessons stretch the idea into new forms.

I wonder what we’ll notice next.Srinivasa Ramanujan · Wonder Garden

Miss one?
Miss a question and you see the right answer and the reason. The learning engine we’re building brings that question back after three others.

What if the impossible were possible?Albert Einstein · Sky Observatory

Days 2, 3, 5
In developmentIn the learning engine we’re building, a new idea comes back for short practice on your 2nd, 3rd and 5th days, with a check on day 5.

Let’s look a little closer.Hypatia · Inventor’s Workshop

All year
In developmentThe engine we’re building schedules each idea’s reviews, bringing it back before it’s likely to slip, through the school year.

Even a small question can grow.Isaac Newton · River City

Every day
In developmentThe engine we’re building plans each day’s session to take about 25 minutes. It’s a plan, not a countdown, and stories are a bonus on top.
Pick a companion, learn one idea at a time, and earn XP along the way, with stories to unlock in your clubhouse chest.
