Raise a Child That Actually Understands Math
Math Roots uses AI to teach the understanding that school math skips — so your child doesn't just keep up, they get ahead.
Grades 3–8 · Launching Summer 2026 · Early access for waitlist families
Your Child Isn't Bad at Math.
They just haven't been taught to understand it.
- They follow the steps fine — until the problem changes. Then they freeze.
- It's like learning a language by memorizing phrases — you can order coffee but you can't have a conversation.
- 3 out of 4 eighth graders aren't proficient in math. It's not the kids — it's the approach.Source: 2024 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), U.S. Department of Education
We Teach the Understanding That School Math Skips
Your child gets two AI learning partners: a tutor that teaches and a peer that makes thinking out loud feel natural.
An AI Tutor That Teaches, Not Drills
It adapts to how your child thinks — asking the right questions instead of just checking answers. They won't just get the right answer — they'll know why it's right.
An AI Peer That Makes Learning Social
A study buddy your child can talk through problems with. It feels like a conversation, not a test. They'll explain their thinking out loud — which is how real understanding sticks.
Built for Understanding, Not Speed
No timers. No leaderboards. Just a safe space to think deeply and build real confidence. They'll tackle unfamiliar problems without freezing up.
What a Session Looks Like
Two 30-minute sessions per week. Your child opens the app and starts talking.
The AI Tutor Leads the Lesson
The tutor asks questions designed to build thinking — not just check answers. Each session picks up exactly where they left off.
The AI Peer Reasons Through It Together
Your child talks through the math with their AI study buddy — explaining their thinking, debating ideas, and working through problems out loud.
The App Learns How Your Child Thinks
Every session, the app captures what your child knows and how they learn — so the next session is more tailored to them.
Built by One of America's Most Trusted Math Educators
Math Roots was created by Kevin Moore, a math educator who has spent his career helping kids and teachers rediscover what math can be. Kevin founded The Number Lab and co-founded Long-View Micro School - one of Austin's most sought-after schools - and has trained over 1,000 teachers across the country in the methods behind Math Roots.
Now he's built those methods into an AI tutor that delivers the same experience to your child - personalized, adaptive, and available anytime.

What Educators Are Saying
Number sense is the foundation everything else is built on.
Children who develop strong number sense don't just get better at arithmetic - they become better mathematical thinkers. They see relationships, spot patterns, and approach problems with flexibility instead of rigidity.
Jo Boaler
Stanford Mathematics Education Professor
The best learning happens in conversation.
When students explain their thinking to a peer, they deepen their own understanding. The act of articulating mathematical reasoning - even to an AI - forces the kind of reflection that builds lasting comprehension.
Magdalene Lampert
Mathematics Education Researcher
Kids don't need faster drills. They need deeper questions.
The rush to fluency through timed tests and repetitive practice often backfires. What children actually need is time to think, space to explore, and questions that invite them to make sense of mathematics on their own terms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Math Roots is an AI-powered math learning app for children in grades 3-8. It pairs your child with two AI characters - a tutor that teaches and adapts to how they think, and a peer that makes learning feel social and collaborative. The focus is on building deep number sense, not memorization.
Most math apps drill facts and reward speed. Math Roots is built around understanding. The AI tutor asks questions that build genuine comprehension, and the AI peer creates a social dynamic where your child talks through their thinking, explains their reasoning, and learns that struggle is a normal part of math.
The AI peer is a virtual study buddy that learns alongside your child. It asks questions, sometimes makes mistakes, and invites your child to explain their thinking. Research shows that explaining math to others is one of the most powerful ways to deepen understanding. The peer makes this happen naturally.
No. Math Roots is built on a structured number sense curriculum designed by experienced math educators. The AI tutor follows a carefully sequenced learning path and adapts to your child's responses in real time. The peer adds a social layer that makes the experience feel more like learning with a friend than talking to a machine.
Math Roots is designed for children in grades 3-8, typically ages 8-14. The curriculum and AI interactions are specifically tuned for these developmental stages, when number sense foundations are most critical.
We're currently building Math Roots and will be launching soon. Join the waitlist to be among the first families to get access when we launch.
We haven't announced pricing yet. Waitlist members will be the first to know about pricing and will receive early access offers. Join the waitlist to stay in the loop.
Absolutely. We take children's privacy seriously. All data is encrypted, we comply with COPPA regulations, and we never sell or share your child's information with third parties. Your child's learning data is used only to improve their personal experience.
The Math Roots curriculum was designed by experienced math educators who specialize in number sense development. It's grounded in research on how children actually learn mathematics - through understanding relationships between numbers, not memorizing procedures.
