With Mathtutor, middle school students learn math by doing: they solve challenging math problems and study interactive examples. Intelligent software tutors give step-by-step help and feedback, as needed.

Teachers can create class lists, assign work to an entire class or an individual student, and view reports of student progress.

Mathtutor is free to use for any student or teacher.

The math content aligns with state and national standards and is categorized so that you can look for content by standard. Over the next two years, we will gradually add content covering the following strands:

  • Number and Operations
  • Algebra
  • Geometry
  • Measurement
  • Data Analysis and Probability

The intelligent software tutors on the site are based on a rich history of research on human learning. They were built at Carnegie Mellon University using the Cognitive Tutor Authoring Tools.

Mathtutor is supported by a grant from the US Department of Education.
