Practice maths with a pen, not a keyboard.

MathsEdge is a maths-practice tool built for the way students actually work. Write your working by hand on a digital pad — algebra, explanations and diagrams on the one page. The marker reads your page the way a teacher would, and tells you which step went wrong. Plus an integrated reference textbook aligned to the Australian Curriculum v9 and the Victorian Curriculum 2.0.

Built for maths, not for text

Three things that make it feel right for the subject.

Typing maths is a chore. Menus, palettes, and a keyboard that doesn't know the difference between an x and a variable. MathsEdge is designed around three ideas that respect how the subject is actually done.

Write like it's paper

One pad per part, stylus or finger. Algebra, a sentence explaining your reasoning, an arrow to the side, a sketched graph — all on the same page, wherever you like on it. There is nothing to switch between and nothing to retype.

Σ

Marked on your working

Not a mark out of two. The marker reads your page as written, awards the method marks you earned, and names the step where it broke — then writes out what it read, so you can check it read you right.

📖

Integrated reference book

Every skill links to its section in the built-in textbooks — theory, worked examples, click-to-reveal solutions. Curriculum-aligned to AC v9 and VC2.0. Read the primer before you attempt it, or right after.

Your page, read as written

Your page is the submission.

A digital pad with pressure-sensitive strokes, undo, colours and a spare-space extender for long working — ruled like an exercise book, or gridded when the question wants a graph. When you submit, that page goes to the marker exactly as you left it.

Solve \(2x^2 - 5x + 2 = 0\).
2x² − 5x + 2 = 0
(2x − 1)(x − 2) = 0
x = ½ or x = 2
✓ Correct. Both roots identified.
What the marker read
  1. \(2x^2 - 5x + 2 = 0\)
  2. \((2x - 1)(x - 2) = 0\)
  3. \(x = \tfrac{1}{2}\) or \(x = 2\)

The marker reads your page — and shows you what it read.

Marks follow the working. Set the problem up right, slip in the arithmetic, and you keep the method marks — a slip like \((x-4)(x+2) = x^2 - 8\) isn't "wrong answer", it's "the middle terms dropped; the correct expansion is \(x^2 - 2x - 8\)". Under every mark, What the marker read lists your working back to you, line by line, with the line it found the mistake on highlighted.

  • Awards partial credit when you got part of the working right
  • Reads ambiguous handwriting the way that helps you
  • Misread anyway? One re-mark by a different marker — a real re-mark, not an appeal
  • Practice replayed later in My results — with the page you wrote

Reference book, built in

Chapter 3.2 is one click away — never a page-flip.

The reference book is written by a practising Head of Mathematics — the same material, written for real classes. Every worked example, every chapter enrichment, every exercise — all typeset once, rendered cleanly in-app, aligned skill-by-skill with the practice engine. Miss a question? Follow the 📖 link straight to the section that teaches it.

1.2   Expanding binomial products

Learning intentions Expand two binomials using the distributive law. Use FOIL and the area (grid) method reliably.
Example 1.2 Expand \((x+4)(x+10)\).
Solution shown by default: \(x^2 + 14x + 40\).
Key idea Every term in the first bracket multiplies every term in the second — four products, then collect like terms.

Wired straight into practice.

When you're generating a question, every tagged skill shows a 📖 Ch X.Y pill. Below the model solution, a 💡 Explain button gives you an on-the-fly primer with one worked example, tailored to that skill. Read before you practice, or read after you get one wrong — same click either way.

  • Curriculum-aligned to AC v9 and VC2.0 (10A stretch flagged)
  • Click-to-reveal solutions and answers
  • KaTeX-rendered math, SVG diagrams, no page-flip lag

Subjects are rolling out slowly.

MathsEdge is still under construction. Only a small slice of the Australian curriculum is live today; the rest is being written and verified chapter-by-chapter, then released once every answer has been checked. If a subject you need isn't listed below, let us know — it helps us sequence what's next.

Year 10 Pre-Methods · Live Year 9 Maths · Live VCE Specialist 3&4 · Rolling out VCE Methods 3&4 · Planned Year 7–8 · Planned
