A math-practice tool that checks photos of handwritten work line by line and offers hints instead of worked answers.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-08 issue.
For
Students practicing Algebra 1, Algebra 2, or AP Calculus AB
Worth noticing
Its FERMAT-dataset test reports 92 of 100 planted mistakes found, but also 75 flags among 189 solutions the dataset scores as correct.

Field notes

The workflow asks students to solve problems on paper, photograph their work, confirm the transcription, and inspect line-level feedback. The homepage lists Algebra 1 and 2 plus AP Calculus AB, with a free allowance of three checks per day. Its own dataset test also reports false flags among solutions scored correct, a limitation the site explicitly tells students to keep in mind.
