Everything your child needs to master maths
Kākā Math combines personalised learning with proven methods to create a truly effective maths learning experience.
Snap. Analyse. Learn.
Students can photograph their handwritten maths work -- homework, practice problems, or test prep. Our AI instantly analyses the working, identifying exactly where they went right and where they need help.

Hints, Not Answers
When students get stuck on a question, Kākā doesn't just hand over the answer. Instead, progressive hints guide them towards discovering the solution themselves. Each hint reveals a little more, building genuine understanding step by step.
-
Progressive Reveal
Multiple levels of hints, from gentle nudges to detailed guidance

Builds Real Understanding
Students learn to think through problems, not just memorise answers
-
Always Patient
No judgement, no frustration -- just encouragement at every step
Learning That Feels Like Playing
Maths should be fun. Our gamification system keeps students motivated with meaningful rewards and visible progress.

Leaderboard
See how you stack up with leaderboards for Altitude, Feathers, and Streaks. Tap any profile to see their stats and badges. Friendly competition keeps things fun.
Master Your Times Tables
A fast-paced mini-game dedicated to times table fluency. Students pick which tables to practise, then race through 10 timed questions. The harder the combination, the more Feathers they earn.

Voice or Keypad
Answer by typing on the number pad or by speaking the answer aloud
