Desk research from the maker's own pages. Not yet tried by us. Checked 2026-10-24.
A set of short, animated video lessons on basic math, made by two creators, Rob and Jeremy. Topics run from place value and long division to fractions, percents, geometry and early algebra, mostly what US students meet in grades 3 to 8. A child picks a topic and watches a clear, funny explainer. Videos are free; a paid membership adds printable worksheets and exercise PDFs. It is not a full curriculum and has no quizzes.
Our take: A strong free explainer for a child stuck on a basic math idea; families who need practice, feedback or a full course should pair it with something else.
Checked in a browser
A browser check on 2026-10-25: what loads, the ads and trackers we saw, and what a child meets first. Not a hands-on test.

|---|---|
| Data: 5 out of 5 | No ad, tracking or analytics networks; only Google Fonts and a content CDN were contacted. |
| Ease: 4 out of 5 | A clear list of lesson topics in large type that scrolls well on a phone, though a child reading it needs to know which topic to pick. |
| Cost honesty: 4 out of 5 | Says the video lessons are 'all free to watch'; the sign-up is for paid extras, shown quietly. |

Data and privacy
Accounts collect only name, email and billing postal code; payments go through Stripe and the site says it shares no personal data beyond that. The policy says it does not knowingly collect data from children, yet also carries a general line that third-party vendors such as Google may use cookies for ads; we saw no ad scripts on the site. Read the privacy policy.
Does it work?
No independent study found. The maker says plainly it is a supplement, not a full curriculum, and does not align to any standards on purpose.
