Homeschool math, taught and graded for you.
Powered by AI. Done in pencil. Your child never sees a screen.
Homeschool math usually makes you choose. A workbook keeps your child on paper, but the teaching, grading and planning fall to you, for every child at every level. An online program grades the work, but it checks only the final answer, and requires your child to use a screen. Akros ends the trade-off. Each morning, each of your children gets a new lesson to print, built from their own answers: the next topics they’re ready to learn, plus practice on what they missed. They work it in pencil, you snap a photo, and Akros reads every step, coaches every mistake and builds tomorrow’s lesson.
- Teaching: a Concept Lesson for every new topic
- Grading: AI reads every step from your photo
- Every child: their own lesson, siblings half price
- Your time: about 5 minutes a day

How Akros fits your homeschool day
- The lesson arrives. Each morning, your child’s next lesson comes by email, ready to print and built from their last answers.
- Your child learns on paper. A Concept Lesson teaches the new topic with a key rule, worked examples and the most common mistake to avoid. Then your child practices, fixes yesterday’s misses and reviews older skills, all in pencil.
- You snap a photo. Scan the QR code on the lesson and photograph each page. That’s your part: about 5 minutes.
- Tomorrow adapts. Akros grades every step and builds the next lesson around what your child got right and what they missed.
How Akros compares with other homeschool math
| Akros | Workbook curriculum | Online math program | Why it matters | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| New topics | Taught on the page by a Concept Lesson | You teach them from the teacher’s guide | Taught by video, on a screen | You never have to re-learn the math before teaching it. |
| Grading | Every step, read from a photo | You, with the answer key | Final answers only | Every step checked, and no red pen for you. |
| After a mistake | Traced to the step that went wrong, then coached with a hint | Marked wrong, and you explain it | Marked wrong, or the solution shown | 97% of missed questions get fixed. |
| Starting point | Pre-tests each topic and skips what your child knows | The next page in the book | A placement test | No weeks spent on math your child already knows. |
| Several children | Each child’s own lesson, siblings half price | A book for each child, and you teach every level | A login and a screen for each child | One morning routine for all your children. |
| Screen time | None for your child | None | All of math time | A workbook’s paper without a workbook’s workload. |
| Records | Every skill and graded answer, with a photo of the work | Whatever you write down | Scores and time spent | Ready for a portfolio, an evaluator or your own peace of mind. |
Everything homeschool math needs, done for you
You don’t have to teach it.
Every new Math Topic comes with its own Concept Lesson: the key rule, a clear explanation, worked examples and a warning about the most common mistake. Every Concept Lesson is built for novice executability: it stands on its own, so your child can learn the topic just by reading the page and following the worked examples, whether it’s long division in fourth grade or equations in seventh. It works: on a brand-new topic, children go from about 25% correct before the lesson to 80% after it. You never have to re-learn the math first, and your child builds the self-sufficiency to figure things out on their own.
You’ll never grade another math page.
Snap a photo of each finished page. Akros reads every handwritten step, finds exactly where the thinking broke, and brings the skill back the next morning with fresh numbers and a hint aimed at that step, so your child still does the fixing. If that redo misses too, Akros Premium prints a Coaching Row, a lesson in miniature built from your child’s own work: a photo of what they wrote with a note on exactly what to fix, the same problem solved step by step the way a model student would write it, and a fresh problem to try. If a topic still doesn’t land, a Switchback teaches it a different way, and a missing earlier skill gets repaired first. After this coaching, 97% of missed questions get fixed.
Every child at their own level, at the same table.
Your third grader and your seventh grader each get their own lesson, built from their own answers. Akros follows each child’s Knowledge Frontier: the new Math Topics they’re ready for because they’ve mastered every skill those topics depend on, whatever their grade. It skips what they already know, repairs what’s missing, and moves a child past grade level when their answers show they’re ready. There are no teacher’s guides to juggle, and every sibling is half price.
All the power of AI. None of the screen time.
Akros never puts your child on a device. Lessons print at home, your child writes out every step in pencil, and only you pick up a phone, to take the photo. The AI works behind the scenes: it reads the handwriting, pinpoints each mistake and writes the next lesson. Writing math by hand is how cognitive science says it’s best learned, and math time stays free of screens.
Skills that last all year.
Each lesson brings back recent misses while they’re fresh and reviews older skills right before your child would forget them, at widening intervals. Every review uses fresh questions, so your child recalls the method instead of recognizing an old problem. 85% of fixed mistakes are still answered correctly a week or more later, with no hints.
A complete math curriculum, Kindergarten through Grade 8.
Akros teaches more than 450 Math Topics, each with its own lesson: place value, the four operations, fractions and decimals, geometry, measurement, time and money, data, ratios and percents, integers and exponents, expressions and equations, and probability. Grade 8 goes well into Algebra 1, with systems of equations, factoring and quadratics. Kindergarten and Grade 1 use Akros Junior, a visual See It → Do It → Try It format with minimal reading, and Summit Sprint builds math-fact speed along the way.
You get to be the coach, not the grader.
When a parent is also the math teacher and the grader, math can become the hardest part of the day. With Akros, the lesson does the teaching and the coaching. You get the best part: each morning’s email tells you what your child accomplished and gives you one question to ask at dinner.
Your records keep themselves.
Every printed lesson carries your child’s name, the lesson number and the date. Your parent dashboard shows every skill learned and every mistake fixed, with a photo of your child’s handwritten work beside each graded answer. There’s nothing to grade and nothing to log, and you have a full record of the year for a portfolio review, an evaluator or your own peace of mind.
