Math for the semester you’re actually in

The math between you and your degree.

The placement exam, the course you’re taking, or a gap from years back. A short free placement finds where you actually are, and your lessons start there.

  • “I don’t know” is always a valid answer
  • No timers, no red ink
  • Start free, upgrade only if it earns it

Free placement · no account or card needed to start

This semester

Three jobs, one starting point.

Wherever the deadline is coming from, the first step is the same: find the edge of what you know, then build from there.

Placement exams

Place higher. Skip the class you don’t need.

Placing one level higher can mean skipping a whole semester of prerequisite math. Our placement finds your real edge, and the path fills exactly the gaps the exam will poke at.

Useful for ALEKS PPL, TSIA2, TEAS, ASVAB, and GED prep.

The course you’re in

Keep up with the class that’s moving too fast.

Upload tonight’s problem set or a lecture slide. We teach you the step you’re missing, one at a time. It doesn’t do the homework for you; it makes you the person who can.

College Algebra, Intro Stats, and everything under them.

The old gap

Close the gap that’s been following you.

If fractions or algebra never clicked the first time, the path starts at the first real gap, not at the chapter your class happens to be on. Quietly, at your pace, no red ink.

Ten phases, from Number Foundations to Statistics.

Not a student? Nummmbers is built for adults of every kind: parents helping with homework, career-changers, professionals filling gaps, anyone coming back to math after years away. Same math, your world.

What’s here now

The product is live today.

Free opens all 10 phases of Make Math Mine at three lessons a day, with practice problems on every unit and five AI assists to try. Nummmbers Plus adds the AI tutor on every lesson and practice problem.

Take the placement and start your first lesson in a few minutes. No account and no card to begin.

How you'll use it

Three ways in, depending on the day.

One tutor across all three. Each one meets you somewhere different in your week.

01 · Core Path

Start where you are. Move when you're ready.

A path top to bottom: Number Foundations through Pre-Calculus and Statistics. The placement assessment maps where you actually are; the path adapts from there.

  • 10 phases, 59 units, from Number Foundations through Statistics & Probability
  • Lessons explain the why, then walk you through it
Your path
01 · Number Foundations
02 · Fractions & Decimals
03 · Ratios & Proportions
04 · Pre-Algebra

02 · Free Practice

Drill it until the quiz feels like a rerun.

Pick any skill we cover, set the difficulty, and work problems written around things you actually care about. The tutor watches what you miss and shapes the next hint to where you got stuck.

  • Any skill, any difficulty, no daily caps
  • Hints tuned to your specific stumble, not generic explanations
  • Track what's sticking and what isn't

The differentiator

Lessons in the shape of your life.

Most adult math products teach through abstract examples: train problems, sports stats you don't follow, widgets that mean nothing to your life. Make Math Mine builds lessons around the context you actually think about.

If you're taking the course this semester
The math is what the syllabus says next week, taught from the step you are actually missing rather than the chapter the class happens to be on.
If you're a nursing student
The math is dosing, ratios, and the algebra beneath both, taught through cases instead of pulled out of context.
If you're a career-changer filling in the gaps
The math is the algebra, ratios, and probability that show up in every job description, relearned properly, in the order that actually makes them stick.
If you're a parent supporting a kid
The math is what they brought home tonight, explained one step at a time, through what you already know.

A lesson, three ways

Three lives. Three lessons. Same one-step-at-a-time pedagogy.

The math is shaped to the world you actually live in: your class, your kitchen, your team.

For someone at the officePercent change: three quarters of growth
Sales grew 8% in Q1, 12% in Q2, 5% in Q3. What's the year-to-date growth?
01
Compounding ≠ adding. The instinct says 8 + 12 + 5 = 25%. But each quarter's growth stacks on top of the new (bigger) base.
02
Multiply the growth factors: 1.08 × 1.12 × 1.05 = 1.270.
03
That's 27.0% YTD, about 2 points higher than the naive sum. The bigger the percentages, the wider the gap.
Same compounding shows up in interest, inflation, and stacked discounts. Want me to draw the connection?
For someone in the kitchenFractions: scaling a recipe up
Recipe serves 4:  cups flour,  cup milk, 2 tbsp butter. You're cooking for 6. How much of each?
01
Scale factor: 6 ÷ 4 = 1.5. Every ingredient multiplies by that.
02
Flour: 1¾ × 1.5 = 2⅝ cups. Milk: ⅔ × 1.5 = 1 cup exactly. Butter: 2 × 1.5 = 3 tbsp.
03
Notice ⅔ × 1.5 landed on a whole number. That's because 1.5 = 3/2 and the 3s cancel. Useful spot.
The same scaling logic doubles a coffee ratio or adjusts a paint mix. Same math, different surface.
For someone following the seasonProportional reasoning: pace and projection
Through 12 games of a 17-game season, your QB has thrown for 3,210 yards. At that pace, what's his projected season total? Last year's NFL leader threw for 4,725.
01
Yards per game so far: 3,210 ÷ 12 = 267.5.
02
Project across the full season: 267.5 × 17 ≈ 4,548.
03
About 177 yards short of last year's leader, a top-5 season but not the crown.
Pace projection is one ratio scaled up. Same idea as scaling a recipe or projecting next quarter's revenue.

Same concept · Your context

One topic. Five lives.

Percentages: the same concept, taught five different ways. Same math underneath; the surface changes to match the learner.

For a psych major Percentages
Your survey got 340 responses from 1,250 students. What response rate is that, and is it enough to say anything?
For a nursing student Percentages
A patient needs 0.5% saline. The stock bag is 0.9%. What ratio do you dilute?
For a career-changer Percentages
A job offer is 12% above your current $58,000 salary. What's the new salary?
For a parent Percentages
Your kid scored 18 out of 25 on the quiz. What's that as a percent?
For a baker Percentages
The recipe calls for 60% hydration. With 500g of flour, how much water?
Tell us what you do. The lessons take the shape of your world.

Your tutor

A tutor that doesn't sigh.

Adult learners don't need to be talked down to. They need someone who'll work the same problem four different ways without getting tired, who notices where you specifically got tripped up, and who's there at 11pm the night before the exam.

That's what the Make Math Mine tutor is for. The same voice stays with you across Core Path, Free Practice, and every Teach Me This upload, remembering where you've been getting stuck, and shaping the next hint to meet you there.

  • Available anytime
  • Notices where you got stuck
  • Same voice, all three modes

What the math is about

Other apps personalize the order. We personalize the problems.

Fractions through recipes. Rates through road trips. Percents through the sale rack.

Free Practice writes problems around your interests on the spot, checks them for realistic numbers before you see them, and swaps any miss for a new one in one tap.

Why we built it this way →

Built with the people using it

We’re building this with you.

Make Math Mine works today and still gets better every week. That second part is where you come in.

Every problem carries a quiet question underneath it: did we get the setup right?When we didn’t (a price that’s off, a scenario nobody would actually meet), the thumbs under the problem tell us, and we make it better. We read every single note.
