MathoKido for Schools · More time for the children who need it

What Kido takes on

The work that eats evenings, not the work that needs a teacher.

MathoKido isn't trying to do a teacher's job. It takes on the parts that swallow hours without needing a teacher's judgement, so those hours go where that judgement is worth something.

Hours back

Setting, marking and chasing

Setting. Choose a strand and topic, and Kido drafts the set from a curriculum-aligned bank. Mix as many topics as you like for a full revision paper, then shuffle so the questions interleave instead of arriving in blocks. Kido keeps off questions this class has already had, and swaps in a fresh version of any repeat.

Marking. Done as the child works, including the written method and not only the final number.

Chasing. Who's handed it in, who's mid-way, who hasn't opened it. No collecting, no reminding, no wondering.

Attention, aimed

Who actually needs you

A tick and a cross say almost nothing about who to sit with tomorrow. MathoKido shows the effort behind the result.

How long a child took against the rest of the class. Whether they did it in one sitting or stopped and came back three times. Who opened it on Monday and hasn't been back since.

A child taking three times as long as the rest of the class isn't being lazy. They are struggling, and it is usually the child who would never put their hand up.

Why the insight can be trusted

Kido checks the working, not only the answer.

A child can reach a wrong answer for a dozen reasons, and a right answer can hide a shaky method. So children show their working by hand on the canvas, and Kido reads what they've actually written and responds to the step they took.

This is what makes the reporting worth reading. A lucky guess has nowhere to hide, and a misconception is caught at the step where it happened rather than averaged away into a score.

The garden bed is 5 m by 3 m. What is its perimeter?

5 × 3 = 15

Kido I can see you've multiplied the two sides. That gives us the space inside the garden. Perimeter is the walk all the way around it. Shall we trace the edges together?

No red cross, and no “wrong”. The child fixes the step rather than starting again.

What marking can't tell you

Knowing they got it wrong is not the same as knowing why.

Every question carries an explanation for each wrong option, written when the question was authored. So when a class goes wrong the same way, MathoKido names the misconception in plain English. It stays private to the teacher.

The misconception

They subtracted the denominators too (14 − 14 → 28). The denominator stays 14; only the numerators subtract: 9 − 4 = 5, so 5/14.

Eleven children made the same mistake for the same reason. That is ten minutes at the board on Monday, instead of eleven separate conversations there was never time for.

Where it sits

Built to complement your school's maths ecosystem, not to replace it.

Every school already has tools, a scope and sequence, and a way of doing things that works. MathoKido is designed to fit into that at the point where homework and practice happen, and to hand what it learns back to the classroom.

On-syllabus by design

Questions are tagged to strand, topic and content description, so practice reinforces what your teachers are already planning from rather than pulling against it.

The teacher stays in charge

Kido drafts; the teacher approves, edits, reorders or throws it out. Nothing reaches a child that a teacher hasn't sent.

Home and school, joined up

The same tutor a family uses at home is the one doing the school's homework, so effort at home shows up in the classroom instead of running alongside it.

🤝

Your guidance shapes it. We would warmly welcome direction from your teachers on where MathoKido best fits alongside what the school already uses, and we will shape it around that.

Where we drew the lines

What it will never do matters as much as what it does.

A tool in a classroom shapes how children feel about maths. These decisions were made early, and we don't intend to move them.

MathoKido never…

✕Gives a child the answer. When they are stuck it reveals one step at a time, never the answer itself.
✕Says “wrong”. It says what it noticed, and asks the next question.
✕Ranks children by ability, or shows any child how they compare with a classmate.
✕Shows struggle data to students or parents. Misconception insights are for the teacher only.
✕Sells or shares student data. There is no advertising in MathoKido.

MathoKido always…

✓Asks to see the working, and responds to the method rather than only the final number.
✓Remembers. Every question a child has answered shapes what they're asked next.
✓Leaves the teacher in charge of what gets set, and what gets changed.
✓Keeps parents informed about their own child, and only their own child.
✓Stays on maths. No open internet, no messaging between students, no social features.

Australian Curriculum

Content-description level

Written to the curriculum your teachers already plan from.

Every question is tagged to a strand, a topic and a content description, with a difficulty level and an item style, so a set can be built for where a class actually is and your term planning does not have to bend around the software. Topics are described in plain English, so a child, and a parent, can understand what they are choosing.

Getting started

Nothing to install, and no rollout committee.

A teacher can be setting homework in the time it takes to make a coffee.

We add your school

You tell us which staff email addresses may create teacher accounts. Nobody else can. A teacher account exists only if the school put that address on the list.

Teachers make a class

Each class gets a short join code. Students enter it and the teacher approves them, so a roster can't fill with children who copied the code from the next classroom.

Set the first homework

Pick a topic, approve Kido's draft, choose a due date. Required work lands in the child's list; optional work waits for the ones who want more.

Questions schools ask

The honest answers.

Are you asking us to replace what we already use?

No. MathoKido is designed to complement the tools and teaching your school already has. It covers homework, practice and the diagnosis that follows. We would rather fit around your scope and sequence than ask you to work around ours.

How much of a teacher's time does this actually save?

It depends on how much marking and chasing a teacher does today, so we would rather not invent a figure. What we can say precisely is what disappears: building the set by hand, marking routine homework, working out who has not done it, and reading 22 sets of answers to find the pattern. A free trial with one class will give you a real number.

What happens to student data?

It stays with the school and the family. We don't sell it, share it, or advertise in the app. A teacher sees the students in their own classes and nobody else's. Parents see their own child. Misconception insights are never visible to students or parents.

Can a student just get the answer out of the AI?

No. Kido is built to refuse. When a child is stuck it reveals one step at a time, never the answer itself. And because it asks to see the working, an answer that appears from nowhere does not count as a solve.

What does it cost a school?

Pricing after the trial depends on year levels and class numbers. Get in touch and we will work it out with you. Families using MathoKido at home subscribe directly.

Start with one class, for one term.

A short, no-obligation free trial with a class or a small group of families, at whatever time suits the school. At the end of it you will have more than an opinion. You will have the data on what that class found hard, and a teacher who can tell you whether it gave them their evenings back.
