8 Free Apps to Help Your Teen with Math Homework

8 Free Math Apps to Help Parents and Teens with Middle & High School Math Homework
Pin it
​Are you looking for an easy way to help your child get through middle school or high school math homework with a smile and newfound confidence?
 
If you’re a teacher, consider emailing this to your students’ parents, or sending home a link to this post for families to use. 
 
For additional tips, read my last post, Supporting your child through middle school and high school math.
 
In middle school and high school math, homework time can be a tricky rough patch to get through each and every evening.  You want to provide enough adequate support, but if you didn’t study math in college, or use it in on a daily basis in your career, those math memories can become fuzzy. 
 
You might not remember enough secondary math for yourself, let alone enough to help guide your child.
 
You can only understand so much by rereading their notes and textbook chapters.  Luckily, with today’s technology you have access to awesome math learning tools right at your fingertips! (Bonus: these are all free to download!)
Here are some of my favorite Apps to help you help your child:

1.   IXL- Math and English  
This app gives in-depth and interactive explanations for so many concepts! (Over 5,700 including English Language Arts.)  You can master specific math skills by exploring awesome questions.
 
I love this app, because it connects to the Common Core State Standards.  If your child’s teacher organizes the curriculum by standard, all you have to do is go to the correct grade and scroll down to find the standard.

2.   MathPapa  
This app is a must-have if your child is in an algebra course.  It’s basically just a calculator for algebraic equations; it’s perfect if you or child gets stuck on a problem. 
 
It’s simple to use.  All you do is plug the algebraic problem (ex. 5x + 3= 28), and it’ll quickly provide you with step-by-step solutions.  It even gives you a graph of your solutions and solves linear and quadratic equations!

3.   Khan Academy  
I have been a huge fan of Khan Academy for years!  Their tagline is “You can learn anything.”  And it is so true.
 
They have over 10,000 videos and explanations in math, science, and more.  Simply search the math concept you’d like to master.  The concepts are also aligned with the common core.

4.   Photomath  
Stuck on a problem?  Just snap a photo of it with this app!  It can read problems ranging from arithmetic to calculus.  It shows step-by-step solutions and graphs equations.

5.   GeoGebra Graphing Calculator  
If your child is taking Algebra I, Algebra II, High School Geometry, Pre-Calc, or Calculus, you should probably just go ahead and download this now.  GeoGebra Graphing calculator allows you to easily graph functions and equations, and find special points.  Additionally, you can save your work to go back later, and share with friends.

6.   Quick Math  
Need to brush up on your arithmetic?  This addictive and easy-to-use app improves your arithmetic skills through speed and repetition.  Warning: you may not be able to put it down!

7.   HMH FUSE:  Algebra 1  
If your child is in Algebra 1, look no further.  This award-winning app provides you with engaging curriculum all about Algebra 1.
 
It gives every student a personalized learning experience.

8.   Learn Precalculus and Calculus  
This app is perfect for guiding yourself through precalculus and calculus, or if your child seems to be falling behind in class. 
 
It offers quick videos and even an AI coach to guide you through the learning!
 
 
 
Don’t forget to pin the post to save this page for later!  You’ll remember where to go when you need this to get through the next rough patch of math homework.  For more support, check out this post as well:  Support Your Teen with Math

Amazing blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers? I'm hoping to start my own site soon but I'm a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I'm totally overwhelmed .. Any tips? Many thanks! <b><a href="https://mediaonemarketing.com.sg/social-media-marketing-course/">social media courses</a></b>

How I wish phone applications like these were existing especially when I was still a student. I know for a fact that I am kind of bad in terms of Mathematics. There were things I would love to learn. Bit since I was having a hard time understanding the whole term, I give up easily because the process itself is too long that my brain couldn't function it anymore. These phone applications will help the kids to be familiar with mathematics. It's not just about teaching them the right answer. but the process will be taught too, on how it ended up that way. I will download these applications as soon as possible.

Good day! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I'm getting sick and tired of Wordpress because I've had issues with hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

Fascinating blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog shine. Please let me know where you got your theme. Cheers

Hello, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your website in Opera, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, terrific blog!

She looks absolutely fantastic. I think she looks really great with a little extra weight on her face. This is not a slight in any way..she gave birth two days ago and looks incredible. Perfect dress for this.
