Practice That Actually Teaches
Learning Through Doing
Upwardly isn't about hooking kids on a game; it's about helping them get comfortable with the work. We provide high-quality practice problems that give students the repetition they need to build confidence. It's about creating small, safe opportunities to make mistakes, learn from them, and truly master the curriculum.

Guided Walkthroughs
Complex problems can feel overwhelming. Our Walkthroughs break down difficult questions into smaller, complementary parts. This isn't just about getting the answer—it's about teaching the process.
- Scaffolding: We break big problems into small, manageable steps.
- Parent Helper: Forgot how to do geometry? These guides help parents refresh their memory to better assist their kids.
- Confidence Builder: Students learn how to approach the problem, not just what the answer is.
- Community Driven: Think a walkthrough could be better? Let us know! Our community is in control.
Step 1: Check the Concept
Show Your Work
As a parent, the biggest missed opportunity is not seeing how your child tried to work a problem. Our drawing canvas captures their thinking so you can see where they fell off.
- Unlimited scratch space—a dedicated area for every problem.
- Works anywhere—great with a mouse, even better on touch screens with a stylus or finger.
- Study comfortably—no desk, paper, or pencils required. Kids can curl up on the couch with a tablet and write their work directly in the app with easy drawing and erasing tools.
- Review later—parents can see the scratch work alongside the final answer in Parent Reporting.
Scaffolded Visuals
Simple graphics break up walls of text and help students focus. Early practice units use more visuals for support, while later units reduce them—proving students have truly mastered the concept.
- Clean graphics keep students focused and reduce overwhelm.
- Early units provide more visual support to build confidence.
- Advanced units use fewer visuals to prove real understanding.
- Instant feedback helps students self-correct along the way.
Concept Mastery
Move beyond memorization to true understanding. Our approach ensures students grasp the underlying concepts, not just the procedures.
- Place value, operations, and number sense foundations.
- Multiple question types test real understanding.
- Drawing area for working through problems visually.
- Progress tracking shows mastery over time.
Visual Learning
Visual representations help students connect abstract math to real-world understanding. Clocks, diagrams, and interactive visuals support every learning style.
- Analog and digital clock practice for telling time.
- Visual diagrams for geometry and measurement.
- Color-coded feedback guides learning.
- Representations that match how students think.
