Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Scratch Math is a hands-on learning app built around how students solve math problems.
Work through generated problems with a built-in scratch pad, explore fractions visually, and build algebra skills through interactive activities. Practice at your own pace with clear layouts, guided explanations, and room to work things out.
Now available in seven languages: English, Spanish, French, Thai, Arabic, Ukrainian, and Farsi (Persian).
PRACTICE ACTIVITIES
Choose a practice card and begin a focused 10-question round:
- Addition
- Subtraction
- Multiplication
- Long division
- Fraction addition
- Fraction subtraction
- Fraction multiplication
- Decimal Practice
- Mixed whole-number practice
Decimal Practice combines addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in every round. Choose Easy, Medium, or Hard, use the appropriate decimal separator, and open free hints for the current operation.
SOLVE THE WAY YOU THINK
- Write, carry, borrow, and cross out on the problem
- Open fullscreen scratch mode for more working space
- Pan, zoom, recenter, and clear your scratch work
- Use familiar worksheet-style problem layouts
- Enter answers with custom whole-number, fraction, and decimal keypads
Scratch Math is a digital worksheet for active practice, with space to work through each question step by step.
ALGEBRA PLAYGROUND
Build understanding through five interactive activities:
- Balance Equations — keep both sides equal while solving for x
- Expression Tiles — group like terms and simplify expressions
- Equation Stepper — choose valid moves and follow the equation
- Function Machine — identify rules and complete input-output tables
- Coordinate Graph — plot points and turn tables into graphs
Algebra activities offer generated 10-problem rounds, difficulty choices, visual models, guided explanations, saved progress, and activity badges.
VISUAL FRACTION PLAYGROUND
Explore six hands-on activities:
- Explore Fractions — connect fractions, decimals, and percentages
- Fraction Bars — compare values and discover equivalents
- Build Fraction — create the requested fraction
- Fraction Detective — identify fractions shown by visual models
- Equivalent Fractions — find values representing the same amount
- Fraction Compare — choose less than, equal to, or greater than
Explore Fractions and Fraction Bars support free exploration. The four scored activities offer 10-question rounds with feedback, summaries, badges, and replay.

English — What’s New in 5.2.0
- Added Persian (Farsi) and Ukrainian, bringing Scratch Math to seven languages.
- Added a scratch pad eraser for your finger or stylus. Watch the eraser follow your touch as red ink puffs away like dust.
- Fixed an issue where the name field could be hidden by the keyboard when creating a learner profile, so you can see what you’re typing.
