Scratch Math!
Math Practice & Room to Work
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Scratch Math is a hands-on learning app built around how students actually solve math problems.
Work through generated problems using a built-in scratch pad—just like working on paper, but without switching apps or losing focus. Practice arithmetic, explore fractions
visually, and build algebra skills through interactive activities.
Designed for repetition, clarity, visual learning, and confidence.
PRACTICE ACTIVITIES
Choose a practice card and begin a focused 10-question round. Every card includes a clear preview of the activity.
- Addition
- Subtraction
- Multiplication
- Long division
- Fraction addition
- Fraction subtraction
- Fraction multiplication
- Decimal practice
- Mixed practice
Decimal Practice combines addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in every round. Choose Easy, Medium, or Hard, enter answers using the appropriate decimal separator,
and open free technique-based hints when needed.
SOLVE THE WAY YOU THINK
- Built-in scratch work directly on each problem
- Fullscreen scratch mode for more working space
- Draw, carry, borrow, and cross out naturally
- Pan, zoom, recenter, and clear your scratch work
- Familiar worksheet-style problem layouts
- Custom keypads for whole numbers, fractions, and decimals
Scratch Math is not simply a calculator. It is a focused digital worksheet made for active practice.
ALGEBRA PLAYGROUND
Build algebra understanding through five interactive activities:
- Balance Equations — keep both sides balanced while solving
- Expression Tiles — group like terms and simplify expressions
- Equation Stepper — choose valid steps and follow the equation
- Function Machine — identify rules and complete input-output tables
- Coordinate Graph — plot points and turn tables into graphs
Algebra activities use generated 10-problem rounds, multiple difficulty levels, visual models, guided explanations, and progress tracking.
VISUAL FRACTION PLAYGROUND
Explore fractions in a separate hands-on area with animated activity cards and visual models.
- 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
Scored fraction activities finish with a clear summary and options to continue practicing or return to the activity hub.
