How to Use MathPath AI™

Smart Start — find your starting point

Not sure where to begin? Tap the ✦ Smart Start link above the subject grid on your home screen. Smart Start gives you a short Test Ready quiz across all 27 lessons and recommends the best lesson to start from based on where you show confidence and where you struggle. Takes about 10–15 minutes and explains exactly how the recommendation was made.

Subject Assessment — check a whole subject

Tap the Subject Assessment card on your home screen to take a subject assessment — a broad quiz that samples every lesson in a subject to find the concepts you're weakest in. Pick any of the four subjects (about 25–36 questions each); it ends with a study plan pointing you to the exact concepts to work on next. Every concept it tests counts toward your Skills Check proficiency, so you can retake it anytime to keep building your standing.

Skills Check — where do you stand?

Tap the “Skills Check” card on your home screen for an honest, up-to-date read of your standing. It's built only from questions you've been tested on — lesson quizzes, assessments, and teacher tests; open-book practice doesn't count, it's for learning. For each subject it shows how many concepts you're proficient on and how many have been assessed, with a bar where green means proficient, amber means assessed but not there yet, and empty means not yet tested. Tap a subject to see its lessons, then a lesson to see each concept — your accuracy and whether it's climbing. A concept counts as proficient once you've gotten it right at least 3 times and are above 75%; a subject stays “Needs more data” until there's enough to judge. Use “Browse all concepts” to see your standing on every concept and take a quick check on any of them.

AI Tutor

Your AI Tutor is available inside every lesson. Tap the AI Tutor tab in the navigation bar, or tap the Ask the AI Tutor button at the bottom of any lesson. Tap a suggestion bubble to get started, or type your own question.

Help Assistant

Need help finding your way around the app? Use the Ask the Help Assistant box at the top of this Help page to ask how-to questions like How do I take a quiz or How do I see my progress. It answers using this help guide and points you to the right button or tab. For help with an actual math problem, use the AI Tutor inside any lesson instead.

Browse topics

From your home screen, choose a subject area (Basic Math, Algebra, Geometry, or Data Analysis & Functions). Each subject area contains focused lessons. Tap any lesson to begin.

Flashcards

On your home screen, tap one of the four flashcard buttons (Addition, Multiplication, Perfect Squares, or Square Roots) to drill math facts. These core skills come up everywhere in math.

Study Plan

When your teacher assigns lessons, they appear on your home screen in the Study Plan section. Assigned lessons show a purple badge. Work through them in any order.

Assigned Tests

When a teacher or tutor assigns you a test, it appears in the Assigned Tests section on your home screen with the question count and any due date. Tap Start Test, answer every question (you can move back and forth before submitting), then submit to see your score. You get one attempt unless your teacher allows a retake. Some tests show explanations after you submit; if a diagram was hidden during the test, it's revealed in your review so you can see what the problem looked like.

Join a Class

On your home screen, use the Join a Class field to enroll in your teacher's class. Your teacher provides the class code. Once enrolled, you'll see class assignments and your teacher can track your progress.

Connect with a Tutor

On your home screen, use the Connect with a Tutor field to link your account to a private tutor. Your tutor provides their 7-character connection code. Once connected, your tutor can assign lessons and view your quiz progress.

Lesson tab

Inside a lesson, the Lesson tab shows structured content, worked examples, key formulas, glossary terms, and diagrams for that topic. Read through it before taking a quiz.

Quiz tab

Tap the Quiz tab to test yourself. Use the difficulty selector to choose Foundational, Test Ready, or Challenge. Your score is saved automatically.

Practice tab

Tap the Practice tab for practice problems on the current lesson. Each problem includes a step-by-step solution you can reveal. New problem sets are generated each time so you always have fresh material to work through. Use the difficulty selector to choose Mixed, Foundational, Test Ready, or Challenge — Mixed gives you a spread of all three levels and starts you on the easier ones, so you can work up. Practice is never scored and never counts toward your progress, so pick whatever level helps you learn.

Glossary

Tap Glossary in the top bar to look up key math terms for the current lesson. The button pulses red until you pass the glossary test, then turns green. The glossary shows terms specific to the lesson you are working on.

Formula sheets

Tap Formulas in the top bar to open the reference sheets in a pop-out window — the official GED® and HiSET® formula sheets, plus a supplemental list of formulas to know from memory. Keep it handy during lessons and quizzes.

Quiz history

Tap the clock icon in the bottom-right corner to review all past quiz scores, see which questions you got right or wrong, and filter by lesson.

Feedback button

Tap the feedback button (bottom-right corner of any screen) to report a bug, flag confusing content, or submit a suggestion.

Your Account panel

Tap "Your Account" in the top-right corner to edit your profile, change your email, change your password, or manage your account (reset progress or delete account). Links to Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and Help are at the bottom of the panel.

Math Concept Reference

Tap the "Math Concept Reference A→Z" button at the top of this page, or open your Account panel and tap "Math Concept Reference", to browse an alphabetical index of 169 math concepts — each one linked directly to the lesson that covers it. Type any concept name or topic to filter the list instantly.
