Student math guide

Choose a problem type and copy its example into the calculator. These are calculation tools, not a complete curriculum or automatic proof checker. Grade bands are approximate and vary by curriculum.

Use comma-separated numbers for formula commands and semicolons where shown. All examples work offline except live currency conversions. Equations use one unknown unless the system command is used.

Arithmetic word problems

Paste a short English question with explicit amounts. Supported patterns include combining quantities, taking away, equal groups and equal sharing. The result shows the interpreted equation so you can check it.

Maya has 12 red beads and 3 blue beads. How many beads does Maya have in total?

Number words zero through twenty and comma-grouped amounts are supported. Multi-step stories, irrelevant quantities, comparisons and complex wording may need you to enter the equation. This is a bounded pattern parser, not unrestricted language understanding.

Current limits

No automatic geometry proofs, diagram or clock-face recognition, unrestricted word-problem solving, symbolic trigonometric identities, general limits, general symbolic calculus, normal-distribution inference, or arbitrary nonlinear systems. Polynomial roots are approximate; close roots can need higher precision. Degree 4-8 equations list real roots only. Rational-equation complex roots are not listed. Repeated roots appear once, and denominator exclusions remain in force.

For the example x^3-4x^2+6x-24=0, factoring gives (x-4)(x^2+6)=0: x=4 and x=+/-sqrt(6)i.
