# SolveWise: AI math tutoring that actually teaches

> SolveWise is AI-powered math tutoring for K-12 students that teaches step-by-step reasoning, verifies understanding with quizzes, and tracks mastery.

SolveWise is an AI-powered math tutoring platform for K-12 students, built for parents who want real learning — not just answers. Instead of handing over solutions, SolveWise walks students through every step with explanations of *why* each step works, then verifies understanding with a short quiz after each session.

## What SolveWise does

* **Step-by-step tutoring** — every problem is explained with clear reasoning, not just the final answer
* **Pattern recognition** — students learn to identify problem types, building real mathematical thinking
* **Mastery quizzes** — a short quiz after each session confirms your child understood the material
* **Interactive graphs** — Desmos-powered graphing and GeoGebra 3D geometry visualization
* **Parent dashboard** — real-time mastery scores, independence rates, and quiz results
* **Curriculum alignment** — choose Traditional or Common Core to match your child's classroom

## Who SolveWise is for

SolveWise is designed for parents of K-12 students who need homework help available 24/7. The parent creates and manages the account; students log in with a username and password set by the parent.

## How the teaching method works

SolveWise is built around decades of cognitive science research. Every tutoring session follows this sequence:

1. **Pattern identification** — SolveWise names the problem type before solving it ("This is a rate × time = distance problem")
2. **Step-by-step walkthrough** — each step explains both what to do and why
3. **Answer verification** — the solution is checked by substituting back into the original problem
4. **Mastery quiz** — a short conceptual quiz after the session confirms real understanding

<Note>
  SolveWise is a supplemental learning tool designed to reinforce what your child's teacher teaches — not replace classroom instruction.
