Explain tonight's homework, step by step

Photograph the question and get a plan for talking it through with your child: the steps to take, the questions to ask, what to say when they get stuck.

Fill the frame with one question, then hold still.

Any subject, any year of school. The photo is read once and not kept; the explanation, with any diagram cut from it, is kept for 30 days so you can share it, and you can delete it any time.

What you get

A plan for the conversation, not just the answer

Every explanation comes back in the same four parts. Here is what they look like for a real question from the first year of high school.

Algebra, Exercise 4C

8. A rectangle has length (x + 3) cm and width 4 cm. Its area is 36 cm². Find x.

Show your working:

The photo, as the parent takes it. Read in about four seconds.

  1. What it is practising

    Finding an unknown length in a rectangle using area and simple algebra.

  2. One idea per step, carried by one question

    Undo the multiplying firstIf 4 times something is 36, what is that something? x + 3 = 9

  3. The answer, folded away

    x = 6, shown only when you open it, so you can check without handing it over.

  4. Three to try next

    Length (x + 2) and width 3 for an area of 21, then (x + 5) by 2 for 22, then (x + 4) by 5 for 65. Same skill, a little harder each time, answers folded.

How it works

Thirty seconds from stuck to started

1

Photograph one question

Phone camera is fine. Crop to the question and leave out names. You can type it instead, or paste a screenshot.

2

It reads the question and plans

In a few seconds it works out the level and the skill being practised, then writes the explanation the way a teacher in your country would, in the words your school uses.

3

Talk it through together

Follow the steps, ask the questions, let your child do the thinking. Check the answer at the end, then try the three practice questions.

Questions

Before you hand over the phone

The things parents ask us most, answered plainly.

Does it just give the answer?
No. The explanation is written for you, the parent, as a sequence of things to do and questions to ask. The answer is shown separately, folded away, so you can check your child's work without handing it over.
Which subjects, levels and countries does it cover?
Maths is the strongest, and English, science and general homework work well too. It covers every year of school, from the first to the last, and works out the level from the question itself. It also writes for your country's school system, worked out from where you are connecting from, so the stage is named the way your school names it (Year 7, Grade 7, Reception) and the methods and words are the ones your child hears in class.
Can I photograph a whole worksheet?
If the sheet practises one skill, such as a column of sums or a page of fill-the-gaps, yes: it explains the skill once and gives every answer. If the sheet mixes unrelated questions, it answers the first one and asks you to crop to the others.
What if it reads the question wrong?
The question is always shown back to you, transcribed, at the top of the explanation. If it does not match the page, retake the photo in better light or type the question in instead. Do not trust an explanation of the wrong question.
Is it always right?
Usually, but not always. Treat the answer and the practice answers as a second opinion and check anything that looks off, especially arithmetic in the practice questions.
What happens to the photo?
It is sent once to the AI model that reads it and is not kept. If the question has a diagram, only that diagram is cut out and kept with the explanation so the share link can show it. The question text, the explanation and any diagram are kept for 30 days, and you can delete them earlier from the page.
Do I need an account?
No. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to install. Your recent explanations are remembered on this browser only, through an anonymous cookie, and you can clear them at any time.
Is it free?
Yes. There is a daily limit per browser so that it stays free for everyone.
