What changes for younger learners

TutorMigo adapts to the grade in the student's profile. For kindergarten to grade 5 the whole experience gets simpler and friendlier:

3–5**Choose a Mission** — subject cards, a short *Ask your tutor* box with a **Go** button, and goals like *Explain it*, *Practice*, *Quiz me* and *Check my work*.

Walkthrough: a fractions question in grade 3

3/4 of a pizza − 1/4 of a pizza = ?Grade 3
  1. Same size slices3/4 − 1/4Both fractions are quarters, so we can subtract the slices directly.
  2. Subtract tops3 − 1 = 2 → 2/4Take away the top numbers; the slice size (4) stays the same.
  3. Simplify2/4 = 1/2Two quarters fill exactly half the pizza.
Answer: 1/2 of the pizza is left
Check: 1/2 + 1/4 = 2/4 + 1/4 = 3/4 ✓

  1. Open the Choose a Mission lobby

    Maya is in third grade, so her lobby shows mission cards with big, easy buttons.

  2. Check the grade

    The grade chip at the top shows Grade 3rd. It controls the vocabulary, the size of each step, and the kinds of examples the tutor chooses.

  3. Tap the Math card

    Choose Math. Younger learners can also simply start typing — the tutor recognises math questions automatically.

  4. Ask about something familiar

    Questions about real things — pizza, sweets, toys — make fractions much easier to picture. Type the question and tap Go.

    Try it“If I have 3/4 of a pizza and I eat 1/4 of the pizza, how much pizza is left?”

  5. Read the tutor's friendly explanation

    Short sentences, everyday words, and a question back to the child: how many slices are left? The tutor never rushes to the answer.

  6. Have a go — and simplify

    Maya answers 2/4. The tutor celebrates, then shows that 2/4 is the same amount as 1/2 — the same pizza, a simpler fraction.

    Try it“Is it 2/4?”

  7. Ask for a picture

    Young learners understand fractions best by seeing them. Ask the tutor to show me with a picture.

    Try it“Can you show me with a picture?”

Tips for parents and teachers

Keep learning

By grade

Middle school math (6–8)

Ratios, negative numbers and the first steps of algebra. See how the tutor turns a wrong answer into understanding, and how “Try different approach” explains it a new way.

Math topics

Arithmetic & fractions

Set up an arithmetic session and add fractions with different denominators — finding a common denominator, converting, adding and simplifying, then practising.

Ways to learn

Voice mode: talk to your math tutor

Have a real spoken conversation with your tutor: start live voice, ask out loud, hear the answer, read the transcript, change the voice language, and use the controls.
