Most apps gamify screen time. We gamify good habits.
Kids earn XP by doing real math, then spend it in the XP Shop on items that reward the very things every parent and teacher asks for — careful effort, smart help-seeking, and showing their work. No real money. No loot boxes. And you can switch any of it off.
Earned, never bought
The only currency is XP your student earns by answering math correctly. No real money, no loot boxes, no randomness — ever.
You decide — for each child
Parents and teachers can switch the whole shop off, or any single item, per student. The gamification only exists if it's helping.
It rewards showing your work
The Quill of Reasoning gives bonus XP for genuinely working a problem out — the one thing every parent and teacher asks for.

From the founder
Your subscription goes to a dad.Not a corporation.
I built Upwardly Math to give kids an ad-free space to practice math independently—without needing a parent at the table every night. It empowers them to build confidence, while giving you clear insights into exactly how they’re doing. Press play for the 90-second story, or just read the gist:
- A parent in the trenchesMy own three kids use this app every week. I built it to solve the exact same homework struggles you are facing at home.
- No hovering requiredStudents have built-in Help Walkthroughs on every single question. We handle first-tier support, which means you don’t have to hover.
- Affordable on purposeA whole month of full access costs about the price of a quick bite out.

Math Practice Where the Math Comes First — and Students Actually Want to Show Up
Upwardly Math gives students a reason to keep showing up. A clear path so they always know what’s next. XP and levels that celebrate real growth. Streaks that reward consistency. Motivating—without ever pulling focus from the math.
Here’s what we’re proudest of: we made the habits you actually want genuinely fun to do. Showing their work—the thing every parent and teacher asks for—earns bonus XP with the Quill of Reasoning, even when the answer’s wrong. Careful, accurate streaks pay off the most, so it’s worth slowing down instead of guessing. And when a problem gets hard, the 
Elixir of Logic and Help Walkthroughs offer a little assistance to keep them encouraged and on track—no shame in asking for help.
