Faqs
Materact is a maths platform for IGCSE & A-Level that improves independent practice by analysing students’ full working and giving students instant, granular exam-style feedback on their working — and gives teachers clear visibility into progress and misconceptions.
It makes independent practice actually teach. Instead of “right/wrong”, students get feedback on where their method broke and what to fix — and teachers can see patterns across a class without collecting books.
Teach the topic → assign aligned practice in Materact → students complete it → you review the dashboard to spot misconceptions and decide what to reteach or who needs intervention.
Reduce. Assigning is quick, marking is automated, and the insights are already organised — no manual marking, no spreadsheet chasing, no guesswork on who’s struggling.
A clear view of completion and performance by topic, where errors are clustering, and which students need support or stretch — with the ability to open the students working, or see their interactions with the AI tutor when you need detail.
Yes. Practice is organised by curriculum topics across IGCSE/A-Level awarding bodies, so what students do independently maps to what you teach and what they’re assessed on.
Yes. It marks against mark-scheme criteria, so students learn what earns method marks and stop dropping marks for missing steps or unclear working.
Yes. Students can complete full practice papers, and Materact returns mark-scheme-aligned feedback quickly — which makes past-paper practice scalable across classes.
The tutor is built for learning: guided prompts, hints, and step checks (not just answers). And teachers get visibility into support usage, so expectations can be set and enforced.
Materact’s AI isn’t 100% perfect — no AI is — but it’s not a generic chatbot either. It’s tuned for the curricula we support and for exam-style marking, and we continuously stress-test it on real exam-style questions, where it consistently outperforms general-purpose AI models in maths education.
Best for students: tablet + stylus. It also works on laptops (trackpad/mouse/drawing pad), and students can submit handwritten paper work via photo upload. Teachers access from their laptops or desktops.
We offer free trial periods so you can test Materact properly before making a decision. After that, pricing is per-student licensing, scaled to rollout size (year groups/classes). We keep it simple and recommend the minimum licences that match your intended use.

Onboarding resources for staff and students (short guides/videos) plus support during rollout and ongoing use — so adoption sticks and any issues get resolved fast.
You practise maths the way you’re assessed: you solve questions with your own working, and Materact gives you feedback on the steps – what was right, what went wrong, and what to fix next.
Most platforms just tell you if the final answer is right or wrong. Materact helps you understand why — what idea you missed, which step went off, and what to change next. So instead of just repeating the same methods over and over, you actually learn what’s going on.
As you practise, Materact builds a picture of your strengths, weak spots, and recurring misconceptions. It then recommends what to practise next so you stop wasting time revising what you already know.
Yes — Materact is organised by curriculum topics for IGCSE and A-Level Maths across different exam boards/awarding bodies, so you can practise exactly what you’re doing in class and build momentum week by week.
Yes. You can practise exam-style questions or full practice papers — Materact marks them against mark-scheme criteria and returns feedback on a whole paper in under a minute.
Most students feel it after a few sessions because the feedback is immediate and specific to their working. The biggest gains come from doing a little consistently over time.
No — it’s designed for guided help, not shortcuts. The goal is that you can solve any question confidently on your own.
Yes — it can stretch you with harder questions, and it marks your work against mark-scheme criteria so you learn exactly what to show to pick up every mark (and avoid the small slips that cost top grades).
This is where we outperform general AI models. Materact isn’t a generic AI trying to do everything — it’s trained for your maths curriculum and optimised for exam-style marking. We run ongoing stress tests to keep it brutally accurate on the topics and question types you actually do in school. It’s not 100% perfect (no AI is), but it’s built to be highly reliable for maths practice and feedback.
Materact is built for student learning. Your data is used to provide feedback and track progress — not for advertising.
You get full access for 7 days, so you can try it properly and decide if it’s worth it.
Best on a tablet + stylus. But you can also use a laptop (trackpad/mouse/drawing pad), or solve on paper and upload your work with Photo Upload. You can use Materact on web, iPad, and Android (download via the App Store / Google Play).
