What is Mathigon?
Mathigon is the “Textbook of the Future” for secondary mathematics. The unique content format makes maths more interactive than ever before, and a virtual personal tutor provides real-time feedback.
Unlike videos or conventional textbooks, students have to actively engage at every step – through problem solving, critical thinking, and creativity.
Mathigon is completely free to use, and works on all browsers and mobile devices.
