The idea came from watching my own kids (8 & 10) lose interest in generic worksheets but stay focused when the problems were about something they cared about — soccer, dinosaurs, space, etc.
How it works: – Choose grade level – Choose an interest/theme – Instantly generate printable math word problems around that theme (PDF format)
It’s not meant to replace full curriculum, but rather to get reluctant kids to practice math without the usual groans.
Stack: Angular (frontend), .NET 8 (backend)
Right now it’s free to try: https://app.math4fun.io
Would love feedback on: – Other features that would make it worth paying for (tracking, adaptive difficulty, editable problems) – Ways to expand into digital interactive mode without losing the printable option – Any pitfalls to watch for in marketing to both parents and schools
Happy to answer any questions about the build, tech stack, or approach.
