Interactive tools for learning and teaching. Free, and students need no account.

Maths

Grades 1–10

Numbers and arithmetic · Algebra

Pick a grade and solve problems in numbers, arithmetic and algebra. They are new every time, and nothing about you is stored.

Class game

The whole class solves together

The teacher sets the problems and shows a code on the board. Everyone solves on their own device, and points reward a good method, not just speed.

MATHEMATICS · INTERACTIVE LAB

The Trigonometry Observatory

Turn an angle into triangles, waves and measurements. Explore nine connected instruments, with separate journeys for first encounters and deeper study.

Open the observatory

Economics

Simulations and games

Kaupvík

Economics in one fjord town. Eight places where the models open up: the market square, the ice-cream stall, the household, the banks and the islands. Predict, choose and watch the market move.

The square becomes the graph: each balloon is a buyer and each pillar one cone.
