Zearn Math
What it is
Zearn Math is a web-based learning platform for students in kindergarten through grade 8, used alongside teacher-led instruction. It provides more than 1,000 digital lessons arranged in Missions covering major K–8 math concepts. Lessons combine fluency activities, guided concept instruction, visual models, handwritten problem solving, adaptive support and mastery checks, with gamified practice listed as well. Teachers can view progress in real time and use reports to identify where students need support, while parent reporting is also available. Zearn offers adaptive learning and guided lessons but no offline access. Teachers and individual classrooms can use the free plan for up to 35 students, one teacher and one classroom. School Accounts can integrate with Clever for roster management and login. Zearn says it does not sell student information, use it for advertising or use personally identifiable information to train AI models. The platform is produced by a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
