Help people get better at maths by improving the work they do themselves.

Why Roughwork exists

Most maths tools start with a problem and produce an answer. Learning begins somewhere else: in the steps a person tries, the shortcuts they take, the confusion they hit, and the correction they make.

Roughwork reads that working. It finds where it broke, helps you fix it yourself, and turns the mistake into practice, so the same slip stops coming back.

An answer tells you whether you were right. Your working tells you why not. Roughwork treats it as the most valuable thing on the page.

It points at the step and asks a question. The fix is yours, because that's the part that sticks.

No red alarms, no 'careless', no shame. A slip is a signal for what to practise next.

A skill only moves when your work still holds after a gap. No points, no inflated praise.

Roughwork reads your working to help you, and only for that.
