Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. And here’s why: MathHacked was specifically designed for kids who struggle. We tested it on the “hard cases”—kids who were shut down, discouraged, even labeled “learning disabled.” 100% of them succeeded. Not because we found smarter kids, but because we removed what was blocking them.
THE BASICS
What is MathHacked?
Does your child resist math? Fight over homework? Feel like they’re “just not good at it”? MathHacked changes that—starting from day one. It’s a times tables and division program that works differently than anything you’ve tried. No memorization. No worksheets. No sitting still required. Just a natural, discovery-based approach that makes kids feel smart from the very first session. The result? Children don’t just learn their facts—they discover they’re capable. And that changes everything.
Who created MathHacked?
Heather Linchenko created MathHacked after watching her daughter have an emotional breakdown over times tables. As a former “smart kid” who later experienced her own learning trauma in college, Heather understood both sides. She spent 30 years developing a teaching method that actually works for every child—not just the “math kids.” We tested it in public schools with struggling students. 100% success rate. Then in private schools. Then with homeschool families across the country. Same result: it works. Heather previously worked alongside Stephen R. Covey on “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” and has authored multiple books on building stronger family relationships. Her sister Shirley Smith joined the mission in 2018, and together they’re helping families transform math from a battlefield into a bonding experience.
WHO IT’S FOR
Is this for my child?
MathHacked is perfect for:
✓ Kids who say “I hate math” or “I’m just not good at it” ✓ Children who’ve been labeled “slow” or “struggling” ✓ Students with learning differences (ADHD, dyscalculia, developmental delays) ✓ Kids stuck on multiplication despite trying multiple programs ✓ Young learners (ages 5-6) who want to START with confidence ✓ Children who need to work independently (homeschool families) ✓ Parents who experienced math trauma and want something different for their kids
Real story: We had a 14-year-old boy labeled “learning disabled” in school. After MathHacked, he said: “Man, this program is magic! I feel like Einstein right now!”
If your child can count and knows which numbers are bigger or smaller, they’re ready.
What if I’m not good at math myself?
Perfect! You’ll learn alongside your child.
One mom called her husband in tears during a session with her son: “I’m getting it! I’m getting my times tables!” She was an adult who never thought she could.
Here’s the truth: If you struggled with math, it wasn’t because you were “bad at it.” It was because of how you were taught. MathHacked teaches differently, and you’ll finally understand why.
No math knowledge required. Just the ability to push play on a video and follow along.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
How is this different from other programs?
OTHER PROGRAMS: Kids memorize facts through drills, songs, worksheets, apps MATHHACKED: Kids discover patterns and feel smart from Day One
OTHER PROGRAMS: “Practice more. Do more worksheets. Keep drilling.” MATHHACKED: No worksheets. No pencils. No sitting still required.
OTHER PROGRAMS: Screen-based, impersonal MATHHACKED: Knee-to-knee, eye-to-eye connection with your child
OTHER PROGRAMS: Kids are glad (or relieved) when it’s finally over MATHHACKED: Kids are bummed when there are no more decks! (Yes, really.)
OTHER PROGRAMS: Focus on getting the right answer MATHHACKED: Focus on making the child feel smart in the process
One teacher with 22 years of experience said: “In all my years of teaching, I have NEVER seen anything so perfectly constructed. Every teacher I’ve shown this to says, ‘I wish I could have been taught this way.’”

How long does it take?
TYPICAL TIMELINE: 2-3 months (15 minutes a day, 5 days/week)
FASTEST WE’VE SEEN: 3 weeks! (One homeschool mom was shocked.)
MOST COMMON REACTION: “Can we do more? I’m not done yet!”
But here’s what matters more than speed: Kids don’t just learn their facts—they discover they’re SMART. That confidence transforms how they approach all future math.
One pilot program teacher told us: “We had kids lining up behind each other to be next. They came to us during recess and lunch break BEGGING for a turn.”
Kids disappointed when it’s over? That’s when you know something special is happening.
How much time does this take me as a parent?
About 15 minutes a day of “knee-to-knee, eye-to-eye” time with your child.
Is it worth it?
Here’s what one mom said: “This became our favorite part of the day—no more battles, just bonding.”
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: • You start together through the first 7 decks (each must be mastered before moving on) • You watch short training videos that show you exactly what to do • By Deck 8, your child works independently and loves challenging themselves to improve their speed • Once facts are mastered, your child tackles future math lessons WITHOUT YOU
The time you invest now eliminates HOURS of future math struggles.
Think of it as 15 minutes a day now = not standing over them with a broom for the next 10 years. 😉
DOES IT REALLY WORK?
What are parents saying?
“My son said, ‘Man, this program is magic! I feel like Einstein right now!’”
Mom of Danny, age 14 (previously labeled “learning disabled”)
“I called my husband in tears: ‘I’m getting it! I’m getting my times tables!’”
Candace (Mom who learned alongside her son)
“I keep finding my son after bedtime under his covers with a flashlight, working on his flashcards!”
Homeschool mom
“This child WHIZZED through this program in TWO WEEKS alongside 2 others who ‘shouldn’t be learning multiplication’ in 1st and 2nd grade. They all had FUN and were EXCITED to master each level. I can’t believe it.”
The HomeSchool Coach
“Kids were BEGGING for a turn. We had to stop them when the bell rang for class.”
Wendy Creed, teacher with 22 years experience
What about the pilot program you mentioned?
We tested MathHacked in a public school in Canada with 74 students—many of them struggling, discouraged, or labeled as “behind.”
THE RESULTS: • Kids lined up asking for their turn • “Hard cases” and “goof-offs” came asking to participate • The principal (initially skeptical) became so protective of the program she wouldn’t let other schools borrow us • 100% of participating students learned their facts
One boy who “never paid attention” and “rarely came to school”: After 7 sessions, he passed Deck 3 with bright eyes shining and a huge smile. When his friend (known for being good at math) struggled with the same deck, the boy puzzled: “What happened? He has ALWAYS been way ahead of me in math.”
That’s the moment we live for.

COMMON QUESTIONS
My child has tried other programs and failed. Why would this work?
Because the other programs weren’t designed for how children naturally learn.
Traditional programs focus on memorization. MathHacked focuses on discovery and pattern recognition.
Traditional programs push harder when kids struggle. MathHacked removes pressure and lets kids move at their own pace.
Traditional programs make kids feel dumb when they don’t get it fast enough.
MathHacked makes kids feel smart from the very first session.
It’s not about trying harder. It’s about teaching differently.
One grandfather wrote us: “I was one of the dumb kids when it came to math. It took me YEARS to realize I loved to learn and I was a lot smarter than I ever thought I was! I got all choked up when I saw your program this morning!”
The labels were wrong. The teaching method was wrong. Your child isn’t the problem.
Do they need to know addition and subtraction first?
NO! Actually, it’s often BETTER if they don’t.
Here’s why: If they’ve already learned addition through traditional memorization methods, they may have developed “bad habits” in how they think about numbers.
MathHacked starts with multiplication for a reason. It’s actually easier for kids to learn this way, and it prevents the frustration that comes from traditional sequences.
All they need to know: • How to count • Which numbers are bigger/smaller • (Helpful but not required: counting by 5s)
We’ve had 5-year-olds start with MathHacked as their very first math experience. They LOVE it.
What if my child has ADHD, dyscalculia, or other learning differences?
MathHacked was designed for ALL learners—including (and especially) kids with learning differences.
Why it works: • No long sitting required (kids can move, wiggle, even stand) • No worksheets or pencils (removes writing/fine motor struggles) • Short sessions (15 minutes is manageable) • Immediate success (builds confidence fast) • Discovery-based (works with how their brain naturally learns) • No pressure or force (invite, invite, invite!)
We’ve seen incredible success with: • ADHD • Dyscalculia • Developmental delays • Autism spectrum • Processing disorders • Anxiety around math
One teacher told us about a boy with very low math skills and no attention span who rarely came to school. After working with MathHacked, he became a “whiz” at it and couldn’t wait to show his friends.
Can multiple children use the same program?
YES! That’s one of the best parts.
The Premium Family Package ($159) gives you FIVE YEARS of access, making it perfect for multiple children.
The physical card decks are durable and can be used by all your kids. The online training is there whenever you need it for the next child.
One homeschool mom used it with her 1st grader, 2nd grader, AND her “resistant and frustrated” older child—all at the same time. All three succeeded.
