Your questions, answered.
The honest stuff: who it’s for, what you get, and what to expect. Don’t see your question? Email [email protected].
What ages is MathHacked for?
MathHacked works beautifully for kids roughly 5–12+, including older learners who never mastered their facts. It’s especially powerful for anxious learners, kids with ADHD, and kids with dyscalculia.
Do I need to be good at math to teach it?
Not at all. The parent training videos walk you through exactly what to say and do. If you can watch a video or read, you can do MathHacked.
How long does it take each day?
About 15 minutes a day. Many families see breakthroughs in the first week.
How long until my child masters their facts?
Most kids work through the deck system over a few months at 15 minutes a day. Some go faster, some slower — and that’s fine. The goal is understanding, not racing.
What's actually in the box?
A complete physical card set with eight decks of varying sizes that correspond to eight steps found in the parent training. Just enough in each step/deck to challenge without overwhelming. Also included: parent training video access, the bonus eBook If Kids Were Cookies, and lifetime access to the deck system itself. One purchase, one family — covers all your kids.
Is this a curriculum or a supplement?
MathHacked is a supplement focused specifically on times tables and division facts — the part of elementary math that derails the most kids. It pairs with any curriculum you’re already using.
Why cards instead of an app?
Because the magic happens in the conversation between you and your child. Screens isolate; cards connect. Kids who associate math with a parent’s warm attention build a very different relationship with the subject.
Do I need to sit with my child the whole time?
Yes — at first. The parent-guided sessions are where the patterns click and confidence is built. Later, many kids start asking to practice on their own too. See the full 8-step journey for what that progression looks like.
What if my child has math anxiety or has “failed” at math before?
Those are the kids MathHacked was built for. By replacing drills with patterns and associations, kids who’ve struggled often experience their first “I can!” moment within days — and that single moment changes the whole story.
What if it doesn’t work for my child?
You’re covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee — no hoops, no hard feelings. Email us and we’ll make it right.
Can I use it with more than one child?
Yes. One purchase covers your whole family. Run the deck with one child while another watches — siblings end up learning together. Additional Speed Decks (Deck 8) can be purchased separately if desired. Kids prize this deck for showing their advancing mastery off to friends, parents and grandparents.
