Why MathKong exists.

MathKong is two things, kept on purpose separate: a free study site for Grades 7, 8 and 9 — and a small hand-drawn card game for math clubs and classrooms. This site is the study half. The card game lives on its own page.

~ the problem ~

Math class moves fast. English doesn't wait for you.

If English isn't your first language — or if the teacher explains it once and moves on — the hardest part of math isn't the math. It's the wall of vocabulary between you and the idea.

By the time you've figured out what "factor" or "coefficient" means, the class is on the next step. You copy down the example and hope it clicks later. Sometimes it doesn't.

This site is a quiet place to catch up. Every topic is written by hand in friendly english, with worked examples, "friend notes," and quizzes you can take at your own pace. Free, no sign-in, no streaks.

~ three rules ~

No exceptions.

Every lesson, every quiz, every card design passes these three checks before it leaves the desk.

01.

Explain it like a human

If a sentence sounds like a textbook, rewrite it. The goal is always: could a friend say this out loud at a lunch table?

02.

Show the worked steps

Every concept gets at least one example with the logic written out. No "left as an exercise for the reader."

03.

Practice should feel light

Quick-check quizzes, a sparkly review-the-page nudge when you get one wrong, and two arcade games for between rounds. Practice that doesn't feel like punishment.

Three grades are live. More on the desk.

Right now Grades 7, 8 and 9 each have a full booklet plus a practice quiz set. The rough plan for the year:

  • Summer 2026 — Grade 10 booklet (quadratics, trig, functions).
  • Fall 2026 — "Challenge" quiz tier with harder test-style questions.
  • Winter 2027 — Student feedback page & teacher resources.
  • Ongoing — more worked examples, Spanish notes, a printed card deck.
