After payment

The intake interview.

After you pay the $69 DCAR fee, the intake interview begins. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes. The questions are different for every family. Kmath asks only what matters for your child's situation.

You will be asked about things like: when the struggles started, how your child handles homework, whether there is a gap between how they do at home versus on tests, what you have already tried, and how much time your family has each week. If your child has an IEP, you will tell us the type.

These answers shape the program before the first lesson is built. They are not a formality. They are the reason two children in the same grade with the same gap score get different programs.

How the process starts

You go to the Get Started page and fill in your name, your child's name, and your email. You submit. Kmath sends you a smart link. You click the link, pay $69, and then the intake interview begins. Payment unlocks the interview and the assessment. The engines that run them cost money to operate and only run for families who have paid.

$69 one time

The DCAR assessment.

Your child answers 21 questions. The questions are targeted. They are not a random math test. They are designed to find the specific skill that broke, the grade it came from, and every skill above it that has been stuck because of it.

The assessment does not tell your child if they got something right or wrong. There is no score shown during the test. Your child just answers. The analysis happens behind the scenes.

Most children finish in 20 to 30 minutes. There is no time limit. Your child can pause and come back if needed.

🚫
No right or wrong shown

Your child answers. No feedback during the test. This keeps the results clean.

🎯
21 targeted questions

Not a general math test. Each question is placed to find the specific break in understanding.

20 to 30 minutes

No time limit. Your child works at their own pace. One sitting or multiple if needed.

📄
Reports in 24 hours

Both full reports and the 52-week roadmap delivered within 24 hours of completion.

Within 24 hours

Two reports. One 52-week plan.

Your family receives two full reports. They contain the same findings. The language is different because the reader is different.

Clinical Report
For teachers and specialists

Professional language. Names the confirmed gap by skill and grade level. Maps the prerequisite chain. Shows what the school should know. You can bring this to a parent-teacher conference, an IEP meeting, or hand it to a school counselor.

Parent-Friendly Report
For your family

Same findings, plain language. No jargon. Any adult in your household can read it and understand what your child needs. Written in your family's language.

Both reports are stored in your family portal permanently. Every time your child takes a reassessment, both reports update. You can compare the report from day one to the most recent one and see exactly what changed.

Also included

A 52-week roadmap. Week by week. Built from your child's exact results. Not a template. The first week of lessons is ready to begin as soon as you register.

Every week

The weekly rhythm.

Kmath runs Monday through Saturday. Each day has a purpose. Here is what a standard week looks like.

Mon
New lesson
Your child works through the week's lesson packet on paper.
Tue
Check-in
10 questions. 10 to 15 minutes. Done on any phone or tablet.
Wed
Practice
Continued work on the lesson. On-demand explanations available.
Thu
Check-in
Second check-in of the week. Progress tracked.
Fri
Preview lesson
Your child begins what their teacher will cover Monday. Familiarity before class.
Sat
Preview lesson
Second preview day. Your child walks into Monday already knowing it.
Why Friday and Saturday matter

Most programs fix yesterday. Kmath also prepares your child for next week. When your child walks into class on Monday already knowing what the teacher is about to teach, something changes. They raise their hand. They get it right. That is the moment that rebuilds confidence.

Every fourth week, the Thursday check-in is replaced with a full 21-question DCAR reassessment. No extra cost. No extra session. The plan updates automatically based on what your child shows.

5
2 to 3 times per week

The check-ins.

A check-in is a short session your child completes on any phone, tablet, or computer. About 10 questions. About 10 to 15 minutes. No printer needed.

The check-in tracks how your child is doing with the current skill. It is not a test. There are no grades. It tells the system what your child understood, what needs more work, and whether anything new has surfaced.

After every check-in

You receive a short report about 10 to 15 minutes after your child finishes. Plain language. In your language.

The report tells you whether gaps are closing, staying the same, or if something new has appeared.

Family members can watch check-ins live from the portal. The primary parent can create a co-parent or family member account so other adults in your household can follow along.

The plan adjusts automatically based on what the check-ins show. No action needed from you.

6
Every four weeks

The monthly reassessment.

Every fourth week, a full 21-question DCAR runs again. It replaces that week's regular check-in. Same format. Same reports. No extra payment. No extra session.

Both reports update. The roadmap updates. Gaps that closed are confirmed. New gaps that appeared are added to the plan. Your portal stores every reassessment your child has ever taken so you can see the full picture of how far they have come.

What this means for your family

The first DCAR cost $69 and told you where the gap was. Every four weeks, that same assessment runs again as part of your subscription. The system keeps finding, keeps fixing, keeps updating. You never have to wonder if your child is making progress. The data tells you.

Your role

What you actually have to do.

Kmath is not a program that requires you to be a teacher. Here is exactly what is expected of you each week.

Print the weekly lesson package

The package arrives in your email and portal every week. You print it. Your child works on paper. If you do not have a printer, most libraries and office stores offer printing.

Read the parent guide (5 to 10 minutes)

Every lesson comes with a parent guide in your language. It tells you what your child is working on this week, what words to use, and what questions to ask. You do not need to know the math. The guide gives you what you need to be part of the conversation.

Make sure your child does the check-ins

Your child completes 2 to 3 check-ins per week on their own. Phone, tablet, or computer. About 10 to 15 minutes each. Your job is to make sure it happens, not to sit through every moment of it.

Read the check-in report when it arrives

You get a short report after each check-in. Plain language. In your language. It tells you how your child did and what the plan does next. Two minutes to read.

Do what only a parent can do

Kmath provides the words, the structure, the plan, and the tools. But there is one thing the system cannot do. It cannot sit with your child when they are frustrated. It cannot notice when something is wrong before the data shows it. It cannot celebrate the moment your child gets something right and mean it the way you mean it. That part is yours. The system handles the instruction. You handle the relationship. Both matter.

What Actually Happens

Three things happen every single week. At the same time.

Kmath does not spend months fixing gaps before moving to school work. Gap repair, school alignment, and advancement happen in the same lesson, the same week, every week.

1
Gap repair

The lesson addresses the gap your child has, plus the prerequisite skill it depends on. These are built into the lesson as atoms combined specifically for your child. Your child is never made to feel like they are doing work below their grade, because the lesson connects those skills directly to what they are doing in school right now.

2
School alignment

What your child is currently studying in school is part of the same lesson. The gap atom and the grade-level atom are combined. Your child works on what their class is covering right now. The prerequisite gap is addressed inside the same lesson, underneath the current topic. That is the difference between Kmath and a program that pulls children back to low-grade work.

3
Advancement: every Friday and Saturday

Friday and Saturday preview lessons give your child next week's content before their class gets there. This is advancement. It happens every week from day one. Not after the gaps are fixed. Not after months of remediation. Every week, alongside everything else.

Kmath does not promise specific outcomes on a specific timeline. Every child has a different starting point, different gaps, and different depth. New gaps surface as old ones close. The program continues to find, fix, and advance as long as your child is enrolled. That is why the monthly reassessment never stops.
