Hi everyone! 👋
I’m back with another product update. This time it's about Duolingo Math!
Over the last few months, our Math team has been working on new features designed to give students more support when they get stuck, so they can keep learning instead of giving up or leaving the app to search for answers elsewhere.
And if you’re asking, “...wait, Duolingo teaches math?” Yes, we do! Duolingo Math is already available right inside the Duolingo app.
Our goal with Math isn’t to replace what students are learning in school, or become another worksheet app. We want to give students a way to practice math that feels approachable, bite-sized, and (hopefully) genuinely fun. Just like our other courses!
Duolingo Math can be especially helpful if you’re:
- a parent looking for an easy way to help your child build confidence in math
- a teacher looking for another way to encourage students to practice
- supporting a student who could use extra practice or explanations when they get stuck
❓What’s new (and coming soon…)
Three new Math features are rolling out broadly to learners. Availability may vary a bit as we roll them out in waves:
🧠 Math Coach
When students encounter a new Math topic, their personal Math Coach, Eddy, is there to help! He introduces new concepts, walks through examples, and gives students the opportunity to ask questions along the way.
💡 In-Lesson Support
When a student is working through a lesson and comes across a problem they don’t know how to solve, they can ask for help right there in the exercise. The goal is to provide just enough guidance to help them understand the problem and keep learning—without having to leave the lesson.
➕ Multistep Problems
Sometimes students understand a new concept but aren’t quite ready to tackle problems completely on their own. Multistep Problems guide students through the problem one step at a time, helping them build the skills and confidence they need for independent practice.
A few notes upfront:
- These features have been rolling out gradually over the past few months and are becoming more broadly available. If your student has already tried them, we’d love to hear what you think!
- Availability may vary depending on device and app version. If you think your student should have access but doesn’t, please chime in here and our Community team will try to assist.
- As always, we’ll continue iterating on these features based on what we learn.
Once your student has had a chance to try them, we’d love to hear:
- Which features has your student tried?
- Did they help your student better understand what they were learning?
- Was there anything your student found confusing or frustrating?
- Is there anything you’d change?
- What else would make Duolingo Math more helpful -or more fun- for your student?
As always, thanks for trying new things with us and sharing thoughtful feedback. Hearing about your student’s experience genuinely helps shape what the team builds next. 💚
