How it works

Learn it. Practice it. Launch it.

Every session runs on the same short loop, and every step pays off.

  1. 01

    Learn in clear steps

    Seven steps per lesson: warm up, try, learn, work examples, practice, spot a mistake, and check what stuck.

  2. 02

    Every right answer pays

    Earn Funding and a fuel cell. New, harder, and due questions pay the most, so the best money move is the best learning move.

  3. 03

    Launch, upgrade, go higher

    Answer math questions to fuel your next flight. One cell is enough to launch; earnings buy better rockets and a growing spaceport, with no lesson gates on upgrades.

The Rocket Program

Every right answer builds a rocket.

Take the controls: climb, turn sideways, and build an orbit. Answers earn Funding and fuel; flights buy engines, tanks, and a growing idle spaceport. Short review missions power your rocket while the course guides your learning.

Desmos mastery

The calculator is on the test. We teach you to win with it.

The online ACT puts a Desmos graphing calculator on screen for every question. Every lesson shows the Desmos way beside the algebra: the exact keystrokes, what to click, and when algebra is faster.

  • Solve a system by clicking where two graphs cross
  • Test answer choices in seconds, not minutes
  • Timed Desmos drills in Launch Prep and review
The Desmos way2 lines · 1 click

Click where the lines cross. The point is your answer: x = 3, y = 4.

The method

Built on how learning actually sticks.

Every feature traces back to research on memory, math learning, and attention.

  • 01

    Retrieval, not rereading

    Quick questions after every idea. Pulling an answer from memory beats reading it again.

Every question is original.

Written from scratch for today’s ACT: 45 questions in 50 minutes, four choices, Desmos on screen. Every wrong answer is a real, named mistake, and every explanation shows exactly why it’s tempting.
