The guides on Mathumo Academy are written by the Mathumo team for parents of children aged 4 to 8. Each one goes through the same steps before it is published.

How a guide is made

1. Sources first. Each guide starts from sources a reader can check: published standards (such as the Common Core State Standards and the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework), government and research guidance on early math, and peer-reviewed studies. They are listed at the end of every guide.
2. Drafting with AI assistance. The first draft is written with the help of an AI model, from those sources only, following our writing rules.
3. An independent check. A separate review that did not write the draft checks every claim against its source and removes anything the sources do not support.
4. Approval. A person on the Mathumo team reads and approves the guide before it goes live.

What we don't do

• We don't give medical, diagnostic or therapy advice. If you are worried about your child, talk to their teacher or doctor.
• We don't take payment for links or mentions, and the guides contain no ads.
• When a guide mentions the Mathumo app or our free games, it says so plainly.
