Will this help with my child's Grade 10 math homework?

Yes. StudyPug covers every strand in Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus 10, so your child can find a lesson or practice problem that matches exactly what their BC class is working on that night.

How long are the video lessons?

Most video lessons run between 5 and 15 minutes. They are broken into short, focused segments so your child can watch one concept at a time and replay any part they need to review before moving on.

Is there a provincial test for Grade 10 math in BC?

Grade 10 is not a Foundation Skills Assessment year in BC - the FSA is administered in Grades 4 and 7. Graduation assessments apply later in secondary, so the focus at Grade 10 is building the skills assessed in those later years.

Can my child use StudyPug on a tablet or phone?

Yes. StudyPug works on tablets, phones, and computers, so your child can watch lessons or do practice problems at home, on the go, or anywhere else they have an internet connection.

Can I try StudyPug before paying?

Yes. StudyPug offers free sample lessons so you can see the content before committing. There is also a 30-day money-back guarantee if you find it is not the right fit for your child.
