Will this help with my child's 2nd grade math homework?

Yes. StudyPug covers every Iowa Core 2nd grade math topic - word problems, place value, measurement, and more - so your child can find step-by-step help for exactly what their teacher assigned.

How long are the video lessons?

Most video lessons run between 5 and 15 minutes, covering one focused concept at a time. Your child can pause, rewind, and rewatch as many times as needed until the idea clicks.

Is there a state test for 2nd grade math in Iowa?

Iowa uses the ISASP assessment, but it is administered in grades 3 through 11. 2nd grade is not a tested year, so there is no statewide 2nd grade math exam - though local districts may conduct their own assessments.

Can my child use StudyPug on a tablet or phone?

Yes. StudyPug works on tablets, phones, and computers, so your child can practice Iowa 2nd grade math at home, on the go, or anywhere with an internet connection.

Can I try StudyPug before paying?

Yes. StudyPug offers free sample lessons so you can see how it works before committing. All paid plans also come with a 30-day money-back guarantee if it is not the right fit.
