Will this help with my child's 5th grade math homework?

Yes. StudyPug covers every Iowa Core 5th grade math topic, including fractions, decimals, volume, and the coordinate plane, so your child can find help for exactly what was assigned in class.

How long are the video lessons?

Most video lessons run between 5 and 15 minutes, broken into focused steps. Your child can pause, rewind, and rewatch any section as many times as needed to understand the concept.

Is there a state test for 5th grade math in Iowa?

Iowa uses the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) to assess math. Grade 5 is one of the tested years, so the content your child practices on StudyPug is directly relevant to that assessment.

Can my child use StudyPug on a tablet or phone?

Yes. StudyPug works on tablets, phones, and computers, so your child can practice 5th grade math at home, on the go, or wherever it is most convenient for your family.

Can I try StudyPug before paying?
