Will this help with my child's 1st grade math homework?

Yes. StudyPug covers every strand in Michigan's 1st grade math curriculum, so when your child gets stuck on addition, subtraction, place value, or shapes, they can find a matching lesson and worked example right away.

How long are the video lessons?

Most video lessons are short and focused, typically a few minutes each, so a 1st grader can watch one lesson at a time without losing focus. Each lesson targets a single concept from the Michigan K-12 Standards.

Is there a Michigan state test for 1st grade math?

Michigan's M-STEP assessment for math begins in 3rd grade, so 1st graders are not tested on the state assessment. The 1st grade year focuses on building the foundation skills assessed in later grades.

Can my child use StudyPug on a tablet or phone?

Yes. StudyPug works on tablets, phones, and computers, so your child can practice 1st grade math at home, on the go, or wherever it is most convenient for your family.

Can I try StudyPug before paying?

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