Lessons that listen.
Kitebook is a book that thinks with you. Every answer, even a wrong one, opens a path made for the way you were thinking.
How it works
A lesson is a map, not a line.
Every lesson has a main path. When you stumble, Kitebook works out why and takes you down a short path for that exact mistake. Then it brings you back.
Predict first
Each lesson opens with a puzzle and asks for your guess before teaching anything. Your guess shows where you're starting from.
"Two calculators, the same keys, two answers. Which one is right?"
Play with it
Slide, pour, cut and scoop. Each idea is something you can move, so you see the rule work before anyone states it.
Re-cut two chocolate bars until the pieces match.
Find your way back
A wrong answer isn't a red cross. Kitebook spots the misconception behind it and gives you a short path made for that mistake.
"Adding 4 to both keeps the gap the same. But taste is about share."
The library
Eight lessons to try.
Each takes about ten minutes. Try one as a learner, then pick a wrong answer on purpose to see where it takes you.
