For educators

Built for soroban teachers — not adapted for them.

Kani Math gives teachers live arena matches, per-student progress dashboards, and the same nine-level curriculum we use with our own learners. Free to start, runs in any browser, no software install.

teacher.kani-math.com

Compete, assign, review.

Three things the portal is built to make fast, so the time you spend on admin turns back into time you spend teaching.

Competitions

Turn any lesson into a contest

Open an arena from the portal and read out the join code. Every student answers the identical problem set at the same moment, standings move while they work, and it ends on a podium. It takes about a minute to set up.

  • Students join by code or link — no account, no download, any phone or tablet
  • Everyone gets the same questions in the same order, so the result is actually a ranking
  • Live standings during the round, podium and full scores at the end
  • Or run the competition paper — 200 questions in 8 minutes, categories A to I — when you are training for the real thing
Homework

Send homework as a link

Build the set, copy the link, paste it into the class or family group chat. Students tap it and start. There is nothing to hand out, nothing to collect, and no login standing between a child and their practice.

  • One link per assignment, opens straight into the drill on any device
  • Download the same set as a printable worksheet with a matching answer key
  • Close the assignment when the deadline passes, or leave it open for catch-up
  • Attempts arrive as students finish — you never chase anyone for a submission
Results

See exactly where each child slipped

Results are not a percentage. Every attempt comes back question by question: what you asked, what they answered, how many tries it took and how long they sat there. The weak spot is usually visible in about ten seconds.

  • Per student: every attempt, their best score, and whether they are still mid-way through
  • Per question: expected answer against the given one, correct, wrong or skipped, retries and seconds
  • The pattern shows itself — the same complement, the same digit width, the same hesitation, every time
  • You walk into the next class already knowing who to sit next to

All three run in the browser on whatever device is already in the room. Nothing to install, for you or for the families.

What else is in it.

Common questions

How many students can I run at once?
A live arena holds up to 30 students on one host code. Class dashboards and homework have no hard cap; the arena limit is about keeping a real-time round readable, not about licensing.
Do students need to install anything?
No. Students join from any browser on any device using a code or a link. Native apps exist for Android and iOS but are never required for classroom use.
Can I use this alongside my existing curriculum?
Yes. Teachers commonly use the drills and homework for practice volume while keeping their own lesson sequence. The nine-level ladder is available if you want a full path, but nothing forces you onto it.
What does it cost for a centre?
Free to evaluate with up to five students. Centre plans start beyond that and are priced per seat with no setup fee. Contact us for a quote covering your student count.
Is it available in Arabic?
Yes — the student app ships sixteen languages, all first-class, including right-to-left Arabic and Urdu. Number narration is delivered in English to every locale, a deliberate single-source choice.
