Building the future of maths education in New Zealand
Kaka Math was born from a simple belief: every New Zealand student deserves access to world-class maths support that understands our curriculum, our culture, and our kids.
Our Mission
Too many Kiwi kids struggle with maths - not because they lack ability, but because they lack the right support at the right moment. Traditional tutoring is expensive and inaccessible. Generic apps don't understand our curriculum.
We built Kaka Math to change that. We've created a patient, encouraging tutor that's available 24/7, aligned perfectly to the New Zealand curriculum, and affordable for every family.
Our Socratic approach means we never just give answers. We guide students to discover solutions themselves, building genuine understanding and confidence that lasts far beyond any single maths problem.
Why the Kaka?
The Kaka is a native New Zealand parrot that thrives in our native forests. It's known for its intelligence, playfulness, and distinctive personality. While home is among the trees, the Kaka aspires to climb to the mountain heights where its cousin the Kea soars - just like our students reaching for new achievements.
Intelligent
Kakas are known for their problem-solving abilities. Our AI tutor brings that same cleverness to helping students work through challenges.
Playful
With their cheeky personalities, Kakas make learning fun. Our gamification system channels that playful spirit to keep students engaged.
Uniquely Kiwi
As a native New Zealand bird, the Kaka represents our commitment to building something truly local that understands Kiwi kids.
Built for the NZ Curriculum
Unlike overseas apps, Kaka Math is designed from the ground up for the New Zealand Mathematics curriculum. Every lesson, every question, every learning pathway is aligned to what Kiwi students need to know.
From number knowledge in primary school through to NCEA Level 3, we've mapped out the entire journey. Our AI generates personalised syllabi based on each student's year level and learning goals.
- Number & Algebra
- Geometry & Measurement
- Statistics & Probability
