Math achievement gaps form in the work — not in the score.

CherryPot is the AI math platform that analyzes how K-12 students reason on the problems your teachers already assign — across every classroom, school, and grade.

The District Math Problem

Why math achievement isn't improving.

74% of U.S. 8th graders are not proficient in math. 45% of 12th graders are below basic — the lowest ever recorded. The achievement gap doesn't form in the score — it forms in the work, on the days between assessments, when no one is looking.

How CherryPot Works

Three input devices. Two content sources. One step-by-step analysis.

Students show their math work the way they already do — handwritten on paper that gets scanned, drawn on a tablet with a stylus, or typed at a keyboard. The problems themselves can come from your teachers' existing assessments or CherryPot's curriculum-aligned library — either way, the AI reads the work and analyzes the reasoning step-by-step. Then it rolls that data up to teacher, school, and district dashboards in real time.

District Reasoning Dashboard

See exactly where reasoning breaks — before April tells you.

Drill from district to school to classroom to standard. CherryPot surfaces misconception clusters by content area, identifies subgroup performance gaps, and flags at-risk standards weeks before they show up in state assessments — so your curriculum office can intervene while there's still time.

Works on paper — no 1:1 devices required

Students solve on paper. AI reads the reasoning.

Your students keep solving the way they already do — by hand, on paper. Scan the work and CherryPot grades it step by step, with partial credit and a teacher-editable rubric. It's the show-your-work feedback loop districts tell us they've never been able to find anywhere else.

  • Scans handwritten paper work — no device-per-student mandate
  • Step-level feedback with teacher-editable rubrics
  • Returns 10+ hours per teacher, per week

Evidence & Research Roadmap

A credible, transparent path up the
ESSA evidence ladder — with you.

We're clear about exactly where we are and where we're headed: an ESSA Tier IV rationale in 2026, a Tier III study with our founding districts, and a Tier II RCT by 2027–28. Your district becomes a co-investigator on the research that defines this category.

Where we start
Q3 2026
Tier IV
Published rationale & logic model — "Demonstrates a Rationale."
2026–27
Tier III
Quasi-experimental study with founding districts ("Promising Evidence").
2027–28
Tier II
Moderate evidence — randomized control study.

Early pilots improved internal benchmarks by ~17%p across 200+ schools globally. U.S. replication is exactly the work we want our founding districts to co-author with us — with research rights and reporting built into the partnership.

Why districts pilot CherryPot

Designed to work with — not replace —
what you already do.

Sits on top of your curriculum

Works with your HQIM — Illustrative Mathematics, Eureka Math², Open Up Resources — and your state standards. Never replaces. We analyze student reasoning on the problems your teachers already assign, with no switch in scope, sequence, or pedagogy.

Three-input flexibility

Paper, tablet, or keyboard — same analysis, same dashboard. Whatever your device-equity policy looks like (1:1, BYOD, or paper-and-pencil), CherryPot works identically. Schools without tablets aren't left behind.

Curated curriculum-office pilot

Six teachers, selected by your curriculum office. Eight weeks. Co-authored Pilot Success Plan. No freemium-tool lobbying — a structured pilot with shared baseline and target metrics we build together.

Fits your LMS & workflow

Google Classroom is live today; Canvas, Schoology, MS Teams, Clever, and ClassLink are on the integration roadmap. We tailor standards mapping, integrations, and reporting to how your district actually works.

Alignment, not replacement

Use your existing HQIM. CherryPot sits on top.

CherryPot supplements the high-quality instructional materials your teachers already trust — never asking them to abandon the core curriculum. We align to your materials and standards, and tailor the platform to how your district actually works.

HQIM-compatible

Currently integrated with Eureka Math² and Illustrative Mathematics — easily extensible to additional HQIM your district adopts.

LMS-integrated

Google Classroom is live today. Canvas, Schoology, MS Teams and others are available on request — no rip-and-replace.

Customized to your district

From standards mapping to integrations and reporting, we configure CherryPot to fit your team's workflow.

Content & Library

A supplementary library that doesn't lock you in.

CherryPot includes a curriculum-aligned library of 10,000+ math problem types — 300,000+ individual problems — across grades 3 through 12. Use it as a supplementary source when teachers need fresh problems, without the IXL-style rigidity or the Khanmigo-style curriculum override. It supplements your adopted curriculum; it never replaces it.

Equity by design

Catch the students the benchmark would miss

Because CherryPot reads reasoning rather than final answers, it surfaces the students who are one misconception away from proficiency — disaggregated the way your accountability plan requires.

Subgroup visibility

Disaggregate by grade, class, and subgroup so interventions reach the students furthest from proficiency.

Early-warning signals

Reasoning data flags struggling students weeks before a summative test confirms it.

Board-ready reporting

Generate PDF reports for school boards, Title I/grant reporting, and family communication in a click.

Fundable from day one

Built to move the metrics your budget already answers to

CherryPot targets the outcomes superintendents are measured on — closing the math gap and lifting state test scores — which means it maps cleanly onto the funding streams you already manage.

State assessment outcomes

Reasoning-level practice and early signals aim squarely at higher state math test scores — the number your board watches.

Math intervention & MTSS

Slots into Tier 1–2 math intervention and MTSS/RtI blocks with the progress data those programs require.

Equity & Title I priorities

Subgroup visibility supports Title I and equity goals — reaching the students furthest from proficiency first.

Commonly funded throughTitle IMath intervention / MTSSState assessment improvementEquity & opportunity grantsTitle II (teacher capacity)

Funding eligibility varies by state and district — we'll help your team map CherryPot to the right source during the pilot.

Recognition

Trusted by educators across two continents.

Deployed across 200+ partner schools globally — serving 4,000+ student users in grades 6–12. Internal benchmark improvements averaged ~17%p on curriculum-aligned assessments. U.S. district pilots are underway for the 2026–27 school year through our Founding District program.

Founding District Partnership · Fall 2026

Five districts. Co-designed with your curriculum office.

The first five Founding Districts get founder-level access, half-price Year-1 expansion, co-authorship on the case study we publish in winter 2026, and a seat on the Tier III research cohort. We are choosing five deliberately — not because we couldn't take more, but because we couldn't co-design at this depth with more than five.

5 spots · Fall 2026 cohort

A pilot you can defend to your board.

We co-author a Pilot Success Plan with your team, run it for a single grading window, and hand you the data — plus case-study and research rights. Apply by August 31, 2026.
