Step-by-Step Hints

Stuck on a problem? Instead of just showing the answer, Beside Math walks students through guided hints — one step at a time — building understanding, not dependency.

Live Example Grade 4 · Multiplication

What is 36 × 24?

💡 1

Break 24 into 20 + 4. We'll solve each part separately using the distributive property.

💡 2

Calculate 36 × 20: Think of it as 36 × 2 × 10 = 72 × 10 = 720.

💡 3

Now calculate 36 × 4 = 144. Add both parts: 720 + 144 = 864 ✓

Hints are paced so students think before revealing the answer.

Scratchpad

Solve on Screen

Students write their work directly into the interactive scratchpad. Beside Math checks each step, pinpoints exactly where an error occurred, and explains why — without giving away the answer.

Scratchpad Checking work…
1 36 × 24 = ?
2 Break apart: 36 × (20 + 4)
3 36 × 20 = 720 ✓
4 36 × 4 = 124 Expected 144 · 36×4: try 30×4=120, then 6×4=24 → 120+24=144
5 720 + 124 = 844

⚠ Error on Line 4

36 × 4 ≠ 124. Try breaking it into (30 × 4) + (6 × 4). Hover line 4 to see the hint.

Live Scratch Pad
Tri prism:
base = 40 - 32 = 8
V = ½ × 8 × 7 × 15 = 420
Rect prism:
V = 32 × 15 × 7 = 3360
Total = 420 + 3360 = 3780

🎓 Step-by-Step

✓

Step 1

Break the prism into two simpler sections: a triangular prism and a rectangular prism.

2

Current Step

Calculate the volume of each section.

Triangle V = ½ × base × height × depth
Rectangle V = length × width × depth

Step 3

Add the two volumes together to find the total.
