Hands-on math.
Screen-free AI.
Unnumberium is building an AI math tutor that watches how children work with physical objects, understands their problem-solving strategies, and guides them through spoken dialogue — without a screen.
How it works
The child works with real objects
Children count, combine, separate, and move physical math pieces to represent problems and explore mathematical relationships.
The AI observes the actions
A camera captures the child's work. The tutor is designed to interpret the sequence of actions, not just check a final answer.
The tutor responds by voice
Spoken questions and hints help children think through their next step. The child does not need to look at a screen.
Why physical objects?
A correct answer doesn't always reveal how a child thinks. The way a child moves, groups, and separates objects can show their mathematical understanding — and where they need help.
What we're building
Our first lessons focus on early arithmetic: counting, composing numbers, addition, subtraction, and word problems. We aim to combine the benefits of hands-on learning with adaptive one-on-one AI guidance.
Currently in development. We are building and testing the first prototype.
