Math Antics
Math Antics is a free series of animated, lightly funny math video lessons covering basic math, geometry, statistics and early algebra, usually taught in grades 3–8. A $20-a-year membership adds printable exercises and worksheets.
What is Math Antics?
Math Antics is a series of animated math video lessons made by Rob and Jeremy, two longtime friends who formed a small company called Math Plus Motion in Southern California. Jeremy was homeschooling his own kids and couldn't find math resources that were simple and engaging, so the pair set out to animate math and add a little humor. The videos took off on YouTube, where the channel passed one million subscribers in 2019.
Today the collection has more than 70 videos, all free to watch.
How it works
Pick a topic, watch the video, then practice. That's it. The videos explain one idea at a time with clean animation and a light, funny tone that helps anxious kids relax.
The free videos live on the Math Antics website and YouTube. A paid membership unlocks printable Exercises and Worksheets matched to each lesson. They are PDFs, so your child prints them or copies problems onto paper. There are no quizzes, tests or interactive exercises.
Teachers can share access with their own students, and parents can share it with their household.
What it covers
| Area | Topics |
|---|---|
| Basic math | Numeracy, arithmetic, multi-digit algorithms, fractions, mixed numbers, percents, ratios, measurement, integers, exponents |
| Geometry | Points, lines, angles, polygons, perimeter, area, circles, volume, Pythagorean theorem, transformations |
| Statistics | Mean, median and mode, probability, data and graphs |
| Algebra | Equations, exponents and polynomials, graphing, functions, slope, inequalities |
There is no high school or college material, and the creators say they don't plan to add it. There are no lessons on word-problem strategies yet.
Who it's best for
Math Antics is perfect when a child hits a wall on one topic and needs it explained another way. It also helps parents brush up before teaching a lesson. It is a natural pairing with a homeschool math curriculum or with elementary math and middle school math programs.
It is not the right choice if you need a full course with practice, grading and tests.
Pricing at a glance
The videos are free. A one-year membership is a single $20 payment, with no monthly billing, no auto-renewal and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Can a scholarship or ESA pay for it?
You likely won't need one: the videos are free. If you buy the $20 worksheet membership, reimbursement depends on your program's rules for supplemental materials. Check scholarships in your state for a full curriculum to pair it with, save your picks to a wishlist, and apply once on Edulist.
