One program. One monthly price.
Start from your child’s MAP® score, and Helix uses it to choose where daily practice begins. No score yet? Begin with the 30–40 minute diagnostic and see the full skill map first.
For families with students in grades 3–8. One child per subscription.
7-day free trial
During beta
Practice placed from your child’s MAP score
Enter the score at signup. Helix starts practice from it and checks that starting point in the first sessions.
Optional full diagnostic and skill-by-skill report
A 30–40 minute diagnostic: optional with a MAP score, and the starting point without one.
Focused practice that adjusts as your child works
Short daily sessions, about 10–20 minutes, built from your child’s starting point.
Guided help from Ori when your child gets stuck
Ori, the built-in AI math coach, asks focused questions and gives hints that help your child reason through a problem without revealing the answer.
Parent progress view
See what your child has practiced, what is improving, and what currently needs attention.
A card is required to start the trial. Your 7-day free trial begins when you complete checkout. Cancel before your trial ends to avoid the first subscription charge. After the trial, your subscription continues for $19 per month during beta until you cancel.
Frequently asked questions
What happens during the 7-day trial?
The complete program is available: practice placed from your MAP score or the diagnostic and full skill map, personalized daily practice, Ori, and the parent progress view.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes. You can cancel through Manage Billing in your parent dashboard. Cancelling stops the next payment and keeps access open until the end of any period you have already paid for.
Which grades does Helix support?
Helix is designed for families with students in grades 3–8. Its skill map can look across multiple grade levels because current difficulties are sometimes connected to an earlier prerequisite.
Does my child need a MAP score to use Helix?
No, but it is the fastest way to start. If you have one, Helix starts practice from it. If not, Helix starts with its own 30–40 minute diagnostic. Either way, Helix does not replace or reproduce the official MAP result.
How much time does daily practice take?
A session takes about 10–20 minutes.
What happens after the diagnostic?
Helix uses the results to create your child’s initial practice path. The program continues adapting that path as your child completes problems and demonstrates more consistent understanding.
Does the diagnostic have to be completed in one sitting?
No. Progress is saved, so your child can pause and return later. The complete report becomes available after the diagnostic is finished.
Can my child retake the diagnostic?
Yes, once your child has taken it. Start a new diagnostic from your parent dashboard whenever the last one doesn’t reflect your child: a rushed, tired, or skipped-through session, for example. It costs nothing extra. The current report stays until the new one is finished, then the new one replaces it, and anything your child has practiced since is kept.
Is this official MAP preparation?
No. Helix is not affiliated with or endorsed by NWEA and does not sell simulated MAP tests. Helix provides targeted practice on the underlying math skills that broad assessments measure.
Is Helix a replacement for school or tutoring?
No. Helix is a supplemental program designed to help families identify specific skill priorities and provide focused practice at home.
What if I have a question or something goes wrong?
