AI literacy for the AI generation

Minneapolis. Rochester. St. Paul. Minnesota's tech economy is world-class.

Minnesota's medical device and healthcare technology sector is one of the most significant in the world. Medtronic runs AI-powered algorithms for cardiac monitoring, insulin delivery, and surgical guidance. Mayo Clinic in Rochester is a global leader in healthcare AI, analyzing petabytes of patient data. Target's headquarters in Minneapolis runs one of the most sophisticated retail AI operations in the country. 3M uses AI for materials science research and product development.

🧠
Critical AI thinking

Kids learn to question and evaluate AI outputs — not just accept them as truth.

🔢
The math that makes AI work

Probability, statistics, functions — real foundations, not surface-level buzzwords.

Future-ready for Minnesota

Medical device AI, healthcare data science, retail AI — Minnesota's industries need deep mathematical thinkers.

The Minnesota tech context

Minneapolis. Rochester. Bloomington. Minnesota's economy is data-driven.

Minnesota's economy is anchored by industries that require sophisticated data science. Medtronic's cardiac devices use AI algorithms trained on millions of patient heart rhythms. Mayo Clinic's AI research division analyzes genomic, imaging, and clinical data to advance diagnostics. Target's data science team uses machine learning for inventory, personalization, and supply chain optimization. IBM's Rochester facility and Cray's supercomputing division add to the state's deep tech concentration.

Math literacy for Minnesota kids translates into access to careers at some of the world's most innovative companies — many of them right in the state. Chalky Math teaches the statistical reasoning behind medical device algorithms, the probability behind clinical trial design, and the optimization behind retail supply chains.

Minnesota homeschool parents

Minnesota families. Ambitious. Prepared.

Minnesota's quarterly reports used to be painful to prepare. Since switching to Chalky Math, I just export the skill completion logs. Each quarter takes 20 minutes.

Homeschool parent, Eden Prairie MN

My husband works in data science at Target. He reviewed Chalky Math and said it teaches the exact statistical reasoning that defines his work — starting in Grade 6. That's remarkable.

Amy K.
Homeschool parent, Wayzata MN

The annual assessment stopped being stressful the moment we started Chalky Math. My kids learn for real understanding, not for test scores — and the test scores follow naturally.

Homeschool parent, Maple Grove MN

We're near Mayo Clinic. The idea that healthcare AI runs on the same math my daughter does every day in Chalky Math makes abstract curriculum feel urgent and meaningful.

Minnesota-specific questions

What Minnesota homeschool families ask us most.

Do I need to notify the school district in Minnesota?+
Yes. Minnesota requires annual notice filed with your local school district by October 1 each year (Minn. Stat. § 120A.22). You must also submit quarterly instructional reports. Additionally, annual assessment via standardized test or qualified teacher evaluation is required. These requirements make a structured curriculum with automatic tracking essential.
What subjects does Minnesota require for homeschooling?+
Minnesota requires instruction in reading, writing, literature, mathematics, history, geography, science, health, and physical education. Mathematics is explicitly required. Chalky Math covers mathematics across Grades 1–8 with AI literacy — fully satisfying the mathematics requirement.
Does Chalky Math meet Minnesota homeschool requirements?+
Yes. Minnesota requires annual math assessment. Chalky Math builds genuine mastery at each grade level — which prepares students for standardized testing without dedicated test prep. The curriculum's skill-tracking logs also provide the quarterly report documentation Minnesota families need.
Do I need to be a math expert to use Chalky Math?+
Not at all. Every lesson is self-contained — your child reads, works through problems, and completes activities without you needing to explain concepts first. The curriculum handles the teaching; your job is to show up and stay curious alongside them.
Can we start at a grade other than Grade 1?+
Absolutely. Each grade is self-contained. Start where your child is — if they are working at a Grade 4 level, begin there. Many families jump in mid-curriculum and progress quickly.
