AI literacy for the AI generation

Portland. Hillsboro. Corvallis. Oregon's tech economy is world-class.

Oregon's tech economy is anchored by Intel, Nike, and a thriving Portland startup community. Intel's Hillsboro campus is one of the company's largest manufacturing and research facilities in the world, employing thousands of semiconductor engineers. Nike's Beaverton headquarters runs sophisticated AI for product design, supply chain optimization, and athlete performance analytics. Amazon, Google, and Adidas have significant Portland-area operations. Oregon State University's engineering programs produce significant tech graduates.

🧠
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 Oregon

Semiconductor engineering, tech startups, outdoor industry AI — Oregon's economy needs workers who think in data.

The Oregon tech context

Portland. Hillsboro. Corvallis. Oregon is a serious tech state.

Oregon's technology economy is dominated by Intel's massive Hillsboro presence — one of the world's largest semiconductor manufacturing campuses. Nike's world headquarters in Beaverton runs machine learning for athlete data analysis, inventory optimization, and DTC retail AI. Portland's tech startup ecosystem has grown significantly, with companies like Daimler Truck North America, Precision Castparts, and Adidas running major technology operations.

Math literacy for Oregon kids means direct access to careers at some of the world's most innovative companies — many of them located right in the state. Chalky Math teaches the statistical reasoning behind semiconductor quality control, the optimization mathematics behind supply chain AI, and the data science behind Nike's athlete analytics.

Oregon homeschool parents

Oregon families. Tech-forward. Principled.

Oregon tests in grades 3, 5, 8, and 10. Since Chalky Math, those assessment days aren't events we prepare for — they're just days my son demonstrates what he already knows.

Heather M.
Homeschool parent, Lake Oswego OR

My wife is an engineer at Intel. She went through Chalky Math's Grade 8 content and said the mathematical reasoning matches what semiconductor engineers need at a conceptual level.

👨🏻
Ryan T.
Homeschool parent, Hillsboro OR

Oregon's startup culture values people who can think analytically. Chalky Math teaches analytical thinking — not just mathematical procedures. That's a meaningful distinction.

Oregon-specific questions

What Oregon homeschool families ask us most.

Do I need to notify the school district in Oregon?+
Yes. Oregon requires annual notice filed with your local Education Service District by September 1 each year (ORS § 339.035). After filing, you choose your own curriculum. Oregon also requires nationally standardized testing in grades 3, 5, 8, and 10. Parents keep the results but do not need to submit them to the state.
What subjects does Oregon require for homeschooling?+
Oregon requires instruction in mathematics, language arts, social studies, health, and science. Mathematics is explicitly required. Chalky Math covers mathematics across Grades 1–8 comprehensively with AI literacy included.
Does Chalky Math meet Oregon homeschool requirements?+
Yes. Oregon requires periodic standardized testing. Chalky Math builds genuine mastery at each grade level, which prepares students for standardized tests naturally. Students who complete each Chalky Math grade are typically well above the national average for that grade level.
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.
