AI literacy for the AI generation

Burlington. Essex. Montpelier. Vermont's economy is driven by precision manufacturing and healthcare.

Vermont's economy punches above its weight in precision manufacturing and healthcare. GlobalFoundries' Essex Junction fab is one of the largest semiconductor manufacturing facilities in the United States, producing chips for IBM, AMD, and other major technology companies. Vermont's precision manufacturing sector uses AI for quality control and process optimization. The University of Vermont Medical Center is a major healthcare AI research hub for New England.

🧠
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 Vermont

Semiconductor manufacturing, precision engineering, healthcare research — Vermont's economy rewards deep analytical thinking.

The Vermont tech context

Burlington. Essex. Brattleboro. Vermont's tech economy is precise and growing.

Vermont's technology economy is anchored by GlobalFoundries' Essex Junction facility — a massive semiconductor fab that employs thousands of engineers and technicians. Vermont also has a strong precision manufacturing base, including Hypertherm (industrial cutting systems), GW Plastics, and numerous defense and medical device suppliers. The University of Vermont's STEM programs and medical center are significant research institutions.

Math literacy for Vermont kids means understanding the systems that power the state's most significant employers. Chalky Math teaches the physics and mathematics behind semiconductor manufacturing, the statistical process control behind precision manufacturing QC, and the data science behind healthcare research — all directly relevant to Vermont's economy.

Vermont-specific questions

What Vermont homeschool families ask us most.

Do I need to notify the school district in Vermont?+
Yes. Vermont requires annual enrollment with your local school district by September 1 (16 V.S.A. § 166b). Annual assessment with an approved evaluator is also required. The evaluator confirms satisfactory progress in a written statement. After enrollment, you have curriculum freedom — your evaluator advises but does not mandate specific materials.
What subjects does Vermont require for homeschooling?+
Vermont requires instruction in basic communication, citizenship, and core academic subjects including mathematics. Chalky Math covers mathematics across Grades 1–8 comprehensively with AI literacy included — one of the required subjects, fully handled.
Does Chalky Math meet Vermont homeschool requirements?+
Yes. Vermont's annual evaluator assessment is the key accountability mechanism. Chalky Math builds genuine mastery at each grade level and tracks every skill completion automatically — providing the documented mathematical progress your evaluator needs to confirm satisfactory academic progress.
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.
