The Cost of Mathshare

There is no price for Mathshare. It’s free for teachers, parents, schools, districts, and students.

Mathshare was developed with generous support for various funders. Mathshare is and always will be free for teachers, students, and parents.

To accomplish our mission of supporting inclusive Math and Science classrooms we are partnering with other education and technology companies to integrate Mathshare into their tools for their users.

Why You Need a Google or Microsoft ID to Create a Mathshare Account and How Mathshare Accesses and Uses Your Data

We use Google and Microsoft Sign in to handle user accounts. We chose Google and Microsoft because the majority of schools in the USA provide google accounts for their students, even if email is disabled for the account. This makes accounts easier to setup and more secure because you don’t need an email to verify your account, no extra password to forget, and controlled by your school admin. We do store your Google or Microsoft ID but never see your password or other log in credentials. Google and Microsoft handle all of that and simply tells us your ID when you have successfully signed in.

What Google gives us about you:

  • Google ID
  • Your Google email
  • Your name
  • Your profile picture

What Microsoft gives us about you:

  • Microsoft ID
  • Your Microsoft email
  • Your name
  • Your profile picture
