A free alternative to Khan Academy
Khan Academy is a beloved free library of videos and practice. COSMIQ takes a different shape: instead of watching a lesson, you talk to a tutor that works the problem with you, out loud, on a live board.
Khan Academy is a free self-paced lesson-and-practice library. People typically use it for self-paced lessons and skill practice across math, reading, and science. Here's how COSMIQ covers the same ground — free.
Why families switch to COSMIQ
- Ask a question in your own words, by voice — no hunting for the right video.
- Watch the smart board build each step, then try the next one yourself with instant feedback.
- Get unstuck in the moment instead of rewinding a recording.
- Every skill maps to your grade's standards, so practice counts toward the real test.
