Inside the reader

See how it works.

These are real screens from our Precalculus textbook, Section 1.1, which you can read for free today.

How a course works
  1. 01 Read

    A textbook students actually read.

    Short sections in plain language, with the learning objectives up front and a figure or example every few paragraphs. It works on a laptop, a tablet or a phone.

  2. 02 Worked examples

    See every step.

    Each new idea comes with a worked example. Solutions stay hidden until a student is ready, then show every step, including the one students usually miss.

  3. 03 Practice

    Practice that builds.

    Exercise sets move from skill drills to conceptual questions, applications and challenge problems, with answers a click away.

  4. 04 Progress

    Always know where they are.

    A chapter map, completion tracking and an up-next prompt keep kids moving one section at a time. A parent progress view is coming at launch.

Questions

When does Meridian launch?

We’re building Pre-Algebra first. Founding families hear first and get early access before the public launch.

Can we try it first?

Yes. A sample section from our Precalculus textbook is free to read today, so you can see how lessons and worked examples look. A Pre-Algebra sample lesson will follow.

Which grades and courses?

Pre-Algebra comes first. It covers the grade 6 and 7 math standards with selected grade 8 topics, and is usually taken in grade 6, 7 or 8. Founding families help decide which course follows.

How much will it cost?

We’ll announce founding pricing before payment opens, and founding families keep that price. Joining the list is free.
