Real-time formative assessment, finally possible.

The most powerful teaching tool we have is the one we can least afford to use.

Formative assessment — the ongoing, in-the-moment understanding of where students actually are — is the most evidence-backed teaching practice in education research. It's also, in practice, the one teachers can least afford to use. A teacher with thirty students can't watch all thirty work problems at once. Can't grade short-answer responses by the next class period. Can't see at a glance who's stuck on the third step versus who never set up the first equation.

SolveRight was built to close that gap. It shows you what your students are doing as they're doing it. It grades calculation, multiple-choice, and short-answer work as it's submitted. It flags the students who need attention. It hands the time-consuming work to AI so you can do the work only a teacher can do.

See every student's work, as it happens.

The teacher dashboard shows a live thumbnail of every student's handwritten canvas, refreshing in near real-time while they work. Combined with the indicator bar, teachers see both what the student is actually writing and what the AI thinks about their progress — at a glance, for the entire class. You don't have to wait until the end of class to find out who's struggling. You can see it now, walk over, and help.

What's happening, without hovering.

A two-pass Vision AI pipeline reads each student's canvas in real time and classifies their work into one of five states. Each problem is pre-analyzed once to produce a structured signature — the knowns, the relevant equations, the correct answer with units, and common intermediate values. Student work is then evaluated against that signature deterministically, which keeps grading consistent across students and fast enough to run live while they write. Colorblind-safe patterns and text labels make the system accessible to every educator.

The AI does the first pass. You do the judgment.

Calculation problems get graded as the student works, via a Socratic-nudge system that flags errors without giving away answers. Multiple-choice problems grade themselves. Short-answer responses are read by AI against your grading guidance and returned with a letter grade and a brief rationale — with the explicit expectation that you'll review and override anything that looks wrong.

Cheating doesn't work by design.

SolveRight assumes students will try to copy answers, share screens, and use outside AI tools. The platform is built to make those shortcuts useless rather than to police them.

The right format for the right kind of question.

SolveRight supports four distinct problem types. Each is designed for a specific kind of learning task — and each integrates with the grading, dashboard, and integrity systems above.

Your problems, your curriculum.

SolveRight doesn't lock you into a fixed problem bank. Teachers author their own problem sets aligned with their curriculum, their textbook, and their pacing — with tools that make bringing in new content fast.

One platform, three kinds of work.

Not every assignment is a test. SolveRight runs three distinct modes — each with different feedback, grading, and academic-integrity behavior — so you can use the right one for the right task.

The pedagogy is in the platform.

SolveRight's pedagogy draws on the research that has underpinned good math teaching for decades: Black and Wiliam on formative assessment, Bloom on mastery learning, Vygotsky on scaffolding within the zone of proximal development, the worked-example effect from cognitive load theory, and Marzano's research-based instructional strategies. When a student makes an error, SolveRight doesn't fix it for them. It nudges. It asks. It points. The student does the thinking. The student earns the understanding.

AI does the work that scales poorly with class size — watching, reading, flagging, grading. The pedagogy stays where it belongs: in the hands of the teacher who knows the students, the content, and what they're trying to do.

Designed to fit your district.

SolveRight was built from day one with school operating realities in mind — accessibility law, state AI regulations, student data security, and roster integration.

Roster onboarding supports bulk CSV and Excel upload, manual entry, and class-based teacher organization. Audit logging captures every grade change, assignment delete, and teacher override — with the underlying records preserved beyond the working data, as compliance regimes typically require.

Built by a working teacher.

SolveRight is built and operated by someone with decades of real teaching experience — a high school physics teacher, Project Lead The Way engineering instructor, and community college electrical technology and technical physics professor. Navy veteran. Eighteen years coordinating the MATE ROV Competition for the Texas region. NSF grant principal investigator. TEA curriculum work. Department chair at Alvin Community College. Former Treasurer of the Houston chapter of the Marine Technology Society. TRS recipient.

The platform exists because the problem — how do you actually use formative assessment when you have thirty students and one of you — was personally pressing and didn't have a good solution. Decisions get made by someone who's been in front of a classroom. Feature requests are evaluated against whether they make the teacher's day easier or harder. There's no growth-at-all-costs business model behind the platform.
