Snap a Question prototype

Photo help, but with a confirmation step.

This demo uses a real phone camera/photo-picker input, then shows the important No Panic Math step: confirm the question before solving it.

Typed demo

On your phone, tap Snap a question to open the camera/photo picker. The image stays in this browser preview—it is not uploaded or stored. This prototype does not do real OCR yet.

No Panic MathSnap demo

Snap a question.

Take or upload a photo of one math problem. The app should ask you to confirm what it sees before solving.

Photos stay on this device. Image files up to 10 MB.

Check the photo.

Sample worksheet3x + 5 = 20

Before solving, No Panic Math should make sure it read the right question.

Confirm the question.

Demo detection:

In a real app, AI/OCR would fill this in. The student should still be able to fix it before solving.

Solve with why.

3x + 5 = 20

Goal

Get x by itself so we know what number makes the equation true.

Step 1

Subtract 5 from both sides: 3x = 15

Why?

Subtracting 5 undoes the +5. Doing it to both sides keeps the equation balanced.

Step 2

Divide both sides by 3: x = 5

Check

3(5) + 5 = 20, so the answer works.

That’s the flow.

Snap, preview, confirm, then solve with calm step-by-step reasoning.

Why this matters.

The camera/photo feature should feel helpful without becoming a cheating shortcut.

Real photo input

The prototype includes a real image upload/camera input for phone testing.

Confirmation first

The student confirms or edits the detected problem before seeing a solution.

Learning-first solve

The explanation still shows why each step works, not just the final answer.
