Homeschooling has a way of sharpening your instincts as a parent. When you’re choosing the curriculum, setting the pace, and learning right alongside your kids, you get very clear about what’s actually working. Math, especially, has always been an area where I’ve looked for tools that build real understanding without taking over an entire afternoon.
Tile Farm fits that need perfectly—and I say that both as a parent and as someone who works at Tile Farm.
“Tile Farm builds real math understanding without turning learning into a struggle. As a parent, that’s one of the many reasons I love it.”
Patrick Iverson, Parent and Tile Farm COO
We use Daily Digits as part of our regular routine, and the short, highly engaging exercises have made a noticeable difference in my kids’ number sense and fluency. Because the sessions are brief and focused, they’re a great warm up or reward and don’t feel overwhelming, but they still pack a lot of thinking into a small amount of time. That fluency has carried over into other math curriculum and activities, making new concepts feel more accessible and less intimidating.
One of the things I love most about Tile Farm is the creativity that comes along with it. Tile Farm Studio doesn’t just support math learning—it sparks it. My kids experiment with patterns, symmetry, and design in ways that naturally extended into their off-screen creativity. I started seeing the same ideas show up in drawings, LEGO builds, and craft projects around the house. Math stopped feeling like a separate subject and started feeling like a tool they could use.
As a parent, I’m thoughtful about screen time, and Tile Farm has completely changed how I think about it. Even though it’s web-based, it’s the kind of screen time I never feel guilty about. It’s calm, purposeful, and genuinely engaging—much closer to hands-on learning than passive consumption. There’s no overstimulation, no pressure… just focused thinking and creative exploration.
From my kids’ perspective, it’s even simpler—they like it. I’ve never heard complaints when it’s time to do Tile Farm. That buy-in matters a lot in our homeschool environment, where motivation sets the tone for the whole day.
“It’s fun, and it makes math make sense. I like that I get to make things.”
Stella, Age 11
I work at Tile Farm, but I also use it with my own kids because I trust it. I see the impact daily—not just in their math skills, but in their confidence and creativity. It strengthens our homeschool practice rather than competing with it, and that’s rare.
