Monday: you pick the plan
Choose the skills for the week. Each one is mapped to grade 6–8 standards, so you know what's practiced and why.
- 6.RP.3 ratios
- 7.EE.4 equations
- 8.F.1 functions
You stay the math teacher.
Pibaru is a grade 6–8 math companion for homeschool families: short lessons with Capi, practice that shows the missing step, and a weekly report you can keep for your records.
We're building it now. Waitlist families get early access.
Grade 6 practice · 6.RP.3
Which fraction equals 34?
Pick one. A wrong answer here is a “so close”.

Long worksheets and long videos wear kids out before the first problem. And equations, functions and geometry build on what came before: a shaky 6th grade weighs on 8th.
A week with Capi
Three things every week, and a day off. This is what we're building, and waitlist families help decide what comes first.
Tuesday: a short lesson with Capi
A few minutes of explanation, then practice that shows the step that was missing. Short enough to start without a fight.
Wednesday: wrong is “so close”
Capi points to the step to check, with no scolding and no leaderboard. The next problem practices exactly that step.
Friday: a report you can keep
What was mastered, time spent and dates, on one page. We're designing it with state record-keeping in mind.
Sunday: rest
Nobody “loses a streak”. The plan waits, and Capi naps too.
Everyone keeps pace
Works with your plan. Use it beside your textbook, co-op class or program. It's practice, not a full curriculum.
One report per child, by skill, with dates and time spent, even with three kids at three levels.
Private by default. We don't ask for your child's full name, school or photo.
Capybaras move as a group, and the little ones keep pace with everyone. Capybaras on the Tietê River, Brazil.
Motivation, no pressure
A day off is a day off
- Nobody loses a streak.
- The plan waits for your child to come back.
- Coming back gets a hello, never guilt.
- Rewards are for learning, not screen time.
No leaderboards
- No ranking against other kids.
- Each child is compared only with themselves.
- A mastered skill gets a Capi celebration.
You do the sharing
- Kids never post anything.
- Milestone cards have no photo, school or full name.
- You see the card first and decide.
Data is never for ads
- Built with COPPA in mind.
- We collect only what we need.
- Student data is never sold or used for ads.
Why Pibaru
Pibaru is π plus capybara. We picked the capybara because it's the calmest animal in Brazil: it lets birds sit on its head, moves as a group and waits for the little ones. That's how we want math at home to feel, without the fight. Capi explains each step, celebrates when a skill is mastered and, when your child gets it wrong, says “so close” and shows where to look. Skills follow grade 6–8 standards, and you stay in charge of the plan. Every Friday you get a short report with what was mastered, time spent and dates, ready for your records. We're building it now, with homeschool families helping shape it. Join the waitlist and follow along.

Questions
When will it be ready?
We're building it now and plan to open early access to waitlist families before the 2027–28 school year.
How much will it cost?
We haven't set a price yet. Your answer on the form helps us choose one that's fair for families.
Is it a full curriculum?
No. It's math practice and reports for grades 6–8. You stay in charge of what your child learns and when.
Can I use ESA funds?
Not yet. Tell us on the form whether you use ESA or similar funds, and in which state: it helps us decide which programs to apply to first.
Do you use AI? What about mistakes?
AI helps us draft lessons, and a math teacher reviews every lesson and exercise before a student sees it. Students and parents can flag an error in one tap.
What do you do with my data?
We only use what you share here to contact you about the waitlist. We don't sell it or share it with advertisers, and we don't ask for any information about your child. To leave the list or delete your data, email contato@pibaru.com.br.
