Making your own math flashcards

Most people who search for a way to make math flashcards online for free have a specific chapter in front of them, such as a unit on factoring or a set of trig identities. Free online math flashcards work best when they come from that exact material, because the terms and notation match what your teacher uses.

Example algebra and geometry flashcards

What is the quadratic formula?x = (−b ± √(b² − 4ac)) / 2a, which gives the roots of ax² + bx + c = 0 when a is not zero.

What is the slope of a line through (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?(y2 − y1) / (x2 − x1), the change in y divided by the change in x between the two points.

What does the Pythagorean theorem state?In a right triangle, a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse opposite the right angle.

What is the difference of squares identity?a² − b² = (a − b)(a + b), which is useful for factoring expressions with two perfect squares.

What is the sum of the interior angles of a triangle?180 degrees, which holds for every triangle in Euclidean geometry.

Works from your own material

Upload PDFs, DOCX files, PPTX slides, plain-text notes or photos of pages. Text in photos is read with text recognition, so handwritten-to-print worksheets can be used too.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards come back at the intervals that help you remember them, so you spend less time rereading and more time on the formulas you keep missing.

Free to start in the browser

The free plan includes 3 generations a month and studying in the browser. No credit card is needed to begin.

How it works

Upload your math material

Add a PDF of your textbook chapter, lecture slides, or a photo of your class notes.

Generate your cards

DeckOwl reads the material and turns definitions, formulas and worked examples into flashcards.

Review in your browser

Study the deck online and let spaced repetition schedule the cards you find hardest.

Math cards are most useful when each one asks for one fact, rule or step: a formula on the front and its condition of use on the back, or a problem type on the front and the first move on the back. Keep cards short so you can answer them from memory in a few seconds.

Start with the topics you will be tested on, generate a small batch, and review it daily for a week. Add cards for the mistakes you make on practice problems, since those are the facts you most need to recall.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for a math unit?

Aim for one card per rule, formula or problem type rather than a fixed number. For a typical algebra unit, a deck of 30 to 60 focused cards is a manageable starting point that you can review in about 15 minutes a day.

What makes a good math flashcard?

A good math card asks for one fact, such as a formula, a theorem or the first step of a method. Put the condition or context on the front so the answer is not guessed from memory of the wording alone.

Is DeckOwl free to use for math flashcards?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations a month and studying in the browser. Exporting to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV requires the Plus plan, which is $39 a year or $7.99 a month.

Can I export my math flashcards?

Exports are a paid feature. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and students with a school email get 40 percent off.
