Get math cafe flashcards from the handouts you already have
Upload a PDF, slide deck, set of notes or a photo of a worksheet, and DeckOwl builds flashcards you can review with spaced repetition.
Making math café flashcards from your own material
Most math café sessions leave behind handouts, worked problems and whiteboard photos, and those are the pages worth turning into math cafe flashcards. DeckOwl reads PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text and image files, then writes cards from the material you gave it.
- Use your own handouts and worksheets as the source, so the cards match what your class covered.
- Split a long unit into smaller sets of 15 to 30 cards for steadier review.
- Photograph a whiteboard or printed page if you do not have a digital copy.
- Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to Anki and CSV on Plus.
Reads your actual material
Works from PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and images, including photos of pages read with text recognition.
Cards from your own problems
Flashcards come from the worked examples and definitions in your session materials, not a generic question bank.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards you miss come back sooner, so each topic stays fresh before your next check.
How it works
Upload your material
Add the handout, slides, notes or photos from your math café session.
Generate your flashcards
DeckOwl writes question and answer cards from the content you provided.
Review on a schedule
Study in the browser with spaced repetition and focus on the cards you find hardest.
Keep each card to one idea: a definition, a formula with its conditions, or a problem step with the reason it works. Review the set with spaced repetition so the cards you miss come back sooner than the ones you know.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for one math topic?
Aim for 15 to 30 cards per topic so each one stays specific. Split long units into smaller sets so you review a few times a week instead of cramming.
What should go on the back of a math flashcard?
Put the answer along with the rule or step that produces it, not just the number. Knowing why a method applies helps it carry over to new problems.
Can I export math café flashcards to Anki?
Yes, Anki export is included in Plus, which costs $39 a year or $7.99 a month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
