Why build Anki flashcards for maths from your own notes

Anki is built for review, but the hard part of a maths deck is writing good cards from lecture notes and textbook chapters. DeckOwl reads your PDF, slides or photographed worked examples and drafts Anki flashcards for maths that you can edit before your first session. The cards use spaced repetition, so the problems you forget return sooner.

Cards generated from your own course material, not a generic bank
Spaced repetition schedules reviews around what you forget
Plus exports to Anki, CSV, PDF and DOCX
Free plan includes 3 generations per month with browser study

Example maths flashcards for Anki

What is the derivative of sin(x)?cos(x). The slope of sin(x) at each point matches the value of cos(x).

State the quadratic formula.x = (-b ± √(b² − 4ac)) / 2a, which gives the roots of ax² + bx + c = 0.

What is the integral of 1/x with respect to x?ln|x| + C, valid for x ≠ 0.

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 sum of the interior angles of a triangle?180 degrees, or π radians, for any triangle in Euclidean geometry.

Cards from your own course material

Drop in your lecture slides, textbook chapter or handwritten notes. The cards reflect the theorems, methods and examples your class actually uses.

Spaced repetition for maths recall

Cards you miss come back sooner, and ones you know are spaced further apart, so formulas and methods stay fresh before the exam.

Export to Anki on Plus

Plus includes Anki, CSV, PDF and DOCX export, so your maths deck can sync with the Anki app on any device you already use.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a clear photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.

Review the generated cards

Edit any vague card, split long proofs into single steps and remove anything that does not match your course.

Study and export

Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to Anki on Plus and keep reviewing on your schedule.

Good maths cards test one step or one rule. Put a formula on one card and a worked example on another, rather than cramming a full solution onto a single back. Fix any vague wording before you start, because a card you cannot answer clearly will not help you learn the method.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for a maths topic?

Most maths topics work well with 15 to 30 cards, with one idea per card. Split long proofs into steps so each card tests a single move you need to recall.

What is the best way to study maths with flashcards?

Write the front as a problem prompt rather than a definition, and say the method aloud before you flip the card. Review in short daily sessions so spaced repetition can space out the cards you already know.

Can I export maths flashcards to Anki?

Yes, Anki export is included with Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Does it work with photos of printed or handwritten maths pages?

Photos are read with text recognition, so clear, well-lit pages give the best results. Check the generated cards for symbols and equations, since recognition can miss some notation.
