Productive Failure for teachers
Ready-to-run maths lessons, a PF-trained AI that keeps students thinking, and class analytics that show what to teach next.
For teachers
Experience Productive Failure yourself
A 15-minute orientation that teaches Productive Failure the way it works: you try a problem first and get the explanation second, just as your students will. No sign-up.
Deeper understanding for students.
Clearer next steps for teachers.
Build understanding students can use when the question changes
Students explore a problem before learning the method. The lesson connects their attempts to the underlying concept, helping them understand why the method works and when to use it.
Keep students thinking when they get stuck
Our PF-trained AI asks students to explain their approach and helps them work through misconceptions. It never hands over the answer: questions and prompts support them while they work towards it themselves.
Focused practice on what each student still needs to learn
Adaptive practice responds to each student’s progress. They revisit gaps and apply their understanding to unfamiliar problems as they work towards mastery.
See where your class needs help before planning the next lesson
Review students’ progress and analytics. We help you identify which students need help and what to revisit. Lessons are ready-to-run and can be integrated into your lesson plan easily.
Frequently asked questions
What is Productive Failure?
Students try a problem before they’re taught how to solve it. The teaching then connects their attempts to the concept and method. Developed by Prof. Manu Kapur, this approach has been studied in classrooms since 2006.
Is LearnPF’s AI a homework solver?
No. It’s our own model, fine-tuned for Productive Failure tutoring. It guides students without revealing the answer, by asking them to explain their thinking and working through their attempts.
