Math can be an intimidating subject to learn and one that kids either like or dislike. Learning math online can take some pressure off and allow children to absorb the information more effectively. With the right patience, kids can see the possibilities of math and how useful it is in their studies and daily life.

When the Wolfram plugin is given Wolfram Language code, what it does is basically just to evaluate that code, and return the result—perhaps as a graphic or math formula, or just text.
