Welcome to the Pytha Draw Support Page
Pytha Draw is an educational mobile game designed to help you build mathematical intuition by drawing functions directly on a graph.
By playing, you progressively master polynomials (degree 1, 2, and 3), along with related concepts such as:
- derivatives
- canonical forms
- roots
- variations
- limits
- comparative growth
If you need guidance or encounter an issue, you are in the right place.
Playing Modes
Pytha Draw includes several game modes, each training a specific mathematical skill.
Classic Mode
Draw the function directly without visual aids. Focus on precision or speed, and discover techniques step by step in Learn mode.
Best for: learning curve-reading and improving drawing accuracy.
Derivative Mode
Draw the function using only its derivative. Each level reveals essential information about how the original function behaves.
Best for: understanding variations and extrema.
Canonical Mode
Transform the equation into a canonical form where the graph becomes directly readable. This makes the curve easier to interpret and draw accurately.
Best for: factorisation, structure recognition, rapid computations.
Addition Mode
Break the expression apart to draw more accurately. Mentally add the missing right part of the equation to reconstruct the perfect curve.
Best for: decomposition, mental manipulation, and precise plotting.
Guess Mode
The game is reversed. Reconstruct the equation from the drawing, only one attempt to get it right.
Best for: linking visual shape to algebraic form.
Learn Mode and Tutorials
Learn Mode is the guided learning path in Pytha Draw. It introduces concepts progressively through short interactive steps, combining:
- clear explanations (what to look for on the graph),
- guided practice (draw with purpose, not by guessing),
- quick checks (mini-questions when needed),
- and immediate feedback (so you learn from each attempt).
What Learn Mode helps you improve
- reading and drawing polynomial curves (degree 1, 2, 3),
- connecting algebra ↔ graph,
- recognizing key features (slope, roots, vertex, extrema),
- and applying techniques used in the other game modes.
How to access Learn Mode
- Open the app and go to Learn.
- Select a tutorial category (Linear, Quadratic, etc.).
- Follow the steps in order.
Tips if a tutorial feels difficult
- Replay the same tutorial a second time: the goal is reflex, not memorization.
- Focus on one key feature per attempt (roots, vertex, slope, extrema).
- Use Learn Mode first, then return to Classic/Derivative/Canonical modes to reinforce.
Progression tracking
As you complete levels, you unlock radar visualizations that help you:
- measure your progress over time
- identify strengths and weaknesses
- target the concepts you want to improve
Your score typically depends on:
- precision (how close you are to the drawn solution)
- speed (how long do you take to draw)
You can also track your performance through:
- global leaderboards
- private leagues with friends or classmates
Data and Account Management
Pytha Draw does not collect personal data. You only choose a username (pseudo) used for:
- ranking
- game progression
- league participation
Delete your data
You can delete all your data directly from the in-app settings. This permanently removes your:
- username
- scores
- radars
- progression
- league participation
No email request is necessary. This action is permanent and cannot be undone.
