Accessibility

Math Pages aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA on its web pages. This statement reports a self-assessment made on 29 October 2026. No outside auditor has reviewed the site.

One page of each kind was checked: the home page, a topic page (multiplication worksheets), a grade page (3rd grade), a game (Math Facts Drop), a flash-card page, a quiz and this site's privacy page. Each was checked at desktop and phone widths with the axe automated checker, running its WCAG 2.1 A and AA rules, and again with the analytics banner shown to visitors in Europe. The settings panel, the Print and Download buttons, the options sheet on phones and the game were also worked through with the keyboard alone. Each page was also checked at 320 pixels wide for text that runs off the side of the screen.

The checker found two problems, and both were fixed before this statement was published. Two sets of number-range buttons shared the same element ids. The Answer key switch also carried an attribute a switch may not have, which can make a screen reader announce it as the wrong kind of control. The keyboard check added a “Skip to main content” link as the first stop on every page, and a visible outline when the worksheet preview has focus. With those changes the checker reports no WCAG A or AA failures on the pages above.

What works: every control reached in the keyboard check can be used without a mouse and shows where focus is. The options sheet on a phone takes focus when it opens, and Escape closes it. Text passes the checker's colour-contrast rule. Nothing on these pages scrolls sideways at phone width, apart from the row of quick-setting buttons on a worksheet page, which scrolls within itself.

What does not conform. The printable worksheets are PDFs without tags, so a screen reader cannot read the problems on a sheet or its answer key. The on-screen flash cards and quizzes give the same facts as ordinary page text, and they are the way to practise the facts with a screen reader. The games are played against the clock, because that is the game; every quiz has an untimed option. The PDF preview itself was not checked, since it is shown by the browser's own PDF viewer.

Not yet checked: the site has not been tested with a screen reader. The automated checker confirms that controls have names and roles, but not how the pages sound in use. Pages not named above were not checked one by one; they are built from the same few templates. This statement will be updated when a screen-reader check is done, and whenever a new kind of page is added.

If something on the site gets in your way, email mathpageshelp@gmail.com with the page, what you were trying to do, and the device, browser and any assistive technology you use. It will be treated as a bug, and fixed or added to this page.
