makeammat

Makeammat is a software framework and content ecosystem for automating the creation of annotated mathematics materials. It targets printable worksheets, interactive notebooks, and modular teaching mats, prioritizing reusability, localization, and accessibility for educators, researchers, and publishers who need scalable, language-aware math content.

Its architecture is modular and plugin-based. Core elements include a templating engine, a library of math templates, and a plugin API that adds features such as auto-solution hints, step-by-step renderings, and adaptive problem sets. Outputs can be exported as PDF, HTML, or ePub and integrated with learning platforms.

Makeammat originated in open-source education circles in the early 2020s. It is released under a permissive license, with contributions from universities, schools, and independent developers. The project maintains a public roadmap and a registry of community-created templates and plugins.

Common use cases include generating bulk problem sets, creating adaptive worksheets, and producing classroom mats—comprehensive teaching aids that combine problems, hints, and visuals in printable or digital form. It supports LaTeX-style math rendering, MathML, and Unicode, and aims for consistent formatting across materials.

Reception has been cautiously positive in education technology circles, noting time savings and content consistency. Critics cite a learning curve and the need for careful curation of templates. Ongoing development focuses on expanding templates, improving assessment features, and enhancing interoperability with other platforms.
