Installing MLC Web Apps

MLC’s Math Web Apps are Progressive Web Apps (PWAs). This means they can be installed like a native app on certain platforms and used when offline. (Note that the sharing feature requires an internet connection.)

Chrome (Chromebook, Mac, Windows) and Edge (Windows):

1. Open the app using the “Open web app” link at https://www.mathlearningcenter.org/apps.
2. Click the install button at the right side of the browser’s address bar.
   • Chrome for desktops and Chromebooks: at the right side of the browser's address bar.
   • Chrome for Android: Click    in the upper-right, then "Add to Home screen."
   • Edge: at the right side of the browser's address bar.
3. Click “Install” in the pop-up to confirm.
