BROOKLYN, NY (August 21, 2024) – ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµapp, a publisher of next-generation curriculum and assessment programs, today released ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµapp Desmos Math, a new, curiosity-driven K–12 core math program that builds ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµapp’ lifelong math proficiency. The program’s lessons are standards-aligned, easy to use, and fully customizable by educators. ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµapp Desmos Math expands on the Desmos Math 6–8 curriculum, which is featured in a recent efficacy study led by WestEd that demonstrates increased math achievement across more than 900 ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµapp in nine states.
Every ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµapp Desmos Math lesson includes suggestions for differentiation that support, strengthen, and stretch student understanding. The program combines the best problem-based lessons with tightly aligned personalized practice, assessments, and intervention, creating an integrated experience for teachers and ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµapp that includes:
- Core instruction: ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµapp Desmos Math lessons provide a structured approach to problem-based learning, where each lesson builds on ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµapp’ curiosity using a Proficiency Progression™ to develop lasting grade-level understanding for all ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµapp.
- Screening and progress monitoring: mCLASS® assessments and daily formative checks measure what ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµapp know and how they think. The asset-based assessment system provides teachers with targeted, actionable insights, linked to core instruction and intervention resources.
- Integrated personalized learning: Boost Personalized Learning activities help ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµapp access grade-level math through engaging, independent digital practice. The program’s signature Responsive Feedback™ adjusts to ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµapp’ work, providing item-level adaptivity to further support their learning.
- Embedded intervention: Integrated resources like Mini-Lessons and math fluency games provide targeted intervention on specific concepts or skills connected to the daily lesson. Extensions are also available to stretch ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµapp’ understanding.
“Engagement is a real challenge in math classrooms,” said Jason Zimba, ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµapp Chief Academic Officer of STEM. “Knowing this, we created a program with interesting problems that ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµapp are eager to solve, one that keeps them engaged and learning. ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµapp Desmos Math achieves rigor and delight, motivating all ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµapp to explore new horizons and develop new understanding.”
To complement robust printed materials, ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµapp Desmos Math leverages a digital platform that enables educators and ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµapp to connect with one another as they work through lessons, engage in personalized learning, and check for understanding. The interactive platform and facilitation tools foster mathematical discussions and allow educators to see student thinking in real time.
“Right now, teachers have to jump between platforms to access meaningful data, understand it, and use it,” said Alexandra Walsh, ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµapp Chief Product Officer. “By combining instruction, assessment, and differentiation on the same digital platform, we’ve made student data more accessible, so educators can spend less time toggling and more time responding to student needs.”
