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.
Delightful digital activities and tools
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.”
