Carnegie Learning MATHia Software powered by Cognitive Tutor for Middle School - Carnegie Learning, Inc.
Carnegie Learning's MATHia Software, powered by the Cognitive Tutor artificial intelligence engine, identifies strengths and weaknesses in individual student's conceptual understanding and mastery of math concepts. Built on research about student motivation and active learning, MATHia features a student dashboard, which creates a personalized learning environment based on student interests and preferences. Features include animated characters, badge gallery, dynamic lesson maps, messages of the day, just-in-time hints, see-it try-it's, step by step interactive examples, and fluency challenges. Formative assessment is embedded in the Skillometer, which differentiates instruction for individual students broken down into multiple aspects of a skill or concept. The tool is used as a visual gauge of student understanding and tracks progress at granular levels for individual concepts. Students progress to more advanced levels as they demonstrate understanding through activities and practice. The "island theme" simulates their math journey as they complete and move on to different math content modules. Additional student support is offered through a Spanish/English Glossary and Text to Speech functionality. Administrator features include comprehensive reporting and data analysis. The comprehensive MATHia technology solution delivers a middle school math solution designed to propel middle school students to math mastery through an exciting, personalized journey.
i-Ready answers 'why' plus delivers 'what's next,' showing teachers the specific skills to address and providing instruction to teach these skills.
At the start of the program, students are immediately engaged in their learning experience through the opportunity to select an avatar and exciting backgrounds, including NBA themes.
Built specifically for the Common Core, i-Ready uses a computer-adaptive algorithm to ensure students are assessed efficiently across multiple grade-levels in both reading and mathematics. Reports provide immediate information on students' skill mastery and next steps for instruction, helping teachers to save time and to understand the root cause of student challenges.
Based on the diagnostic results, students are automatically placed into engaging instruction at their level.
Students aren't just practicing problems; rather a consistent instructional routine delivers differentiated instruction. Each tutorial provides explicit instruction on a skill or concept, delivered by animated, diverse characters in real-world scenarios. Students may learn about making inferences by investigating an oil spill or chart histograms while trekking through the jungle. Throughout the module, students apply what they've learned and receive corrective feedback to reinforce understanding. A graded activity is used to monitor progress.
Teachers can provide further instruction in small groups using immediately downloadable lessons.

Ko's Journey - Florida Virtual School- Global Services Division
Ko’s Journey is an educational game intended for middle school math students. Ko is a young girl who is thrown into a rite of passage journey to seek out her kin. She encounters many obstacles along her journey, such as saving a wolf pup by mixing medicinal plants in specific ratios. These obstacles use everyday units of measure (math), all while demystifying the complexity of math. Each obstacle makes sense within the context of the storyline itself and presents real-life scenarios allowing the learner to gradually learn math concepts. Live, humorous videos of students on a ‘journey’ of their own are also used to discuss and reiterate the use of these measures and how they relate to everyday life. The most important aspect of the game is its ability to build context around math that is meaningful. Most games have a disconnected mechanic, such as 5+5=10, then an asteroid blows up; this is not teaching in context. Ko’s Journey differs in that it is building bridge curriculum which is essential to the learner. Lastly, Ko’s is designed to build confidence in math abilities by using everyday objects and measures leading to higher comprehension and understanding.
digits is the first middle school mathematics core curriculum that leverages technology to personalize learning and optimize instructional time.
Written entirely to the Common Core State Standards, digits integrates lesson planning, homework management, intervention and assessment, all within a user-friendly design that encourages collaboration via interactive whiteboards. digits streamlines instruction through point-of-need resources that are intuitive for teachers, optimize effective time on task, and allows them to address the individual needs of every student – in and out of class. In addition to providing a customized learning path for each student, these efficiencies result in about twice as much instructional time for teachers, when compared with traditional middle school math courses.
digits engages middle grades math students with a constant focus on real-world-based learning not only with the structure of the problems within, but also with student guides. Called Understanding by Design hosts,they steer learners through each lesson in a humorous fashion and help deepen their understanding of mathematical concepts. These hosts pop up in videos embedded in the lessons, making jokes and explaining concepts to students.
Reasoning Mind (RM) is a nonprofit changing the paradigm of math education. In RM classrooms, artificial intelligence carefully simulates the practices of expert math teachers. Our rigorous 2nd-6th grade Web-based curriculum uses technology to make learning as engaging as possible with a colorful, animated world that captures students' imaginations.
As early as 2nd grade, we begin priming students by introducing and developing algebraic concepts. We take an inquiry-based approach to learning; new ideas are introduced by working through examples, encouraging the student to understand generalizations intuitively. As students submit answers, RM differentiates and adjusts paths of learning to ensure that each child is challenged appropriately, averaging nearly 90% time on task.
Our program manages teachers' time and leverages their expertise, enabling personalized instruction. The teacher interface allows access to vast amounts of information and updates data in real time. It also creates assignments and grades them automatically, so teachers can spend five times more of their class time working one-on-one with individual students.
Our reports help parents, teachers, and administrators identify trends in student learning and potential areas for assistance and enrichment. Students and teachers can access Reasoning Mind anywhere.
Slate Science transforms mobile devices into interactive, adaptable teaching and learning platforms, targeting K-5 students.
Slate Math a modular repository of interactive learning units, each designed to endow a specific mathematical insight or impart a specific mathematical skill. Each learning unit is cast as a 5-15 Minute mini-app that engages the student in a problem solving task involving quantitative reasoning.
