What We Do
Mathspace is on a mission to personalize mathematics instruction, learning and assessment.
Our adaptive algorithm tailors mathematics learning pathways in real-time based on a student’s strengths and knowledge gaps. As a student develops mathematics skills on Mathspace, individual questions and topics adjust to the appropriate rigour.
For students, Mathspace feels much like a personal tutor. Students get instructional support at each step of problem solving. Hints and video lessons are mapped to each independent practice question.
Teachers can promote self-directed learning, or assign custom practice for their students. With national curricula from a number countries, teachers have access to up-to-date digital materials that adapt to each student’s unique needs.
