Proven Classroom Results

My Math Academy is built on learning sciences research and has been proven in multiple efficacy studies to significantly accelerate math skills and learning gains. In addition to finding it an efficient, time-saving tool for math mastery in the classroom, teachers have reported increased student engagement, interest, and confidence in learning math.

Students Love It

Independent research conducted by WestEd showed that students were excited to spend time on My Math Academy, and they commonly used it for more than the recommended minimum amount of time per week. Teachers also reported a significant impact on students’ affinity for math and learner identity.

Multiple Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs)

My Math Academy has been proven to work through multiple RCTs. WestEd, an independent educational research nonprofit, completed two RCTs with nearly 1,500 students to evaluate the effectiveness of My Math Academy. Their research confirmed that My Math Academy accelerates math learning, increases students’ engagement in math, and 100% of teachers plan to continue using the program and find it easy to use.

“I noticed that [My Math Academy explains] things before they start playing the game . . . that was helpful to them. Even when a student said it was hard . . . they weren't coming and asking me how to do it. They knew they needed to keep playing because the game would help them figure it out. . . . I thought that was really good . . . to train the kids . . . to know that the [program] will show you how to do it, you just have to keep playing.”

“It has to be engaging. And with My Math Academy, I’ve already seen that . . . engagement and content. You can’t have one without the other. We [teachers] are entertainers. . . If you don’t have the entertainment and engagement [in an app], it’s like, ‘Okay, see you later.’”

“Kids need to feel engaged . . . they need the bright colors, they need the Shapeys, they need the circus . . . that’s what I love about this.”

Backed by Research
