Student materials include interactive textbooks, video lessons, practice questions, adaptive tasks, and diagnostic skills check-ins.

Teachers can create or assign tasks, use automatic marking, and review reports spanning class insights and individual work steps. Mathspace lists Canvas, Clever, and SchoolsPLP as LMS integrations. With Canvas, school administrators manage classes, and some teacher controls, including adding a parent email, are unavailable. A free account allows one class of up to 30 students. Classes costs $8 a year per student, and Schools costs $15 a year per student; eligible schools can try Classes or Schools Plus for 30 days without commitment. The student iOS app is recommended for iPads, while the web app is recommended for teachers on desktop or laptop and students who cannot use iOS.
