In their own words
MATHia
MATHia is adaptive math software for middle- and high-school students, providing individual support, real-time feedback and assessments. It responds to student actions with skill-by-skill feedback and contextual hints, while a Progress Meter shows progress across multiple skills. Reports cover sessions, skills, student details, standards, APLSE and leadership information. LiveLab shows whether students are working or idle and can alert educators when learners need support or reach milestones. Listed courses include Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II and Integrated Math I–III, with RTI support. MATHia is intended for grades 6–8 and 9–12. It supports Windows, macOS, iPadOS, Android tablets and Chromebooks through a web browser. Phones and other small devices are not recommended, and pop-up blockers must be turned off to access the software. Access through Clever, including SAML/SSO and Instant Login, and ClassLink roster integration are documented. Pricing is available on request; no public price is listed.
