Magma Math
Magma Math is an AI-powered math learning platform for K–12 classrooms that enhances instruction and accelerates student growth. Built on good math pedagogy and aligned to state standards, Magma Math enables students to show their thinking clearly while building confidence as problem-solvers.
Students benefit from instant grading and real-time feedback, while teachers gain access to classwide data and insights to better facilitate instruction and respond to student needs. Designed with both teachers and students in mind, Magma Math is accessible in 140+ languages with text-to-speech and supported by chat support with under three-minute response times, ensuring educators and learners always have the help they need.
Built on Evidence
Magma Math holds the ESSA Tier II evidence seal — one of the highest levels of evidence under federal education research guidelines — demonstrating a statistically significant positive impact on student achievement. The platform is also approved by the Building Thinking Classrooms framework developed by Peter Liljedahl.
Results from district partners:
● 40% overall proficiency growth (Alabaster, AL)
● 3x more proficient than non-Magma students (Campbell Union, CA)
● 73% of teachers report higher student engagement since using Magma
● 87% of teachers say Magma helps them be a more effective teacher
● 71% of teachers save 1–4 hours per week
How Districts Use Magma Math
Magma Math is a complementary tool that works alongside core curricula — not in place of it. Teachers primarily use it in three ways:
● Formative Assessment — Entry/exit tickets and checks for understanding, with 90,000+ state-aligned problems and automatic grading so teachers spend more time with students.
● Number Talks — Short discussions guided by real student work, with tools to surface misconceptions and reduce math anxiety during whole-class conversations.
● Differentiated Practice — Targeted assignments using handpicked problems or AI-driven adaptive practice with hints to keep students engaged.
Magma Math is also frequently used for station work and homework.
