Check out what a principal has to say about Mathletics engaging students:
“Mathletics has engaged and encouraged all of my middle school students to become confident mathematicians. For the students that have always had success in math, the program is set to reach and extend their learning to maximize their potential. As for my students that have never been able ‘to do’ math or never ‘got it’ they have be able to feel success and want to learn and be challenged to more difficult material. Parents cannot believe their child (ren) wanting to do their math homework.
The goal for my students was to engage and feel they can be successful in math….Mathletics made that happen and unlocked many of our students’ potential and more importantly their confidence in math.” – Principal, Sir William Gage Middle School, ON
