What MATHia is
MATHia is adaptive math software for middle- and high-school students, offering 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 skills. Educators can use reports covering sessions, skills, student details, standards, APLSE, and leadership outcomes. LiveLab indicates whether students are working or idle and sends alerts when they 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, and supports Windows, macOS, iPadOS, Android tablets, and Chromebook browsers. Access through Clever and ClassLink roster integration are described in support materials. Pricing is on request. Phones and other small devices are not recommended, and pop-up blockers must be disabled for access.
