Thursday, August 29, 2024
Amplify Desmos Math is a curiosity-driven core program that builds lifelong proficiency in math
BROOKLYN, N.Y., Aug. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Amplify, a publisher of next-generation curriculum and assessment programs, today released Amplify Desmos Math, a new, curiosity-driven K-12 core math program that builds students' lifelong math proficiency. The program's lessons are standards-aligned, easy to use, and fully customizable by educators. Amplify Desmos Math expands on the Desmos Math 6-8 curriculum, which is featured in a recent efficacy study led by WestEd that demonstrates increased math achievement across more than 900 schools in nine states.
Every Amplify Desmos Math lesson includes suggestions for differentiation that support, strengthen, and stretch student understanding. The program combines the best problem-based lessons with tightly aligned personalized practice, assessments, and intervention, creating an integrated experience for teachers and students that includes:
-- Core instruction: Amplify Desmos Math lessons provide a structured
approach to problem-based learning, where each lesson builds on
students' curiosity using a Proficiency Progression(TM) to develop
lasting grade-level understanding for all students.
-- Screening and progress monitoring: mCLASS(®) assessments and daily
formative checks measure what students know and how they think. The
asset-based assessment system provides teachers with targeted,
actionable insights, linked to core instruction and intervention
resources.
-- Integrated personalized learning: Boost(TM) Personalized Learning
activities help students access grade-level math through engaging,
independent digital practice. The program's signature Responsive
Feedback(TM) adjusts to students' work, providing item-level adaptivity
to further support their learning.
-- Embedded intervention: Integrated resources like Mini-Lessons and math
fluency games provide targeted intervention on specific concepts or
skills connected to the daily lesson. Extensions are also available to
stretch students' understanding.
"Engagement is a real challenge in math classrooms," said Jason Zimba, Amplify Chief Academic Officer of STEM. "Knowing this, we created a program with interesting problems that students are eager to solve, one that keeps them engaged and learning. Amplify Desmos Math achieves rigor and delight, motivating all students to explore new horizons and develop new understanding."
To complement robust printed materials, Amplify Desmos Math leverages a digital platform that enables educators and students to connect with one another as they work through lessons, engage in personalized learning, and check for understanding. The interactive platform and facilitation tools foster mathematical discussions and allow educators to see student thinking in real time.
"Right now, teachers have to jump between platforms to access meaningful data, understand it, and use it," said Alexandra Walsh, Amplify Chief Product Officer. "By combining instruction, assessment, and differentiation on the same digital platform, we've made student data more accessible, so educators can spend less time toggling and more time responding to student needs."
Amplify Desmos Math is available:
-- Kindergarten-Algebra 1
-- As a beta release for the 2024-2025 school year, for pilot
implementations and early adoptions
