Over the past year, Age of Learning’s new Schools Division has been successfully rolling out My Math Academy—an innovative personalized, adaptive math program for pre-K through second grade—in schools and districts across the U.S. Pilot programs have included the Los Angeles Unified School District, Chapel Hill Academy, Lakeport Unified School District, and EPIC Charter Schools, where it has driven significant gains in students’ math skills.
But it’s the company’s latest pilot program in a relatively small district that’s been garnering outsized excitement and interest. More than 900 mostly economically disadvantaged pre-K students in the Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District in Texas, started using My Math Academy during the pandemic in the fall of 2020. As reported on the Government Technology magazine website, “math skills more than doubled for 4-year-old pre-K students and tripled for 3-year-olds. The average pre-K student aged 4 is now at mid-kindergarten level, while the average pre-K student aged 3 is approaching kindergarten-level math skills.”
According to the Director of Early Childhood for the school district, My Math Academy, which includes a robust teacher dashboard, is giving teachers unparalleled insights into the learning needs of each individual student. She also praised the program for allowing students to learn at their own pace and giving teachers more flexibility to move towards a more individualized approach to instruction.
