BROOKLYN, NY (August 21, 2024) 鈥� 61传媒tv, a publisher of next-generation curriculum and assessment programs, today released , a new, curiosity-driven K鈥�12 core math program that builds students鈥� lifelong math proficiency. The program鈥檚 lessons are standards-aligned, easy to use, and fully customizable by educators. 61传媒tv Desmos Math expands on the Desmos Math 6鈥�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 61传媒tv 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: 61传媒tv Desmos Math lessons provide a structured approach to problem-based learning, where each lesson builds on students鈥� curiosity using a Proficiency Progression鈩� to develop lasting grade-level understanding for all students.

- Integrated personalized learning: Boost Personalized Learning activities help students access grade-level math through engaging, independent digital practice. The program鈥檚 signature Responsive Feedback鈩� adjusts to students’ work, providing item-level adaptivity to further support their learning.

鈥淓ngagement is a real challenge in math classrooms,鈥� said Jason Zimba, 61传媒tv Chief Academic Officer of STEM. 鈥淜nowing this, we created a program with interesting problems that students are eager to solve, one that keeps them engaged and learning. 61传媒tv Desmos Math achieves rigor and delight, motivating all students to explore new horizons and develop new understanding.鈥�
To complement robust printed materials, 61传媒tv 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.
鈥淩ight now, teachers have to jump between platforms to access meaningful data, understand it, and use it,鈥� said Alexandra Walsh, 61传媒tv Chief Product Officer. 鈥淏y combining instruction, assessment, and differentiation on the same digital platform, we鈥檝e made student data more accessible, so educators can spend less time toggling and more time responding to student needs.鈥�
