Math

Achieve supports deeper mathematical learning through dynamic homework tools, adaptive practice, and guided problem-solving designed to build conceptual understanding and mastery. Key assessment tools include:

• AI Tutor guides students through challenging problems using a Socratic, question-driven approach that builds reasoning, strengthens multistep problem-solving, and deepens conceptual understanding.
• Math Palette adapts to each question with relevant symbols, expressions, and shortcuts so students stay focused on solving the problem, not the formatting.
• LearningCurve Adaptive Quizzing adapts to each student’s performance, identifies learning gaps, and links to e-book content for quick concept review.
• Interactive videos with assessments offer whiteboard-style walkthroughs, prerequisite review, and expert-led tutorials, including content from Patrick JMT, and give students visual models of how to break down multistep problems.
• Customizable assessments allow instructors to edit questions, feedback, and algorithmic variations to tailor difficulty, create multiple versions, and align homework with course needs.
• Respondus® LockDown Browser Integration provides a secure and trustworthy testing environment for math tests and quizzes.
• iClicker makes math classes more interactive with live polling and math-focused question types, including numeric and symbolic formats. It helps instructors check understanding and reveal misconceptions before they become barriers to learning.

Desmos-powered graphing tools help students visualize mathematical relationships and develop stronger conceptual understanding.

• Graded Graphing homework exercises let students plot points, graph functions, manipulate values, and answer follow-up questions directly within an assignment.
• Dynamic Figures, embedded in the e-book, allow students to manipulate book-specific values and instantly see changes in graphs. Additional Guided Learn and Practice assessments help students connect symbolic, numerical, and graphical representations.

Achieve is continually improving to meet the needs of today’s classrooms. Here’s a look at what’s coming in Spring 2026:

• Peer Connector helps students get to know each other by responding to short prompts and discovering shared interests or commonalities with peers. These small moments of connection foster community, build inclusive, supportive learning environments, and are correlated with improved learner performance.
• Short-form Writing adds AI-powered tools that help instructors create stronger prompts and rubrics (Short Form Writing Creator, Beta) and streamline grading through rubric-aligned evaluations and transparent, reviewable feedback (Short Form Writing Analyzer, Beta).
• New Algebra Assessment Questions add approximately 1,700 new questions to support prerequisite fluency across introductory math courses, helping instructors close skill gaps and prepare students for success in higher-level coursework.
