The perfect low-cost digital tool for calculus

The perfect companion for OpenStax or other open educational resources, Macmillan’s new online learning tool Achieve Essentials for Calculus gives your calculus students the practice and guidance they need to develop strong problem-solving skills.

Achieve Essentials for Calculus offers over 6,000 homework questions—conceptual and computational—that test a range of skills and topics in Calculus I, II, and III. It provides detailed or answer-specific feedback and fully-worked solutions for every question, which coaches students toward understanding core calculus principles and applications.

Achieve Essentials for Calculus includes Dynamic Figures (powered by Desmos) and CalcClip problem-solving videos to help students build their foundational comprehension before moving onto more advanced problems. Its grading function is a real time-saver, while its custom question authoring tool and intuitive course management features let instructors shape the content to fit the way they want to teach.

Features

Achieve is a comprehensive set of interconnected teaching and assessment tools, using a foundation of learning research and rigorous testing.

  • Over 6,000 questions with hints, answer-specific feedback targeted to common student mistakes and misconceptions, and a fully worked solution. Question types include:
    • Multiple choice
    • Ranking
    • Sorting
    • Numeric entry
    • Mathematical expression entry
    • Multi-part questions
    • Free response
  • The intuitive math palette allows simple entry of symbolic notation, as well as commonly used keyboard shortcuts.
  • Advanced question authoring allows instructors to create their own assessment problems with hints, feedback, solutions, and algorithmically generated values.
  • Macmillan’s math assessment engine in Achieve uses SymPy and a proprietary algebraic parser to accept every valid equivalent answer to a given problem. Additionally, instructors can set parameters on a given question to enforce specific forms of an answer, like simplified or factored form.
  • Guided Learn and Practice assignments help students lay a strong conceptual foundation and are available as suggested pre-class assignments. Guided Learn and Practice includes
    • Dynamic Figures: Powered by Desmos, Dynamic Figures encourage students to manipulate figures and toggle sliders on graphs, deeping their understanding of graphical relationships and visual representations of concepts. Dynamic Figures include directions and associated assessment questions, and many include how-to videos.
    • CalcClips: These whiteboard-style videos of relevant problems take students through common problem types step by step.
  • Additional math review is available.
  • Integration with campus LMS is available upon request.
