Teachers utilize the rich data from Derivita to inform their instructional decisions and tailor their teaching to meet the needs of each student.

"As a father of five kids and someone who calls Utah home, I am proud of Derivita and of the work we have done to partner with teachers, students, parents, and district leaders across the state. The Utah STEM Action Center's K-12 Personalized Math Software grant program will allow us to greatly scale those efforts and reach even more students in the years to come," comments Devlin Daley, CEO and co-founder of Derivita.
