"Matific will enhance our existing math portfolio with highly engaging game-based activities to increase student motivation and cutting-edge learning technology to boost math outcomes."

This new integration on Heinemann's' Flight platform and content-based pairing with Do the Math and Math Expressions creates an opportunity for engaging personalized learning within a trusted instructional framework. Matific's embedded assessment features will also allow teachers to quickly evaluate students' problem-solving skills and critical thinking abilities, identify areas where students may be struggling and make data-informed instructional decisions to drive student progress.

"Matific is thrilled to partner with Heinemann, uniting our world-leading math education technology with their renowned products, Do the Math and Math Expressions," said Craig Shotland, CEO of Matific. "This collaboration marks a pivotal moment, emphasizing our shared commitment to pedagogical excellence, ensuring that our resources complement and enhance Heinemann's approach.
