Math Academy
@_MathAcademy_
Master math 4x more efficiently than a traditional classroom. Individualized, adaptive, AI-powered and fully automated. Accredited courses 4th grade-University.
2024 has been a transformative year for MA and in reflecting back, two things have stood out to me as being particularly moving. First, the unwavering dedication and unequaled talent of our team. Most of them joined us when we were not much more than a program in a small school…
my newly homeschooled 3rd grader has to do ~monthly checkins with a teacher to measure progress. in one month, kid went from 88% thru 4th grade math to 45% thru 5th. Math Academy is so much more efficient than school i feel sheepish even showing the teacher these numbers
We use Math Academy as our primary 4th-12th grade math curriculum. Highly recommended.
Some more question previews for the upcoming differential equations course. This one is about analyzing the phase portraits of homogeneous linear systems of ODEs with real, distinct eigenvalues.
People are asking when Differential Equations will be launched. I was really happy last year when we managed to launch Probability & Statistics just before Christmas (literally on Christmas Eve!) 🎅 It'll be tight, but we're shooting for the same this year for the DE course.
We are very excited to announce that our Probability & Statistics course is now live and available for registration!
The infinity stones of applied math are almost in place. Our Differential Equations course is well underway. Last course to complete the core engineering math sequence.
On the subject of Laplace Transforms, our Differential Equations course is well underway. I'm excited about this one. Here's a sneak peek.
We are now beta testing our SAT Prep course, designed to prepare students for what they will experience on the SAT exam itself! Read Alex's @ninja_maths detailed, under-the-hood description of the course and our process.
Apologies for the radio silence from me over the past few months. I've been insanely busy with little time for updates. But since it's my birthday today (yay me) and we just hit a few major milestones, I thought today would be a good time for an update. Over the past four…
A feature request we get from time to time is to select specific topics to study. Gravity coming soon!
Here's a screenshot of a new feature we're preparing to roll out to some beta testers called Gravity. With it, you'll be able to prioritize one or more topics (as well as any missing prerequisites along their respective learning paths) by "adding gravity" to them. There's a lot…
Helping your child with their lessons? We want the system to be measuring your student's knowledge profile, not yours.
“Overhelping” is a pathology of the over-involved parent/tutor. “Hold on! Are you sure? Let’s double-check that step before you go on.” If you’re saying stuff like that in real time as your student works out a problem, then you’re probably overhelping. @exojason and I see this…
Love when MA is a family activity! "My two boys and I are all working on Calc BC together, and it has been a blast."
“What was that Feynman joke with the French curves again?” my older kid asked me as he was finishing up his Math Academy work. I read "Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!" to them before they started calculus, so the bit with the French curves, where he catches his college…
The vision for version 2.0 of @_MathAcademy_'s spaced repetition system: account for and discourage reference reliance. Spaced repetition is “wait”-lifting and reference material is your spotter. If your spotter had to help you get the weight up, you didn’t complete the rep, and…
First clip from the first ever @_MathAcademy_ Q&A: @exojason’s philosophy of breadth-first development. 1. Ask yourself: “If we could clone ourselves and do everything in parallel, what’s all the stuff we’d be working on?” 2. Start doing as many of those things as you can…
Emails like this make my week! "I never do this, but wanted to take a moment to acknowledge how great Math Academy has been for my son. He goes to a school with a pretty slow curriculum and despite being a bright kid, has underperformed on standardized assessments. We started…
Up-skilling in mathematics for machine learning shows up in ways that you might not have expected during my day job For example, its unlikely that I’d be calculating derivatives or doing multi-variable calculus but the main benefits going to depth like this on @_MathAcademy_ is…
Animations of your personal knowledge graph coming soon!
Knowledge graph animations are a powerful way to show how a student’s knowledge develops and solidifies over time as they progress through a course. One of our students is preparing for the SAT in November and is sprinting toward the end of our SAT Fundamentals course. This…
Love to hear about kids bragging about their XP!
I raved to a friend about @_MathAcademy_, so she signed her kid up. Later, I heard through the grapevine that the kid told their math teacher, the teacher loved it, and apparently their entire advanced math group is now doing MA. Instead of comparing video game scores, they’re…
Amusing moment from the Joe Liemandt interview re college being more than academics: "My daughter's [at Stanford] now as a freshman ... and she's like, 'I am going to start skipping class ... @_MathAcademy_ is a way better math app than my math lecture, and I'll just use that.'"
Lost my streak for a while, but finally finished up the full Mathematical Foundations series on @_MathAcademy_ ! Despite having both a BS and an MS in Math, I had a lot of gaps in my knowledge stemming from subpar elementary, middle school, and high school educations that I had…
tomorrow is my 1y @_MathAcademy_ anniversary. 97% through MFIII, i'll sprint for the finish by tomorrow. the most exciting part: it's not the beginning of the end, but the end of a beginning. next year, i'll turn 40. not gonna lie, there were many moments during the program i…
There is tons of renewed energy around education thanks to @patrick_oshag’s wonderful write up and podcast on @AlphaSchoolATX. For those curious in learning more, I can’t recommend @justinskycak’s book on education principles highly enough. It warps your brain!…
It’s shocking how much we know about how learning happens, all the way down to the mechanics of what’s going on in the brain. And it’s not just how learning happens, but also, what we can do to improve learning. There are plenty of learning-enhancing practice strategies that…
Why do schools keep chasing every new educational trend when decades of proven research already show us what works? 🧵⬇️
