Magma Math has been a great asset to my classroom. So often technological platforms that incorporate math do so on a very thin layer. There is usually a question with a very precise answer and kids know wether they got it wrong. Magma Math provides so much more than this. In this program students are engaged consistently. They have to show all their work before they can submit an answer, and every students work/progress can be accessed using a heat map. Not only are you able to access a students progress in terms of success with the topic but you can play back students work. Allowing you to show the whole class how a student arrived at their answer and even compare how another student may have used a different skill to arrive at the same answer. I would strongly encourage this platform to any educator teaching math because it takes an interactive approach that most mathematical programs do not. Since using this program my students consistently ask to go on the ipads and use Magma Math. When the period is coming to an end they get frustrated that it is time to close up and put it away. They want to sit and do more math!, which from some students is unheard of. It is flexible in its material, there is an array of questions to choose from and you can even add your own questions in to better serve your classrooms needs.
