Mathigon functions much the same as a classic math textbook in the content it covers, but it presents the materials in a new, engaging, and exciting way for students. Teachers can use it to supplement their lessons (like a typical textbook), to highlight foundational subjects for students who may have gaps, to assign additional readings to those who want to learn more than what's in the curriculum, or to brush up on their own knowledge. Without a dashboard, teachers will have to find creative ways to monitor students' learning.
Watch the videos to the right to get introduced to Mathigon.
