A new, curiosity-driven K–12 program that builds students’ lifelong math proficiency
Meet èßäAV Desmos Math. Our structured approach to problem-based learning systematically builds on students’ curiosity to develop lasting grade-level understanding.
Connect with an expertMath that motivates
Picture a classroom where students are so eagerly engaged in a lesson, they wish it wouldn’t end. The room is buzzing with the sounds of natural curiosity. This is what an èßäAV Desmos Math classroom looks and sounds like. This is math that motivates.
A structured approach to problem-based learning
èßäAV Desmos Math combines and connects conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and application. Lessons are designed with the Proficiency Progressionâ„¢, a model that provides teachers with clear instructional moves to build from students’ prior knowledge to grade-level learning.
A powerful suite of math resources
èßäAV Desmos Math combines the best of problem-based lessons, intervention, personalized practice, and assessments into a coherent and engaging experience for both students and teachers.
Data informs instruction. Comprehensive student profiles provide full data on students’ assets and skills, empowering teachers to provide just-in-time scaffolds throughout core instruction and targeted intervention when needed.

Student thinking is valuable and can be made evident.
We believe that math class is a place where teachers can elicit, celebrate, and build on their students’ interesting ideas. Those ideas fuel meaningful classroom conversations and drive the learning process.
Robust assessments that drive learning and inform instruction
A variety of performance data in èßäAV Desmos Math provides evidence of student learning, while helping students bolster their skills. With explicit guidance on what to look for and how to respond, teachers can effectively support students as they develop their understanding.

Diagnostic screening and progress monitoring assessments identify what students know and can do.
Integrated mCLASS® Assessments go beyond accuracy to reveal students’ math thinking through an asset-based approach. This data provides better insights about what students know, what math assets to leverage, and where students need support.
Reporting and insights
Teachers and administrators have visibility into what students know about grade-level math with a variety of data reports. By evaluating not only what students know about grade-level math but also providing insight into how they think, teachers can confidently plan whole-class instruction and targeted intervention.
