Carnegie Learning Texas Math Solution
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has partnered with Carnegie Learning to provide educators and students with free access to its highly rated middle school and high school content to support continuous learning efforts in the 2020-21 school year and beyond. Educators who choose to participate will receive access to TEKS-aligned curriculum materials and adaptive math learning software, MATHia®, all customized for Texans to access high quality content that works seamlessly between remote and in-classroom environments.

This school year brings new challenges that require flexible instructional models to accommodate both remote and classroom learning. We want you to know that we're here for you. That's why we specifically designed a math solution to help you make sure quality math instruction can continue in the 2020-21 school year and beyond.
Teachers get digital access to clearly articulated, coherent TEKS-aligned units with daily lesson plans that they can use regardless of whether learning happens on campus or at home. Each lesson includes a "Talk the Talk" exit ticket for formative assessment, as well as summative assessments.
Our adaptive 1:1 math learning platform extends the teacher’s reach by mirroring a personal math coach with more complexity and precision than any other math software. Teachers get real-time insight so they know exactly where each student is and where they’re heading at all times. Using sophisticated technology to adapt at every level, MATHia personalizes the learning and keeps students engaged with just-in-time feedback and contextual hints.
MATHia assesses students as they learn, so teachers get real-time data and actionable insights on what to do next, even when students are learning remotely. At a glance, teachers can see what students are working on in the software—including their activity and productivity levels—and which skills they’ve mastered or are struggling with. This insight helps teachers focus on who needs help the most, right in the moment.
Teachers are provided onboarding and training through on-demand and live online workshops as well as access to a robust library of instructional strategy and implementation videos. Students and families get real-time homework help through the LiveHint app, access to Coach on Call services, and instructional videos for every lesson.
In an independent "Gold Standard" study funded by the U.S. Department of Education and conducted by the RAND Corporation that included a Texas school district, the Carnegie Learning blended approach nearly doubled growth in performance on standardized tests relative to typical students in the second year of implementation. This study is more comprehensive and rigorous than any other research study on a middle school or high school mathematics program.
MATHia is the only program that provides clear, deep insight into where students are going, not just where they currently are. The Adaptive Personalized Learning Score (APLSE) Report leverages predictive analysis to give educators a clear projection of where students will be, well in advance of summative assessment results and before it’s too late to intervene with help they need.
Additional MATHia reports, including Skills Reports, Session Reports, and Standards Reports, show how students are mastering TEKS standards, and highlight their progress in the software by tracking things like rate of module completion, time spent, average errors per problem, and more.
LiveLab is the perfect tool for knowing exactly what your students are working on in real-time so you can guide them and intervene accordingly. Dynamic indicators show which students are working or idle at all times, while alerts let you know which students may need additional support. You can also get live notifications to assist students who are having trouble mastering specific skills or completing certain activities, or to recognize students for hitting content progression milestones.
The Progress Bar motivates and empowers students to take ownership of their learning by visually displaying their progress toward multiple skills. As they become more proficient in each skill, the bars increase and change from orange to green. Students gain confidence from seeing their progress, while teachers are able to identify and respond to specific student needs in real time.
