"Heinemann is delighted to bring this award-winning adaptive math learning program to teachers and students across the country for the first time," said Maggie DeMont, general manager of Heinemann. "Matific will enhance our existing math portfolio with highly engaging game-based activities to increase student motivation and cutting-edge learning technology to boost math outcomes."

This new integration on Heinemann's' Flight platform and content-based pairing with Do the Math and Math Expressions creates an opportunity for engaging personalized learning within a trusted instructional framework. Matific's embedded assessment features will also allow teachers to quickly evaluate students' problem-solving skills and critical thinking abilities, identify areas where students may be struggling and make data-informed instructional decisions to drive student progress.

"Matific is thrilled to partner with Heinemann, uniting our world-leading math education technology with their renowned products, Do the Math and Math Expressions," said Craig Shotland, CEO of Matific. "This collaboration marks a pivotal moment, emphasizing our shared commitment to pedagogical excellence, ensuring that our resources complement and enhance Heinemann's approach.
