Product Description
myBlee Math, a K-6 iPad tool, is the app chosen by teachers, schools, and districts seeking to promote excellence. Crafted by teachers using several different methods such as: Singapore Math, Montessori, etc. and aligned to Common Core standards, TEKS, and other high-quality standards, myBlee Math gathers thousands of exercises, manipulatives, video lessons, and adaptive feedback.
One of the most innovative aspects of myBlee Math's technology is a real, adaptive learning engine. How does it work? It's a combination of 7 million exercises already completed by students around the world plus a massive collaborative filtering system similar to the machine learning techniques used by giants of the tech industry like Google, Amazon and Netflix. It’s Big Data for Education: a large amount of data is collected to create, update and refine the recommendations in real time. Then the recommendations improve, as they are created according to past activities: which exercises were completed, how much time the student spend on the app, and the results obtained by the student. With each module and new results obtained, the algorithm recalculates the personalized module list to adapt to the student’s profile and new results in real time.
Content is available in English, French and Spanish, therefore perfectly adapted to bilingual and international schools.
According to Eva Van Buren, the Math Coordinator - Lower School for Hackley School in the Greater NYC Area, “myBlee Math is fabulous on many levels. It is very engaging. I was looking for a program that moved beyond electronic worksheets, and this program delivers. I also think the program does an excellent job modeling a flipped classroom approach. It also closely aligns with Singapore Math, and I am delighted to hear that more Singapore Math will be added. Of course, the ability to differentiate and track progress is so beneficial.”
How It Works
Each math curriculum topic is developed in a module. Subjects covered include math areas such as Fractions, Geometry, Add & Subtract, World Problems, or Logic. myBlee Math provides 250 modules – including c. 2000 lessons and level of exercises. Each level of exercise asks new questions when a students get back into it. Therefore there is no limit to practice and progress with myBlee Math.
Teachers use myBlee Math in the classroom in several different ways:
- Practice a Specific Topic – The teacher points all students to practice (in myBlee Math) a specific topic that has been studied earlier in the classroom.
- Group Individualized Work – Let students pick math topics they want to practice and / or progress at their own speed in an area of math. Focusing Teacher time on supporting the students when they encounter difficulties.
- Remediation – In the classroom or at home, the teacher asks a specific student to work on his / her areas of challenge by working on myBlee Math specific modules.
- Math Topic Discovery – Teachers ask students to discover a math topic on their own first (going through relevant myBlee Math video tutorials and exercises) before coming back to that topic in the classroom.
