This article is part of a series that spotlights learning apps available in the Clever Library, a place where teachers can discover and adopt great apps for their classrooms through the Clever portal.

Looking for a real-world example of the complicated math concept you’re teaching? There’s an app for that in the Clever Library. Matific is a math learning app that provides K-6 students with playful interaction and inquiry-based math activities. The virtual scenarios in the Matific app help students develop conceptual understanding, problem-solving and critical thinking skills in tandem with teachers’ math lessons.

Designed by early-age math education experts, the award-winning Matific program is based on math teaching and research. This math learning app is endorsed by elementary school teachers and principals around the world and is available in more than 40 languages.

Why students love Matific

Matific creates practical, virtual scenarios that allow students the opportunity to manipulate virtual objects in a way that bridges abstract math concepts taught in the classroom and the events that kids experience in the real world. It is this real-world relatability that springboards the conceptual part of math learning. See examples here.

Easy assignments for teachers

Matific complements existing teaching environments, freeing time up for teachers to guide and facilitate learning. See the many ways teachers are using Matific.

Looking for an interactive activity based on your most recent math lessons? Matific’s content is entirely browsable and searchable. Teachers can designate any content specifically for schoolwork or homework, all of which are aligned to the state curriculum or textbook.

Assignments are easy with Matific. In the app, teachers can assign an activity or worksheet that aligns to a lesson, curriculum standard or textbook. Students can work on that assignment individually at school or at home and on any device or tablet.

Tip: For ease of use, turn on Matific’s auto-assign features that provide 15 minutes of targeted and personalized work each week, and then track each student’s progress.

Simple and easy reporting
