Amplify Desmos Math is a curiosity-driven program that supports teachers in building a classroom of students who see themselves as math people and gain lifelong math proficiency. Through a structured approach to problem-based learning, Amplify Desmos Math creates a collaborative math community with students at its center. The program pairs problems students are eager to solve with clear, easy-to-follow instructional guidance that leaves space for teacher creativity. Teachers build on students' curiosity to develop lasting grade-level understanding.

Amplify Desmos Math is built around four core tenets:

A structure approach to problem-based learning

The program thoughtfully combines conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and application. Each lesson is designed to tell a story by posing problems that invite a variety of approaches before guiding students to synthesize their understanding of the learning goals.

The Teacher Edition provides guidance for teachers to anticipate and monitor strategies students may use, select and sequence students’ ideas, and orchestrate productive discussions to help students make connections between their own ideas and those of their classmates.

Access to grade-level math for every student, every day

Tasks in each lesson are thoughtfully sequenced so that all students can engage with the math each day without any roadblocks. Every lesson includes suggestions for accessibility and differentiation to support, strengthen, and stretch student understanding.

We also provide additional resources that integrate seamlessly with core instruction, including a suite of assessments, tailored practice resources that adjust to student learning, and other intervention solutions. Cohesive differentiation and intervention resources support and challenge students on their path toward deeper understanding of the learning goals, ensuring that all students can gain or stretch beyond grade-level math.

Student thinking is valuable and can be made evident
Students first take an active role in developing their own ideas, then synthesize those ideas as a class. To guide the learning process, students see each other’s thinking, engage in conversations, and connect to each other by using math to make sense of the world. This collaboration fuels classroom conversations and a shared understanding of math.

Responsive Feedback™ shows students what their ideas mean in context and offers opportunities for students to learn from each other’s answers. This feedback encourages students to explore different strategies and make sense of a variety of responses, so that student ideas drive the learning process.

Math 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 Amplify Desmos Math classroom looks and sounds like. This is math that motivates.

Our curriculum supports social classrooms, invites mathematical creativity, and evokes wonder, empowering students to see themselves and their classmates as having interesting mathematical ideas.

Amplify 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.
