Hey everyone! I have super exciting news to share with you today!! I was recently offered a free account with MobyMax, AND another free account to give away to one of my awesome readers. Keep reading to find out about this awesome online educational tool, and to enter for your chance to win!
So, you might be wondering…what IS MobyMax? Well, MobyMax is an online curriculum tool that provides assessment and instruction for students in Kindergarten through 8th grade. Students take pre-tests so that the program can get a sense of what they know and what gaps may need to be filled. It covers math (including math fact fluency and number sense), reading (language, literature, informational text, vocabulary), and writing.
When the kids log in, there is often some funny little cartoon or image to catch their attention! Then, they see this:
When they’re first getting started, they take a placement test that allows the curriculum to adapt to meet their specific needs. THIS is the part that’s so exciting to me. When I had an entire classroom of students, I found it really challenging to try and meet all of their needs. MobyMax is such a powerful tool for differentiation – it can really change the game for your students, especially the struggling ones.
After students have taken their placement tests, they can start in on the lessons. One great feature is that the lesson tells the kids what they will be learning before the computer starts teaching.
Colored highlighting (such as for the word “who” above) helps draw students’ attention to key words.
In addition to being engaging and fun for the students, MobyMax is also easy to use for the teacher. You can get lots of helpful reports about student progress, like how they are doing and how long they are spending on MobyMax (great if you use it as a homework assignment/option).
I could go on, because there are a lot of other cool features, but I want to let you enter to win!
