COMPREHENSIVE SUPPLEMENTAL MATH & ASSESSMENT SOLUTION

Now secondary math teachers can impact every student.

✓	Ask questions that promote reasoning and enable authentic assessment of understanding
✓	Enable practice toward mastery and unique questions on every assessment through randomizations that preserve mathematical intent and consistent difficulty.
✓	Interpret student work flexibly, recognizing equivalent forms, notation, and multiple valid approaches
✓	Provide targeted feedback and accurate grading informed by mathematical reasoning, not just answer matching

Ask questions worth asking

Math develops reasoning, not memorization. That means students need to construct, explain, and justify, not just choose from a list. Derivita is built to ask those questions, and to understand the answers.

Typical platformsLimited to questions with a single, exact, predictable answer. Higher-order and open-ended questions require a math engine to grade, so they simply don't get asked.

Derivita150,000+ questions across Grades 6–Calculus III, written by in-house math and curriculum experts, including open-ended, multi-step, and conceptual questions that require real mathematical reasoning.

Vary practice and assessment with mathematical intent

Mastery takes repeated, varied practice across multiple contexts. Derivita provides the depth of questions to support a full rigorous curriculum and the breadth to differentiate, so teachers never run out of meaningful practice or assessments to assign.

Typical platformsThin question banks that repeat quickly. When differentiation, extra practice, or assessment is needed, there's simply nothing left to assign, or the same questions get reused.

DerivitaOur math engine generates unlimited problem variations that preserve mathematical intent and consistent difficulty, ensuring students can practice toward mastery and no two students receive the same assessment questions.

Interpret student work flexibly

A student who writes y − 7 = 2(x − 1) isn't wrong, they used point-slope form. Accepting mathematically equivalent answers means students spend their energy on mathematics, not on satisfying a system's formatting rules.

Typical platformsRigid syntax matching means a different-but-equivalent form, added parentheses, or an extra space gets marked wrong. Students learn the system's preferences instead of the mathematics.

DerivitaOur CAS evaluates mathematical equivalence across forms, notations, and solution paths, including open-ended questions with multiple valid answers. Students answer in the language of math, and we understand all of it.

Show students how their answer is being read — before they submit

Students deserve to know how their answer is being read before they submit. A live preview builds trust in the technology, so students focus on the math, not on second-guessing the input.

Typical platformsMathematical notation is inherently ambiguous, i.e., "is 9/x+1 equal to 9/(x+1), or (9/x)+1?" Other systems don't acknowledge that ambiguity. Students are simply marked wrong when the system interprets their expression differently than they intended.

DerivitaA live preview updates on every keystroke, showing students exactly how Derivita is reading their expression before they submit. No surprises, and no lost points to ambiguity.

Provide targeted feedback and accurate grading

The student who added exponents instead of multiplying made a different mistake than the one who got the coefficient wrong. Feedback that speaks to the actual error closes the loop, and grading that understands mathematical equivalence means open-ended responses get scored automatically.

Typical platforms"Incorrect. The correct answer is 12x⁵." Every wrong answer gets the same response. Open-ended questions either can't be graded or require teacher time to score manually.

DerivitaBecause Derivita understands the response, it can address the specific error, distinguishing a conceptual gap from a procedural slip, and grade every valid form of a correct answer automatically.

Build a cumulative record of student understanding, not just a score

The best math teachers already know how every student is doing — because they've seen their entire body of work. They don't wait for a year-end test to tell them where Sally is struggling or where she's thriving. They know because they've seen her homework, her classwork, and her responses all year long.

Typical platformsPractice and assessment are treated as separate activities with data that rarely connects. Teachers are left with a few high-stakes snapshots a year and no clear line between them.

DerivitaEvery practice session, homework set, and assessment contributes to a cumulative record of where each student is and where they're headed, so teachers have the evidence they need to act, not just at test time, but all year long.

Surface insight at every level — from student to district

A question answered by a student is also a data point for a teacher, a PLC, a school leader, and a district. That insight should flow automatically, informing instruction at every level without manual export or separate reporting tools.

Typical platformsData stays in the product that generated it, visible to the student or the teacher, but rarely aggregated in a way that's useful to school and district leaders.

DerivitaReal-time dashboards surface mastery patterns from individual student responses all the way to district-wide benchmarks, giving teachers, PLCs, and leaders a connected, actionable picture of math performance.

Student engagement

Questions spark student engagement

Turn daily math work into deeper understanding. Students engage with high-quality questions that spark curiosity, provide unlimited practice, and deliver targeted feedback that supports real learning.

Teacher SUPPORT

Teachers save time and know where to focus

Save time without sacrificing rigor. Millions of dynamic question variations provide targeted feedback and auto-grade even complex responses, freeing teachers to focus attention where it matters most.

Professional Learning CommunitY INSIGHTS

Data-informed collaboration

Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) turn your best teachers into a district-wide resource. Derivita gives PLCs the data and insights they need for actionable conversations, so your strongest teachers can share what's working, teams can align instruction across classrooms, and every teacher grows from the discussion.

District-wide IMPACT

Real-time insights. Strategic improvements

Turn daily classroom activity into district-level insight. Leaders gain real-time visibility into instruction, assessment, and performance, predicting and pinpointing where support will have the greatest impact on instructional improvement at scale.

SEAMLESS INTEGRATION WITH ANY LMS

No new logins. No new workflows. Just better math.

Derivita was co-founded by Devlin Daley, creator of Canvas—the world’s most widely used learning management system—so the platform was designed from the start to work seamlessly within LMS environments for maximum scaling.

✓ Reduced training and support, and increased use and impact

✓ Improved ROI on your existing LMS; keeps it at the center of instruction

✓ Consolidates the tools needed to support your math program
