Derivita, aligned to Utah’s Core Standards for Mathematics.

Courses covered

Middle school

Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8

Integrated high school

Secondary Mathematics I, II, and III, including honors standards

Fourth year and beyond

Precalculus, plus Calculus content through Calculus III

State assessment

Utah students take RISE in grades 3 through 8. Starting in 2026–27, RISE replaces Utah Aspire Plus in high school, with course-based tests in Secondary Mathematics I and II.

Derivita's open-response questions are graded for mathematical equivalence, so students practice constructing and justifying answers rather than choosing from a list, the kind of reasoning these assessments ask for.

How the alignment works

Standard to skill to question. Each standard breaks down into the skills it asks of students, and each skill links to Derivita questions that practice and assess it.

Reviewed by subject-matter experts, and used alongside the curriculum your district has already chosen.

Through UEN, any time of year

Sign a participation agreement through the Utah Education Network, with pricing for Utah schools. Your Canvas administrator adds Derivita with the provided key, and our team schedules training for your teachers.

Through the STEM Action Center grant

Derivita is an approved provider for the Utah STEM Action Center K-12 Math Personalized Learning Software Grant. Applications typically open in early February and are due March 31.

With Utah Blueprint Analysis

District and school teams can see how students are tracking against the Utah Core and where instructional focus is likely to have the most impact on RISE, inside the same system teachers use daily.

Is Derivita aligned to the Utah Core Standards for Mathematics?

Yes. Derivita provides standard-by-standard alignment to the Utah Core Standards for Mathematics, from Grade 6 through Precalculus, including the honors standards in Secondary Mathematics I, II, and III, reviewed by subject-matter experts. Each standard is broken into the teachable skills behind it, and each skill is backed by auto-graded Derivita questions.

Does Derivita support Utah's Secondary Mathematics I, II, and III?

Yes. Derivita is aligned to Secondary Mathematics I, II, and III, Utah's integrated high school sequence, along with Grades 6 through 8 and Precalculus. Its library continues through Calculus III, so students who move on to AP or concurrent enrollment math keep working in the same system.

How does Derivita support students preparing for RISE?

Derivita's open-response questions are graded for mathematical equivalence, so students practice constructing and justifying their own answers rather than choosing from a list. That daily practice helps build the reasoning RISE asks of students in grades 6 through 8 and, as RISE replaces Utah Aspire Plus in high school, in Secondary Mathematics I and II.

How can a Utah district or charter school start with Derivita?

Two ways. Districts and charter schools can sign a participation agreement through the Utah Education Network (UEN) at any time of year, with pricing for Utah schools. Derivita is also an approved provider for the Utah STEM Action Center K-12 Math Personalized Learning Software Grant, which can fund licenses for a school or district.

Does Derivita work with Canvas and the curriculum our Utah district already uses?

Yes. Derivita is seamlessly integrated with Canvas, so students and teachers work inside the courses they already use, with no separate login. It also runs in Schoology, Google Classroom, D2L, Moodle, and Blackboard, and it enhances the curriculum a district has already chosen, with questions aligned to curricula such as Illustrative Mathematics and Open Up Resources.
