Accelerated Math is intended to individualize math practice and provide progress-monitoring data for teachers to tailor instruction. Accelerated Math automatically performs these essential tasks:

  • Generates individualized practice and exercise assignments, diagnostic tests, and tests for each student.
  • Scores student work, provides immediate feedback, and records student-progress.
  • Provides diagnostic information each day through individual and class reports.
  • Identifies which mathematics objectives students have mastered and which objectives are giving them difficulty.

Accelerated Math can be administered for individual or groups of students in grades 1 to 12.

Accelerated Math assignment and test times are set by the test administrator but must be at least 10 minutes; they can be administered to individuals or groups. Scoring is automated and does not require any additional time.

Raw scores, percent correct, subscale/subtest scores and developmental benchmarks are available. Cumulative percent correct across multiple quizzes over a specified period of time is also available. Reports generated automatically by Accelerated Math can include all of these scores.

Unlimited alternate forms are available; Accelerated Math uses algorithms to automatically generate questions.
