After more than two decades building research-backed math learning tools, we've arrived at a defining moment. We now know AI can meaningfully help students learn, and help teachers do what they do best: teach.

The screen time debate has moved on. Learn what purposeful classroom technology looks like and how evidence based tools put teachers in control.

ASSISTments has been named "Learning Analytics Solution Provider of the Year" in the 2026 EdTech Breakthrough Awards. This international recognition highlights the platform's real-time reporting, evidence-based design, and proven impact — including 60% more learning in classrooms and a Tier 1 Evidence for ESSA rating.

In the April 2026 release, ASSISTments is introducing powerful new features designed to give teachers greater control over assignments, eliminate workflow barriers, and enhance the student problem-solving experience.

AI can help teachers move from insight to action faster—supporting equity, saving time, and improving outcomes for students who need it most.

State testing season is here and if you're already picturing stacks of review packets and after-school cram sessions, we're here to tell you: it doesn't have to be that way. The most effective test prep isn't more work. It's smarter work. That means starting with data, targeting your instruction, and giving students the focused practice they actually need, not a one-size-fits-all review of everything. Here's the 3-step routine math teachers in grades 3–8 are using with ASSISTments to get their students genuinely ready for state testing (without the extra hours).

This project required us to learn alongside rural educators, adapt to real-world constraints, and share what it truly takes to scale evidence-based support in communities that are too often under-resourced and overlooked.

ASSISTments announced that it has recently completed its SOC 2® examination, reinforcing the organization’s commitment to maintaining strong controls relevant to security and supporting schools with trusted educational technology.
