Why Bridges &  Magma Math in Math Education?

Together, we offer a best-of-both-worlds solution: Magma brings Bridges in Mathematics to life in digital environments while preserving the depth and integrity of each instructional moment for students and educators.

Make Thinking Visible

See how students reason, not just what they answer—so you can respond in real time.

Facilitate Rich Discussions

Select and sequence student work to drive meaningful class conversations.

Differentiate Confidently

Assign just-right problems to support or challenge each learner.

Why this matters:

Bridges offers a hands-on, conceptually rich curriculum that supports deep understanding of mathematical ideas.
Through visual models, problem-solving, and collaborative learning, it equips educators to nurture confident, flexible thinkers.

Magma amplifies this experience with digital tools that enhance visibility, flexibility, and access - without compromising instructional integrity.
Teachers can monitor student work in real time, personalize assignments, and facilitate meaningful discussions, all while staying true to the heart of the Bridges approach.
