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.
See how students reason, not just what they answer—so you can respond in real time.
Select and sequence student work to drive meaningful class conversations.
Assign just-right problems to support or challenge each learner.
Magma enhances the core strengths of Bridges by giving teachers real-time insights, flexible teaching tools, and ways to spotlight student thinking.
Magma captures students’ step-by-step reasoning—not just final answers—so teachers can observe thinking in progress. The replay feature allows educators to revisit how students approached a problem, which helps uncover misconceptions and inform next steps. Teachers can also share work anonymously or by name to highlight strategies and foster a culture of math thinking.
Teachers can assign Bridges-aligned problems in Magma and then select, sequence, and display student responses—either anonymously or named—for Math Forums. This supports rich discussions and strategy comparison. Using replays, teachers can highlight how a student worked through the problem, not just the outcome, making class discourse more meaningful and equitable.
With Magma, teachers can differentiate by assigning targeted problems that align with each student’s needs. Whether using Work Places or Practice Mode, educators can choose content that supports foundational understanding, reinforces learning, or encourages deeper exploration—while keeping every student engaged and supported.
Teachers can administer pre- and post-unit assessments through Magma and access real-time performance dashboards plus AI-generated summaries per student. This helps identify who’s ready to move on, who needs support, and which areas to revisit. Teachers can also share work samples—either by name or anonymously—with families or specialists to guide conversations about progress.
Using Quiz Mode in Magma, teachers can present problem strings one at a time to guide focus and encourage deeper thinking. The pause feature prevents students from rushing ahead, while an optional final reflection prompt captures reasoning. Teachers can also replay and share student solutions to emphasize connections across problems and highlight efficient strategies.
