Personal Math Trainer Powered by Knewton, part of HMH’s flagship GO Math! program, will be the first K–12 product to combine HMH content with Knewton technology. Personal Math Trainer Powered by Knewton will analyze — down to the concept level — each student’s interactions with HMH content to determine personal strengths, weaknesses, preferences and pace, and provide personalized trajectories for every student to ensure the most efficient path to achieving learning goals. The more each student uses the product, the more it learns about them and the “smarter” it becomes, using the combined data power of every student to help find the perfect strategy for each student for each concept. The system will also provide educators with real-time insights into their students’ individual needs, challenges, and learning styles.
“Many solutions claim to offer an adaptive learning experience, but we believe that Knewton offers a level of rigor, analysis, and insight that reflects the best of what our industry has to offer,” said Mary Cullinane, Chief Content Officer and Executive Vice President of Corporate Affairs at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. “HMH’s digital products built with Knewton’s technology will deliver advanced K–12 solutions that will significantly impact instruction and outcomes.”
Knewton has already gained significant traction in the higher education market. The partnership with HMH will significantly expand Knewton’s impact in K–12 to include core instruction in blended and online classroom environments, as well as supplementary products.
“The opportunity to work with Houghton Mifflin Harcourt to personalize learning experiences for K–12 students throughout the country is a huge step for Knewton,” said Knewton Founder and CEO Jose Ferreira. “We’re excited to support a larger number of students even earlier in their academic careers.”
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt joins a rapidly growing list of global learning companies, content providers, publishers, universities, and schools partnering with Knewton to improve student achievement.
