“Our students will be able to continue to learn from home, and our teachers can easily track their progress.”

Since March 6, MobyMax has provided 1,567 schools closed due to COVID-19 with its award-winning educational software for free. MobyMax will continue to do so through the end of the current school year. Any school administrator that still needs online learning tools should contact MobyMax immediately to sign up at no cost.

Teacher response to the free offer has been overwhelming.

We wanted to share some of the feedback and ask educators to comment on what is working well and how they are utilizing MobyMax to continue learning at home. 

"On behalf of my school, I would like to say thank you,” said one teacher.

"Providing our school with a license for free during the time of school closure is truly appreciated. Our students will be able to continue to learn from home and our teachers can easily track their progress."

With the majority of states now experiencing school closures, students are using MobyMax at home more than ever.

For some, it’s the first time their parents and guardians are seeing Moby, and you may be getting lots of questions!

We’ve put together a handy guide for parents that details how to use MobyMax at home with their children.

It includes a description of the program, sign-in instructions, and suggestions for what students should work on. The guide can easily be printed to send home with students (if you’re still able) or emailed to parents directly.

Four Simple Steps to Help Administrators Maximize Learning During School Closures

According to the U.S. Department of Education, most schools do not have an effective Contingency Learning Plan (CLP) in place in the event that their schools need to close. Following the four steps below will help school administrators ensure that students keep learning during an extended school closure period.

Step One

Select a single, comprehensive internet curriculum program that can be relied on during the school closure. The curriculum should cover all core subjects students normally study. Having one comprehensive curriculum program streamlines learning management for teachers and reduces confusion for students and parents who are working remotely.

March 6, 2020 - MobyMax, the most widely acclaimed differentiated learning solution in the US., has announced that it will provide its award-winning educational software free to all schools and school districts forced to close to protect against COVID-19. The comprehensive software curriculum spans Math, ELA, Science, and Social Studies for students in grades K-8 and meets the needs of struggling students as well as those working on grade level and beyond.

Create a question in Moby and then throw it out to your class. See students’ answers in real time!

When you ask your kiddos if they understand a concept or not, how likely are they to admit that they don't know? As you see every day, the kiddos are so afraid of putting up their hand to admit that they are struggling.

With the new Moby Quick Question, you can...

...make sure that students are proficient in what you're teaching them.

...target the concepts that are leaving students lost without interrupting your lesson flow. 

It only takes 5 seconds to create a question

that the entire class can immediately answer!

Create tests, quizzes, exit tickets, and more...in record speed!

Exciting news!  We just released a new Quick Test module. It's the fastest way for you to create tests, quizzes, exit tickets, and more. And we're giving it away for free.

We know how busy you are (many Mobyers were former teachers themselves!), so we built Quick Test to be, well… QUICK!  Simply create a test, add from MobyMax’s library of hundreds of thousands of pre-made problems, assign it to your students, and you’re done. You can easily add questions from different grades and subjects, too. 

MobyMax makes going back to school fun (and competitive)!

Bridgeport School District ignites students' internal fire to learn using MobyMax

Typically, if you yell “fire!!” in a school, everyone will file outside as quickly as possible. Happily, the kind of fire teachers set using MobyMax has just the opposite effect. Say “MobyMax,” and students rush to their desks to start doing as many math problems as possible.

At least that’s what Herminio “Tito” Planas discovered when he used MobyMax to launch “The Great Mathematics Problem Solving Race.” Tito, the Director of Mathematics for Bridgeport Public Schools in Connecticut, already knew how much students and teachers enjoyed using Moby to improve Math skills. Why not ramp up engagement and pit classrooms and schools against each other in a district-wide competition to see who could answer the most math problems correctly?

Beginning in October 2018, 32 of the district’s 40 schools were divided into three categories based on size. Each group was given a big-time sports name—the Jets, the Patriots, and the Giants—which helped generate team spirit and gave the competition a bit more of an edge.
