APPROACH

Mathalicious’ lessons are aimed at teaching conceptual understanding of middle and high school math concepts through real-world situations. Instructors choose a lesson, which contains the information and resources they need to implement the lesson in their classroom. Mathematical concepts are organized into units, called Blueprints, with each unit containing an introductory, guided practice, and culminating lesson. Each of these lessons comes with interactive online games and activities for students. A subscription also includes links to external Project Based Learning activities related to the lessons.

To use Mathalicious, teachers search through the lesson database by choosing a mathematical concept or a topic, like “Nutrition” or “Basketball”. Each lesson includes three parts for teachers: Plan, Teach, and Reflect. The plan tab gives a lesson overview, lists the Common Core aligned standards, and provides the materials for the lesson. The Teach tab offers a detailed lesson guide and suggestions for delivering the lesson. The Reflect tab is a space for teachers to talk with other educators and provide feedback on the results of the lessons.

PRICING

Schools can purchase yearly licenses per teacher for $320.00. The licenses must be renewed each year. A license gives access to all 130 lessons available on the Mathalicious website, at all grade levels. Teachers also have the option to purchase an individual account on a sliding scale, ranging anywhere from $10.00-$30.00 a month.
