My Take

Something I have noticed with this program is that the paid version works a bit different from the free version. I had a gifted class give MobyMax a test run, and it “found” that they were a grade level behind where they should be for their age. Other trustworthy math proficiency tests did not show such. Then I tried the paid version with the class, and it showed an accurate proficiency level.

To summarize, the free version intentionally lowers scores to incentivize their education program.

How I Use It

The school district I work with insisted that I set up this program, but only the free version. That was a mistake

It’s somewhat okay as a resource, but for the kids who have fallen behind, this isn’t the way to help them. It frustrates them, and occasionally shows incorrect or no correct answers. One on one with a specialist would help with these kinds of kids much more.
