What is Mathspace?
OUR MISSION: Every student can excel at maths with the right help at the right time
We built Mathspace 10 years ago with the vision of using technology to replicate the benefits of one-to-one teaching. Our step-by-step support helps students at the exact moment of misconception, helping them to learn and ultimately develop a growth mindset.
Mathspace lessons are comprehensive and curriculum aligned - check them out in our free public textbook - https://mathspace.co/textbooks/
Mathspace workbook assignments, which can be automatically adaptive or teacher-customised, include access to hints, next steps, videos, worked examples and textbook lessons to support students as they work through problems line-by-line.
Mathspace skills check ins are our low-stakes, regular and quick assessments that make use of AI to identify strengths, weaknesses and gaps across the curriculum in as little as 5 questions a week. Skills check ins provide both teachers and students with always accurate data and automatic task recommendations for students to close gaps and overcome weaknesses. The recommendations also take into account the topic areas that teachers are assigning to ensure that students can close their own unique gaps in pre-requisite areas first.
Recommended Usage
An independent study concluded that any use of Mathspace was beneficial to students' "likelihood of proficiency" but greatest gains were seen in the ">30 minutes per week" group.

Best benefit is making the students show their working so we can see, as teachers, where they are making mistakes. It also helps students with Hints and Videos in case they get stuck with their homework or for revision.
Malcolm found mathspace:
- Moderately improves attainment“Students have to show their methods and then usually has videos to help them through any problems they have.”
- Moderately improves teaching efficiency and productivity“Clear view of general misunderstandings from homework review and where their strengths lie.”
- Moderately reduces teacher workload“Marking is reduced and it helps target my planning for future lessons. Also allows students to be extended when they do an Adaptive assessment.”
- Slightly improves teacher knowledge and skills“Sometimes there are interesting ways of asking questions that I had not thought of before.”
- Moderately provides school data“We do use Mathspace in place of a written test on occasions, and the data is used in our reporting.”
