Britannica Smartmath

Provide Individualized Math Practice

Designed for grades 1-6, Britannica SmartMath provides online math practice that adapts to each studen't ability. Unlike traditional math practice, SmartMath builds formative assessment into the learning process. Students who do well see more challenging questions, and students who struggle see progressively less difficult questions until they achieve success. With SmartMath, students spend more time on task because they are working at their own level and having fun, significantly improving their math skills and test scores. Try it out, for free, online.
