Motion Math is a San Francisco-based e-learning provider that develops a suite of math learning games for students. Founded in 2010 by engineers and educators from Stanford’s Learning, Design, Technology program, the company has released nine math-focused games that have garnered widespread usage and recognition, including multiple Parents’ Choice Awards and a Spark Design award. Its products aim to improve mathematical understanding and attitudes, evidenced by an efficacy study on a tablet app showing improvements in test scores and attitudes after use; the research highlighted a 15% boost in test performance and a 10% positive shift in attitudes toward fractions. In 2017, the company was acquired by Curriculum Associates, the makers of i-Ready, situating Motion Math within a broader ecosystem of educational solutions. A notable recent development includes a 2018 product update intended to help learners focus on appropriate levels while preserving the open, exploratory experience that characterizes its games. Motion Math operates in the education technology sector and targets learners and educators seeking engaging, self-directed math practice and progression across levels.
