It’s always good to know you’re on track, especially when learning something new. Discover your strengths, figure out what you need to learn next and see your growth with Mathspace Waypoints.
Quick bite-sized check-ins track your maths progress in just 10 minutes. Using the latest AI technology, Waypoints helps you to learn smarter, not harder.
Once you’ve identified what you’re ready to learn next with Waypoints, you can jump over to our comprehensive library of digital textbooks. From the US and Canada, over to Europe and down to Australia, we’ve got lots of interactive textbooks to match what you’re learning at school.
Mathspace Waypoints is a new way to continuously assess students. To access your students’ data, sign up to receive a free teacher account for 30 days. Students have free access forever. Use our smart AI-powered diagnostics to track student gaps and growth. Simple, unobtrusive and intelligent - you get the data you need on student performance, without needing to take time out of class.
We’ve mapped all standard outcomes into a knowledge-graph, along with all associated pre-requisites, and have created diagnostic questions tailored to each outcome. As students complete these diagnostic questions and move into Waypoints’ growth phase, Waypoints automatically selects the best outcomes to assess at each check-in, based on the information we have gathered for that student. This is all done through the use of an adaptive algorithm - based on Item Response Theory, and powered by our proprietary machine learning engine.
For over 15 months, we have refined the models for a reasonably accurate diagnostic assessment from a cold start. But with machine learning, the more data we have, the smarter the models get. As such, we’ve been running trials and continue to further tune the algorithms based on the feedback we receive from past, current, and future users.
For now, Waypoints covers the Australian Curriculum and VIC Curriculum across grades 3 to 10A. However, we’re working on expanding our coverage - you can get in contact with us to learn more.
Students are able to do as many check-ins as they want on Waypoints to assess their own mathematical understanding. After completing the 10 short check-ins required for the diagnostic phase, students will gain access to a skills report. From here, they can track their understanding of each skill by strand. If the student also has a Mathspace subscription, they can jump into Mathspace straight from their Waypoints skills report to practise any skill that they want to work on.
