Company Profile

Elephant Learning is a digital, supplemental mathematics platform suppprting all three MTSS tiers while providing teachers with actionable insights at a glance. We cover from counting through Algebra and designed our Algebra curriculum to remediate students struggling with upper level mathematics. On average, children in our system learn years of mathematics in just a few months using the system just 10 minutes per day.

Our curriculum covers the essential topics conceptually, allowing the student to participate in the classroom. Our adaptive algorithms meet each student at their individual level and so:

·      Students that are behind catch up at accelerated pace.

·      Students that are ahead are still challenged with new ideas.

·      The goal is to get the entire classroom, conceptually, to the level of the classroom so that the teacher’s efforts at the classroom level are effective.

We provide continuing teacher education within conceptual mathematical training at the level of their students. By allowing the teacher to meet the student at their level, we facilitate guided recovery. It is like having an automated mathematics coach to help facilitate your teacher in the classroom.

We provide videos and coaching for working with students with mathematics anxiety, as well as other products and services to supplement math instruction in the classroom.
