Math Pathways
Start with the student
The current course, time in the semester and most recently completed prerequisite course inform an initial working hypothesis.
A MORE INFORMED WAY TO LEARN MATHEMATICS
Find the missing connection.
Find the missing connection.
Build from there.
Pathways connects mathematics concepts to the ideas beneath them. A tutor can see what a student understands, where support was needed, and what to work on next.

AN EXAMPLE NEXT STEP
Functions and transformations
Begin with the relationship between a graph and its equation.
01 Review an earlier ideaHow function notation works
02 Study the current conceptExplore, predict, explain
03 Check independentlyReturn later to check retention
HOW PATHWAYS WORKS
01 / CONTEXT
02 / EVIDENCE
03 / NEXT STEP
A clearer picture than a quiz score alone.
Look beneath a score
Concepts, procedures, fluency and retention are considered separately. Independent work is distinguished from work done with hints or guidance.
Respond to the actual barrier
Sessions, quizzes and test practice refine the hypothesis. Difficulty under time pressure calls for a different next step than a missing prerequisite.
BUILT AROUND TEACHING
STUDENTS
TUTORS
EDUCATORS & ORGANIZATIONS
One connected course map. A different path for each learner.
Know where to begin
Open tutor-released lessons in a focused workspace. Review prerequisites, then return to a concept when it is time to check retention.
Teach with context
Adapt course order, record the conditions behind an answer and choose a targeted next step using the existing lesson and prerequisite graph.
See the potential
Pathways is being hardened with real student use before tutor and organizational access expands. Those offerings are not yet open for purchase.
