Description¶
MATHia is Carnegie Learning's adaptive mathematics intelligent tutoring system that analyzes students' step-by-step problem solving and provides personalized instruction and feedback toward mastery.
Components¶
- MATHia intelligent tutoring system with adaptive mastery-based instruction: MATHia is Carnegie Learning's intelligent tutoring system for mathematics, developed over 25 years ago at Carnegie Mellon University. It employs machine learning algorithms to analyze students' problem-solving step by step, identifying misconceptions and gaps and responding with feedback, adapting instruction in real time based on "knowledge components" or granular representations of learning goals. Students work through topics at their own pace to achieve mastery. It is used by over 700,000 students in over 2000 schools in the United States.
