Only use after they learn the curriculum before hand.

Mathia may not be an ideal tool for students to learn mathematics efficiently. Its tendency to be repetitive can lead students to rush through the material without retaining the knowledge being presented. The app's format can become frustrating for students when they are required to fill in circles, as even a small error may require them to start over from the beginning. This can have a negative impact on students' learning experiences and discourage them from engaging with the material. The repetitive nature of the app also teaches students to prioritize speed over comprehension, leading to a work-driven mentality rather than a genuine desire to learn. This can be detrimental to students' long-term success and overall enjoyment of the subject. Moreover, the added pressure to complete work accurately and quickly may contribute to increased stress levels, depression, and disrupted sleep patterns in students. Therefore, Mathia may not be suitable for use in a classroom or teaching environment, as it can hinder students' learning and have negative effects on their well-being. It's important for educators to consider these concerns when evaluating educational technology and to ensure that students are provided with effective, engaging, and inclusive tools for learning.

The curriculum itself is not necessarily bad, but it is not a good curriculum to use when you teach each course in a semester. There is not near enough practice for mastery. The Mathia does have great teaching aides, but as we all know, if you do not physically use a paper and pencil, most students do not retain the content. My final and biggest issue is the number of mistakes I have found in the student Geometry edition. Almost every lesson has glaring issues. The mistakes may be small, but they can cause huge issues in understanding if a student was not present during class for the corrections that I give them. I had several students incorrectly learn the distance formula because they were not present in class and the example did not substitute the (x,y) values correctly into the distance formula. I expect a professional publishing company to proofread their books before they publish. I don't have the time, nor am I paid, to do their editing for them.

My son is dyslexic and math is his best subject. Not with MATHIA! It is very wordy and verbose, and tends to emphasize rather non-useful wordy jargon. I would say it is very discouraging for him to make a mistake and feel like he has to keep repeating over and over again. I have been helping him - the math is easy - MATHIA is NOT. As with all bad user interface designs, it is making the students learn a computer interface, rather than learn the subject. I would not recommend.
