My Take
Overall, it is quite useful. It gives the students a lot of support and explains most things. On my account it shows me how the students are going in a graph in regards to the time and accuracy. The only thing is that it times them while they are working on it, regardless if they are helping their friends, etc, so it doesn’t really give me an accurate description. Also, the questions are not very engaging, and occasionally some of the answers are wrong. In addition, sometimes Mathspace has glitches.
How I Use It
Mathspace is a great tool to give students additional support, homework or to give me a break from teaching.

Mathspace is impacting student's mental health
Mathspace is quite an average app for learning - there are definitely better apps out there. It also caused several of my students to indulge in some... self-harm. I caught one of my Year 9 students using a disassembled sharpener razor to cut her arms. When asked why, she claimed she couldn't take the pressure of Mathspace. One of my Year 7 students walked to the front of the class whilst I was out of the room printing math worksheets, and he took a sharpie, wrote on my whiteboard "MATHSPACE MADE ME DO THIS" and proceeded to take 48 Aspirin pills along with a shot of vodka. I came back to the horrific scene of his unconscious body, thankfully he survived, but after these horrible experiences with Mathspace, I recommend you do not use Mathspace as they can place unnecessary pressure and stress on already hard-working students. Of course, if you believe your students can take on Mathspace, by all means - go for it - but seriously, Mathspace can seriously impact your student's mental wellbeing.

Very convenient for students to be engaged in learning the concepts and topics.
Although this is a great application for convenience and learning, there aren't a lot of features that maintain students' attention. The application looks professional. This feature might be a great look for many educators, but this feature might not be a great visual for students. This can bore the students from continuing in gaining their knowledge. However, I would definitely use this application for my students as this gives direct and thorough learning for students to be engaged in after-school.
