DEVELOPMENTAL YEARS TARGETED:
Skills developed during the middle school years are key for succeeding in high school, college, and beyond. That’s why StraightAce keeps middle schoolers engaged with their studies by making learning fun and easier to fit into the day. As students learn and answer questions correctly, they earn virtual stars that are exchangeable for in-game rewards. Such features embrace the current popular tech trend of gamification.

Every grade level is also aligned with the Common Core State Standards, ensuring that StraightAce students learn the content that they need in school.Plus, with content accessible through a mobile app, the material goes with students wherever they are, so they can be learning even when they’re away from their textbooks.

DESIGNED TO KEEP PARENTS IN THE LOOP:
As an added benefit, our exclusive StraightAce Link online dashboard helps you track your child’s progress. As children complete each daily set of math problems, you can monitor and applaud your child's success from anywhere.
