Maryland Math Standards - Algebra|Data Analysis

MathScore aligns to the Maryland Math Standards for Algebra|Data Analysis. The standards appear below along with the MathScore topics that match. If you click on a topic name, you will see sample problems at varying degrees of difficulty that MathScore generated. When students use our program, the difficulty of the problems will automatically adapt based on individual performance, resulting in not only true differentiated instruction, but a challenging game-like experience.
