How it works

Feedback with every mistake

There are no dead ends with bettermarks. Right from the start, every learning type can find an exercise to fit. Start off with guided exercises, then work step by step through series and topics that get progressively more difficult. The student is never simply left alone – diverse forms of help are just a click away, before, during and after any particular question. If the student still has problems in an area, bettermarks automatically recommends exercises to close the knowledge gaps it identifies. This gives every student the opportunity to learn at their own pace.

Built for teachers

Our goal is to facilitate the learning and teaching of mathematics. To reach this goal, bettermarks employs teachers, mathematicians, academic educationalists and software specialists to work together. Our adaptive math books guide students through exercises step by step with constructive feedback. As a teacher, you receive comprehensive reports on all your students‘ activity.
