What will happen to Multiplication by Heart on Mathigon?

Multiplication by Heart will no longer be available on Mathigon. Visiting mathigon.org/multiply will redirect you to fluency.amplify.com.

Will everything still be free?

Yes!

Will students lose the progress?

No. All student account credentials and saved progress on Multiplication by Heart will follow them to fluency.amplify.com.

How will students login at fluency.amplify.com ?

Student login will depend upon the type of account they have on Mathigon. While login happens at fluency.amplify.com, for all free users, accounts are created and managed through Desmos Classroom.

Google Accounts

Users that use Google for logging in on Mathigon can select “Continue with Google.”

Email/Password Log In

Users who use an email and password to login to Mathigon will first need to create a new password in Desmos Classroom. To do so, after clicking the “Sign In” button at fluency.amplify.com, select “Reset password” and follow the prompts.

Microsoft Accounts

Desmos Classroom does not currently support Microsoft login. However, we’ve created a way for these users to be able to login and access their progress. User will first need to create a new password associated with the email they use for their Microsoft account. To do so, after clicking the Sign In button at fluency.amplify.com, select “Reset password” and follow the prompts.

Restricted Accounts for students

On Mathigon, students under the age of 13 were able to create “restricted accounts” with verifiable parental consent from a parent or guardian. This is not possible in Desmos Classroom. Therefore, to continue without losing any data, we have converted the student’s restricted account to a new Desmos Classroom account that belongs to the parent or guardian.

Please note that the new account belongs to the guardian, not the student, although the student can use the account with permission and supervision of the guardian.

Can students just create new accounts?

Sure! Students above the age of 13 can simply click the “Create new account” button. Students under 13 can create an account connected to a teacher’s class in Desmos Classroom. Learn more about this option.

What will happen to teachers’ classes on Mathigon?

Unfortunately, while we are able to transfer over student data, we are not able to transfer teachers’ classes. Teachers will need to create new classes in Desmos Classroom. These classes will then automatically appear in the Fluency Practice teacher dashboard. Classes in Desmos Classroom can be easily imported from Google Classroom as well as easily made within Desmos Classroom. Learn more here.
