Our Integrated Approach
Mastory provides a flexible, interconnected workflow that adapts to how teachers actually work. A teacher might begin with a specific topic like "Introduction to Quadratic Equations" and generate learning objectives first, then create a lesson plan based on those objectives. Another might start with an existing lesson plan and need additional practice problems or think-pair-share activities to enhance student engagement.
Through our "craft" feature, teachers can move fluidly between generating curriculum-aligned objectives, real-world word problems, problem-based learning scenarios, differentiated practice exercises, and comprehensive teaching notes. Each element naturally flows into the next, with teachers deciding which components they need at any moment.
For instance, after creating a set of practice problems, a teacher might realize some students need additional support. They can immediately generate ramp-up exercises that bridge knowledge gaps. Or after reviewing their lesson plan, they might want more detailed notes on presenting a particularly challenging concept. Everything connects, allowing teachers to extend and refine their materials as needed without starting over. With upcoming features, teachers will even be able to access these materials in podcast format, generate interactive materials and educational games.
Addressing Classroom Diversity
We understand that teachers face classrooms where students are at different levels of mathematical understanding. Our platform helps address this reality by:
Creating multiple variants of the same exercise while maintaining core mathematical concepts. Parameters-related difficulty, cognitive demand-related difficulty and language-related difficulty can be varied according to teacher needs.
Generating ramp-up exercise sequences that bridge knowledge gaps and help students progress from their current understanding to the target concept
This differentiation capability allows teachers to support all students in the same classroom while teaching a single topic, ensuring no one gets left behind.
Supporting Modern Teaching Methods
We believe effective math education requires teachers to focus on what matters most: facilitating active learning and supporting student growth. Our platform helps educators implement research-backed active learning strategies by providing the tools to:
Create materials that encourage student participation and critical thinking
Design learning experiences that connect math to real-world situations
Generate resources that accommodate different levels of understanding
Develop activities that promote peer collaboration and discussion
Build lesson sequences that progressively develop conceptual understanding
As we continue to develop our platform, our goal is to bring more and more elements of game-based learning into the classroom, because we believe that the most powerful learning takes place when students are in the mindset of playing a game, where intrinsic motivation is the engine, fearless experimentation is the most common tool, and periods of focus and laziness, excitement and calm alternate naturally, giving learning its most ancient rhythm.
At Mastory, we're committed to empowering teachers with tools that reflect current educational research and allow them to achieve their ideal teaching without compromise and with less preparation time.
