UNIQUE FEATURES

High Level Mastery Learning

Programmed into Number DNA are two measures for mastery; accuracy and time.

The accuracy threshold averages 90% over 300+ unique workouts, quizzes and tests.

The time thresholds vary with each topic and are set to prevent using a calculator to solve mental math problems like; what is 8 x 8? Or what is 25% of 80? Or what is -7 -10?

Vertical Learning Modules

Each unit focuses on mastering selected skills at a high level.

Tedious practice, long chapters, and the lack of timely feedback are motivation killers for many when attempting to learn math.

Number DNA has a radically different design. Number DNA units are short and are comprised of 3-minute workouts that provide instant feedback and next steps.

When students master topics and skills at a high level, they are confident and motivated to take on the next unit of learning.

How does my certification get displayed as a badge?

We have partnered with Credly’s Acclaim platform to translate the learning outcomes you’ve demonstrated into a badge. The technology Acclaim uses is based on the Open Badge Standards maintained by IMS Global. This enables you to manage, share and verify your competencies digitally.
What are the benefits of a badge?

Representing your skills as a badge gives you a way to share your abilities online in a way that is simple, trusted and can be easily verified in real time. Badges provide employers and peers concrete evidence of what you had to do to earn your credential and what you’re now capable of. Acclaim also offers labor market insights, based on your skills. You can search and apply for job opportunities right through the Acclaim platform.

What’s to keep someone else from copying my badge and using it?

While badges are simply digital image files, they are uniquely linked to data hosted on the Acclaim platform. This link to verified data makes them more reliable and secure than a paper-based certificate. It also eliminates the possibility of anyone claiming your credential and your associated identity.
Where and how can I share my badge through Acclaim?

Search active job listings and even apply for them with just a few clicks through Acclaim. Access the labor market insights from your badge details page by clicking on Related Jobs, or by clicking on the skill tags assigned to your badge.
Can I export badges issued through Acclaim to other badge-storing platforms?

Yes, you can download your badge from the Share Badge page. Your downloaded badge contains Open Badge Infrastructure (OBI) compliant metadata embedded into the image. This allows you to store your badge on other OBI-compliant badge sites, such as the Mozilla backpack.
