Technology is growing in our country and now the Marion County schools will have new technology to help with their math curriculum. This will be for junior and high school students. The program that these students will be using is apparently already being used for the social studies courses and it’s effective in the school system.
Increasing technology in the classroom
Interestingly enough the textbooks for these courses will be available on the student’s Chromebooks for access. The program will allow the students different ways to solve the problems as well as elaborate explanations of the problems if the students have difficulties. For the students who are doing well in the class the program can actually become more challenging for them.
The Marion Community Unit School District No. 2 School Board voted unanimously to approve the use of new technology for teachers to use in math classrooms at the May school board meeting.

Take the dyscalculia test
Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
