?Students use Gizmos to interact with and explore hundreds of math and science topics ranging from heredity to trigonometry.

Teachers use Gizmos as dynamic “what-if” tools to help students move beyond memorizing to true understanding.

Assessment & reportingStudents can immediately check their understanding and get helpful feedback after every Gizmo. Teachers can use real-time reporting of results to guide instructional decision-making.

Correlations to standards & textbooksGizmos are correlated to over 300 leading textbooks, state standards, and the Common Core State Standards, so finding the right Gizmo is a breeze.
