Why Family Playlists Matter
Through play-based learning and AI-powered insights, Family Playlists make student thinking visible, transforming how educators teach, how families engage, and how students learn.
Uncover Student Thinking
Family Playlists uncover how students think about math, not just whether they get the right answer. This kind of insight is key to unlocking equitable outcomes at scale.
Engage Every Family
Translated into 140+ languages and sent via text, Family Playlists are inclusive by design. Just 15 minutes a week, families look forward to seeing their child's math expertise.
Strengthen Math Instruction
Paired with coaching and PD, teachers use rich data to identify misconceptions, differentiate instruction, and deepen math discourse for every learner.
Students are excited to learn new strategies in math and it gives them confidence when working with a partner or in small groups.

PowerMyLearning provides us with resources to help our students practice math at home. Family Playlists help them have better discourse to explain what they’re learning and how they got their answer.
