MathWorks is the leading developer of mathematical computing software. Engineers and scientists worldwide rely on its products to accelerate the pace of discovery, innovation, and development. MATLAB, the language of technical computing, is a programming environment for algorithm development, data analysis, visualization, and numeric computation. Simulink is a graphical environment for simulation and Model-Based Design for multidomain dynamic and embedded systems. MATLAB and Simulink are also fundamental teaching and research tools in the world's universities and learning institutions. Founded in 1984, MathWorks employs more than 6000 people in 16 countries, with headquarters in Natick, Massachusetts, USA.

Fusion Math, LLC is math education company based in Seattle, WA, specializing in Middle and High School Mathematics including Calculus and SAT / ACT preparation. Fusion Math’s teaching philosophy stems from mathematical problem solving and how those problems relate to everyday life. We believe in strong fundamentals and often re-teach the underlying math skills that so many students are missing. This can mean going back months or years if necessary to re-build weak foundations. Many students say they have difficulty with word problems. We focus on teaching students the strategy of parsing problem information from words to pictures to symbols, so that they can visualize the problems and create mathematical models to solve them.

Next Gen Math is the supplemental K–12 math solution designed to accelerate student achievement, close learning gaps, and provide real-time, standards-aligned insights for educators. Next Gen Math addresses the age-old challenge: “Got data… now what?” While many platforms offer data, we offer the response—in real time. Our model is simple yet powerful: real-time data, real-time intervention.This immediate instructional feedback loop is what sets us apart from other solutions. One of the key features that distinguishes Next Gen Math is our multiple-question-stem design, which ensures each standard is thoroughly represented—not generalized. Unlike other platforms that may offer a single question stem to represent several standards, Next Gen Math provides multiple stems per standard to reflect the full range and rigor of each standard. These stems are scaffolded throughout the school year, allowing students to build confidence and skill over time—always with the goal of achieving grade-level mastery. Furthermore, every student receives access to grade-level content, regardless of their current performance level. Teachers save countless hours spent searching for/authoring questions aligned to the Common Core State Standards in Math, and instead use that time to plan strategic, targeted instruction based on the meaningful data generated within NextGenMath.com. Educators can easily and effectively assign formative and summative assessments and customized assignments in both print and online environments. Actionable data is obtained in real time enabling teachers to conveniently and strategically craft intervention and acceleration based on individual student need. NextGenMath is an excellent solution for closing the achievement gap by providing all students access to the variety of academic language, question types and standard formats they will likely experience on State assessments.
