Amplify Desmos Math Beta Release

What is the Amplify Desmos Math Beta Release?

The 2024–25 school year is the Beta Release of Amplify Desmos Math ahead of the program’s full commercial release in 2025–26. During the Beta year, some in-development program features are not yet available, and program content will be released on a rolling basis as we complete development.

We appreciate your patience as we put the finishing touches on the Amplify Desmos Math program, and we hope you’ll feel compelled to share your thoughts with us as you explore and experience the program with your students.

What is the duration of the Amplify Desmos Math Beta Release?

The Amplify Desmos Math Beta will last throughout the 2024–25 school year. Your institution may have chosen to preview the program for a three-month, half-year, or full-year pilot. The materials you receive for 2024–25 will depend on the duration of your pilot and the time of year you chose to implement Amplify Desmos Math.

Please speak to your program manager if you have questions about the timing or duration of your pilot.

As an Amplify Desmos Math Beta Release participant, what should I expect this year?

Amplify Desmos Math is a new, curiosity-driven program that supports you in building your students’ lifelong math proficiency. As Amplify Desmos Math Beta participants, you are being granted first access to this program. While we have reviewed Amplify Desmos Math diligently prior to publication, this is the first time we have printed Teacher and Student Editions. We’re also putting the finishing touches on our many differentiation and intervention resources, so not all lessons will have mini-lessons, extensions, or personalized practice available this year. That said, we will continue rolling out Amplify Desmos Math features to you throughout the school year. You can learn more about the specific timeline for these releases on the Amplify Desmos Math Beta website. We welcome any feedback you would like to share, and we will take your responses and suggestions into consideration as we work toward the release of Amplify Desmos Math for the 2025–26 school year.

What materials will I receive for the 2024–2025 school year?

For the 2024–25 school year, Teacher and Student Editions will be available on a rolling basis. Digital materials will be available on the platform starting July 1, and print materials will be delivered starting August 2.

If your institution is participating in a 3-month or half-year pilot, you will receive a subset of these materials when you implement your Amplify Desmos Math program. The specific volumes you receive will depend on the grades covered by your program and the date of your implementation.

  • Grades K–5 and Algebra 1 participants will receive one volume of the Teacher and Student Editions for the 3-month pilot and two volumes for a half-year pilot.

  • Grades 6–8 participants will receive one volume of the Teacher and Student Editions for both the 3-month and half-year pilots.

These Teacher and Student Editions will be clearly labeled as "Beta Release", and they will be exclusively for use in the 2024–25 school year.

Additionally, your ancillary resources, including blackline masters and K–5 student-facing materials, will be available as PDFs on the platform for you to print and copy.

What materials will I receive for the 2025–2026 school year?

In 2025–26, we will release new Teacher and Student Editions, streamlining K–5 and Algebra 1 so these materials are organized into two volumes instead of four. Blackline masters available as PDFs in the 2024–25 school year will be available as printed books in 2025–26. K–5 student-facing materials available as PDFs in 2024–25 will be available as editable Google Docs in 2025–26.

Will I be able to use the Amplify Desmos Math Beta materials after the 2024–2025 school year?

As mentioned previously, we will release new Teacher and Student Editions for the 2025–26 school year to replace the materials you received during the Amplify Desmos Math Beta Release. In addition to being revised and streamlined, they will be updated to match any changes made to the digital program based on your experiences this year. If you continue to use the Beta materials after 2024–25, you will encounter differences between your print materials and the digital experience.
