The mCLASS Math Activities Guide includes many activities that caregivers can do with their children. The activities focus on early elementary math skills, ranging from counting to multiplication. 

When you share these activities with parents, please let them know we suggest the following substitutions:

• household objects that are easy to count (e.g. coins) instead of chips
• paper clips or rubber bands instead of unifix cubes 
• paper instead of chalkboard/overhead projectors

Number cards and dot cards are at the end of the guide.

The mCLASS® Interactive Skill Maps help teachers and caregivers identify early elementary students’ reading needs and find high-quality resources for addressing them.

Amplify is offering free access to a remote learning version of Amplify Reading through the end of the school year. Amplify Reading uses mCLASS benchmark data to automatically place students in the program and does not require additional enrollment data for mCLASS users. Learn how to gain access here.

Some districts have asked for information about assessing students between now and the end of the school year. In collaboration with our research partners, we’ve created guidance for administering the following assessments remotely:

mCLASS® DIBELS® 8th Edition

mCLASS®: Acadience® Reading

We’re offering a suite of online assessments, measuring comprehension, spelling and vocabulary, to help you learn about your students’ current reading skills. Learn more here.

To help you continue building students’ literacy skills during school closures, we developed guidance on how to deliver mCLASS Small Group Instruction remotely.

If you use mCLASS® Intervention to support struggling readers, watch videos and read guidance on how to continue serving students via your virtual learning platform. Learn more here.

To best support you as you adjust to the new realities of remote learning, we’ve been hosting Remote Learning Office Hours for CKLA, Amplify Science, Amplify ELA, and mCLASS. 

These product-specific sessions have been focused on remote learning resources, tools, and solutions. 

These office hours sessions have included:

• Overviews of our remote learning resources
• Tips based on questions from educators 
• A chance to share ideas about how to support students during remote learning
• Opportunities for Q&A with our Amplify team
