Are you ready to zap the math gaps? Apply for an ExploreK12 Math Grant!
This once-a-year math grant gives outstanding teachers full access to Reflex or Frax ($2,100+ value!) for the entire school year.
Zap the Math Fact Fluency Gap
Zap the Fractions Gap
Which math gaps are you working to close: math fact fluency, fractions, or both?
The foundational math skills developed in elementary school can unlock long-term success for your students. Math fact fluency can free up students’ working memory, and it’s one of the strongest predictors of standardized test performance. And what about fractions? Research shows that knowledge of fractions significantly impacts students’ understanding of algebra and advanced math.
Zap the gaps. Accelerate math growth.
Close learning gaps and ignite math confidence with an ExploreK12 Math Grant. Selected teachers in grades 2-8 will receive free access to Reflex or Frax for the 2026-2027 school year (up to 40 students).
Choose the solution that best aligns with your classroom needs and submit your application—it only takes 15 minutes! Grant spots are limited, so apply today for a fast-tracked review!

Frax: Ignite fractions understanding
Frax stops the fraction struggle through an adaptive, game-based system that helps students build a strong understanding of fractions for ongoing success in higher mathematics.
Foundational instruction. Students work extensively with length models and number lines to understand fractions as numbers first.
Research-based success. Across all achievement levels, students who use Frax meet or exceed growth benchmarks at significantly higher rates.
Engaging and effective. Each Frax mission features game-based challenges that build conceptual understanding while motivating students with rewards for effort and progress.
Classroom support. With Frax offline activities, comprehensive support materials, and progress monitoring, educators can discover when students are struggling and how to help.

Zap the gaps and build math momentum with Reflex and Frax
- A two-year study found that 2nd graders who scored two or more grade levels below their peers in math improved by an average of 11 percentile points when they used Reflex, compared to 5 percentile points in non-users. When those same Reflex users advanced to 3rd grade and used Frax, students were 2.5x more likely to reach on-grade-level math proficiency by the end of 3rd grade compared to non-users.
- Students using Reflex and Frax experienced larger score gains than non-users, and the most academically at-risk demonstrated even greater growth. Users were 60% more likely to exceed or meet typical growth goals and 100% more likely to exceed or meet stretch growth goals.
- Teachers gave Reflex an average rating of 9.1 out of 10. Nearly 99% of teachers saw increased attention, engagement, and student motivation with Reflex.
- Students who used Reflex with fidelity were 7.4x more likely to reach 100% fluency than those with low Reflex usage. These students also showed significantly higher growth on NWEA MAP Growth assessments.
- ESSA Tier 2 research found Frax was 3x more effective than the average educational intervention for 3rd graders and 5x more effective for 4th graders.
