Robust well-designed assessment tools provide an in-depth analysis of each student’s performance relative to math standards. Teachers can then quickly create IEPs & differentiated assignments based on identified needs and assign them to individual students, groups of students or the entire class, as appropriate. By helping teachers to quickly diagnose student needs and design appropriate assignments and practice, NorthStar Math frees them from time-consuming preparation and administrative tasks, allowing greater focus on classroom instruction and interaction with students.

NSM was created in collaboration with erstwhile Harcourt Education (currently Houghton Mifflin). NSM is a unique offering that leveraged upon a customized version of Help™ combined with the assessment & reporting module (HPS). Furthermore, as per the partner’s market requirement, NSM was offered in different flavors (Saxon version & Generic version).
