History
MobyMax was founded in 2010 by Glynn Willett and his son, Wade Willett. Glynn had previously been the co-founder of ATX, a tax preparation software company.
Moby Math, the company's first product, was originally intended to find and fix skill gaps in the learning of special education students, but it was used outside of such classes. The company expanded the program in 2013 to include Language, Reading, and Vocabulary and renamed its flagship product MobyMax.
In 2015, MobyMax launched Cognitive Skills Science, which uses 20,000 cognitive skill manipulatives to teach science.[2] [3] [4] That same year, the company launched a trio of Early Reading modules, followed by Cognitive Skill Social Studies and seven early phonics modules in 2016. [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
In 2018, MobyMax created Pinpoint Assessments with Skill Checker and Benchmarker tests for Math, Language, Foundational Reading, and Reading.
