If you’re looking for classroom math funding and meaningful support for your students, you’re not alone. Reflex and Frax Math Grants bring high-quality, research-based digital math resources to your students at no cost. 

These teacher math grants are designed to help you target critical math learning gaps without adding strain to your budget. Our adaptive, game-based programs, Reflex (for math fact fluency) and Frax (for fractions), zap math gaps, motivate students, and build strong foundational math skills. And with ever-tightening school budgets, these entirely free classroom math grants offer timely, much-needed support for you and your students.

Overview

Reflex and Frax Math Grants provide free, full-year access to adaptive math programs for grades 2–8 (up to 40 students), helping teachers close learning gaps without increasing budgets. Curious if a math classroom grant is right for you? Discover our top 10 reasons to apply.

1. Research-based tools with long-term impact

Whether you choose Reflex or Frax, this math classroom grant opportunity focuses on foundational math skills that compound over time. Math fact fluency can free up students’ working memory, and it’s one of the strongest predictors of standardized test performance. What about fractions? Research shows that knowledge of fractions significantly impacts students’ understanding of algebra and advanced math.

With Reflex or Frax, you won’t just be adding “one more thing” to your already stacked plate. You’ll strengthen core foundations that close learning gaps and ignite math confidence. 

2. Adaptive learning that targets critical math learning gaps

One of the biggest advantages of a Reflex or Frax Grant is access to adaptive math learning solutions. Reflex and Frax meet students exactly where they are with targeted skill practice, so every learner can stay engaged and build confidence, no matter their starting level. While students may be working on different skills, everyone is learning and progressing side by side.

Reflex and Frax allow you to target gaps in math fact fluency or fractions early, before they grow into bigger challenges down the line. At the same time, the technology behind Reflex and Frax adapts to students’ individual needs, freeing you up to do what you do best: teach, support, and connect with students. 

3. Game-based instruction that students actually enjoy

Reflex and Frax turn practice into play. Instead of worksheets or flashcards, students engage in purposeful, game-based challenges that keep them motivated and coming back for more. 

In Reflex, students build math fact fluency through fast-paced games as they work toward the Green Light. With Frax, students complete space missions in a galaxy-themed adventure where mastering fractions fuels progress. Since practice is adaptive and game-based, students stay engaged, build confidence, and close learning gaps, without it ever feeling like “extra work.”

4. Full school-year access

Classroom math funding is tough to come by. A Reflex or Frax Grant brings your classroom (up to 40 students) free, full access for the entire school year. You can monitor progress, spot learning gaps early, and adjust instruction over time, not just for a few weeks.

5. Built-in data and progress monitoring

Reflex and Frax give you clear, actionable data on student growth and progress. Use the built-in progress monitoring tools to celebrate wins with students, share progress with families, or support conversations with administrators. 

6. Low screen time, high impact

Reflex and Frax make screen time count. On average, a Reflex session takes just 10–20 minutes, and each Frax mission lasts about 30 minutes. Since every minute of Reflex or Frax gameplay supports meaningful practice, students make steady progress while you maintain a healthy, balanced approach to screen time that fits easily into your lesson plans.

7. Enhances and works alongside your existing math curriculum

This teacher math grant opportunity supports what you’re already teaching. Reflex and Frax seamlessly supplement your core instruction by reinforcing grade-level standards within your existing math block. Think of it as meaningful reinforcement, not an overhaul.

8. Fully funded: A $2,100+ value

Each Reflex or Frax Grant provides over $2,100 in value through free, full school-year access for up to 40 students. You get immediate access to research-based math tools without purchase orders, contracts, or budget approvals.

Getting started is quick and easy, so you can focus on what matters most: supporting students and closing math gaps all year long. 

9. Includes professional learning and classroom support 

A Reflex or Frax math classroom grant includes access to resources, training, and ongoing support. You’ll feel confident implementing the new solutions and using the data effectively. You’re supported every step of the way. And there’s a bonus just for you! Complete your Reflex or Frax Grant training, and you’ll be entered into a $100 giveaway as a thank-you for investing in your students and classroom.

10. Easy to apply (and loved by teachers)

A Reflex or Frax Grant application takes under 15 minutes to complete. Join the thousands of teachers worldwide who are experiencing the consistent, positive impacts of Reflex and Frax. 


“The Reflex Grant has significantly increased my students’ math fact fluency. I no longer have to wait for students to count on their fingers simple math facts...they just know them.” 

 -Teacher, Walworth Jt. School District, WI 

“THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE GRANT! Frax is the part of the day that gets students most excited for math. Students are excited about fractions now instead of dreading them. Frax has been so amazing for our class. It really solidifies the math concepts we learn. My students have started roleplaying as the Frax characters outside during recess. Just goes to show how much they enjoy it!”

 -Teacher. Los Angeles Unified School District Central, CA 

“My students have shown a significant increase in facts and motivation since using the Reflex Grant. They are interested in gaining fluency and have practiced more than ever. Their scores have increased along with their interest. Students can complete facts more efficiently and effectively. The students' interest in math is a success in itself.”

 -Teacher, Sto-Rox School District, PA
