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, and was looking to apply his software experience to some of the biggest challenges in education.
Moby Math, the company's first product, was originally intended to find and fix skill gaps for students receiving special education services, but it became a mainstay in general education and special education classrooms. 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 added Pinpoint Assessments with Skill Checker and Benchmarker tests for Math, Language, Foundational Reading, and Reading.
