The results
The Math Learning Center helps teachers and students build real confidence and clarity in math. Their mission is “to inspire and enable all individuals to discover and develop their mathematical confidence and ability.”
To bring that mission to life in a new way, The Math Learning Center (MLC) came to Workhorse to take on a big challenge: turning hundreds of publications, guides, and print materials into a lively, modern digital learning ecosystem. They weren’t looking for simple digital copies; MLC wanted a platform that helps teachers lead engaging lessons, grow through professional development courses, explore videos and podcasts, and manage their schedules with flexible, role-based tools.
Just as important, MLC needed a clean, accessible space where their team could easily manage and publish content, and where teachers could quickly find, explore, and interact with the materials they use every day.
Numbers:
30+ Schools and Educators Interviewed
10,000+ Pages of Curriculum Digitized in an Interactive Lesson Platform
25+ Custom Features for Lesson Management, Dashboard, and Content Recommendations

Our first step was to really get to know the curriculum and the people who teach it. Each grade level might have up to 18 binders of lesson plans per school year. Our goal was to synthesize that into an easy-to-navigate and understand online curriculum. To do that, we needed to understand The Math Learning Center’s mission, users, and long-term vision. Through conversations with stakeholders, educator interviews, workflow reviews, and a scan of similar tools, we uncovered how teachers actually use materials and where the biggest opportunities were. These insights shaped a clear platform strategy — from user flows and content organization to search logic, accessibility, and overall UX direction.
With that foundation, we built a fully accessible, modern platform from the ground up. It doesn’t just digitize materials — it elevates them. Teachers can quickly browse and search through a powerful system, save lessons, review materials in a custom PDF reader, and interact with content inside a flexible, modular environment. On the backend, MLC teams can easily manage and publish materials on their own, giving them the speed and control they need.
To keep everything fast and reliable, we built the platform with responsive design, smart caching, optimized load times, and strong accessibility standards. The result is a clean, intuitive digital space where teachers can find what they need in seconds — and where MLC’s team has the freedom and efficiency to support educators at scale.
