New Client Announcement: Magma Math

by Kaiden Gray

About Magma Math:

Magma Math is based on the belief that math is a creative subject and should not be about multiple choice but rather letting students freely show their work. Magma Math’s platform is therefore designed to support teachers to make more informed instructional decisions in the classroom and create opportunities for deeper student-driven discourse and collaboration among students.

About the relationship:

When Magma Math's Ludvig Brisby Jeppsson reached out to Edlink, he was gathering information to decide whether to “build or buy” their integrations. With a recent U.S. launch, integrations serve a key growth enabler for Magma.

Starting off with building out Clever themselves, Magma quickly realized that more integrations were needed to keep up with the growing demand from U.S. learning institutions.

Ludvig's team was looking for an integration partner and they needed to be sure of a few things. Their partner would have to have:

  • a ClassLink integration,
  • to perform key integration features,
  • an easy way for learning institutions to adopt the integration partner, and
  • a shared obsession on speed of execution and creating a great experience for end users.

After a couple of conversations with Edlink, Ludvig and the rest of the Magma Math team knew they’d found their integration partner.

With one integration to Edlink, Magma Math gains dozens of integrations (including ClassLink) with the ability to SSO and roster users. Magma Math doesn't have to ask schools to "adopt" anything; as an integration platform for edtech companies, Edlink places Magma Math's brand front and center. Plus Magma Math can connect new learning institutions through Edlink's 5-minute IT admin onboarding flow. Now years ahead of their roadmap, Ludvig and the Magma Math team can focus on their core platform.

“As a fast growing startup we need to move quickly and be smart with our resources. We choose Edlink to speed up our development. We did not find any other viable alternatives, apart from building each integration ourselves. Edlink are experts on integrations and we want to be focused on being the best math platform. For us this is a win-win situation and so far it has been a pleasure to work with the Edlink team”.
Ludvig Jeppsson, Product at Magma Math
