TLDR: Kiddom IM® v.360 has been awarded the ‘Best of STEM for AI for Mathematics’ in the Educators Pick Best of STEM 2025 Awards. The platform is recognized for its AI-powered tools that enhance instructional planning, delivery, grading, and reporting in mathematics, significantly reducing administrative burdens for teachers and allowing for more personalized student interaction.
SAN FRANCISCO – Kiddom IM® v.360 has proudly secured a prestigious accolade, being named a winner in the Educators Pick Best of STEM 2025 Awards. This recognition specifically highlights the platform’s innovative contributions in the ‘Best of STEM for AI for Mathematics’ category, an award uniquely judged by active STEM educators.
Erin Barr, a K-12 educator at the Montana School for the Deaf and Blind and a judge for the Best of STEM Awards, expressed her immediate appreciation for Kiddom IM® v.360. “When I reviewed Kiddom IM® v.360 as a Best of STEM judge, I immediately thought about the challenges we face giving students timely feedback,” Barr stated. She further elaborated on the significant time savings and improved feedback quality: “It takes me hours to grade math papers and give constructive feedback. The AI integration in this product addresses that problem directly. What’s also nice about it is sometimes the AI suggests things I didn’t think about giving as feedback.”
Kiddom IM® v.360 seamlessly integrates Illustrative Mathematics’ (IM) evidence-based curriculum with Kiddom’s proprietary Learning Intelligence Technology (LIT). This LIT leverages artificial intelligence to fulfill the promise of high-quality instructional materials. It equips educators with AI-powered tools designed to streamline and accelerate various aspects of teaching, including instructional planning, lesson delivery, grading, and reporting, all while maintaining the pedagogical integrity of the IM curriculum.
The core benefit of this AI integration is the substantial reduction in administrative tasks, which in turn frees up valuable teacher time. This allows educators to foster deeper connections with their students, motivate them more effectively, and inspire every learner.
Barr emphasized the transformative impact on student-teacher interaction: “The immediate feedback means we’re not waiting until grading is done to circle back with students. We gain time to actually talk to students about what the feedback means and what it looks like going forward. That’s one thing that’s really important about products like this — they give us time back to teach instead of grade.”
