Getting the Most Out of Magma Math on iPad: The App vs. Browser

For an optimal experience, using the Magma iPad App is the way to go! The app is designed specifically for iPads, offering a smoother, faster, and more responsive learning experience compared to the browser. By avoiding common browser issues like login problems or slow load times, students can dive straight into their assignments without interruption, making learning more seamless and enjoyable.

To ensure all students with a Magma license can access the app with ease, you’ll need to deploy it through your Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution. Here's a step-by-step guide to get the app onto your students' devices:

Search for "Magma Math" in the App Store or Apple School Manager, or use this link to find it directly.

In your MDM console, go to the app deployment section and add Magma Math using the App Store URL.

Make sure automatic updates are enabled, so students always have access to the latest version of the app. This ensures a seamless experience with the most up-to-date features and fixes.

Assign the app to the necessary devices or groups using your MDM’s deployment process. This ensures every student with a Magma license gets the app on their iPad.

Once the app is deployed, check that it appears on students' iPads. Confirm that users can log in and access all features without any issues. All students should have the app pre-installed on their devices.

A simple way for teachers to confirm that students are using the app (and not the browser) is to check for the absence of the URL/browser at the top of the screen.

Correct ✅: If the app is open, the browser URL will not be displayed at the top of the iPad screen.

Incorrect ❌: If the browser is open, you will see the URL in the address bar, indicating that the student is using the browser.
