Learning A-Z and ExploreLearning Are Now ExploreK12: What This Means for Malaysian Schools
Education works best when learning is both effective and enjoyable.
That belief is at the heart of ExploreK12™, the new name bringing together two established education brands: Learning A-Z® and ExploreLearning®.
By combining their strengths, ExploreK12 offers schools a broader collection of practical, research-driven solutions across three essential areas of K–12 education: literacy, mathematics and science.
For educators who are already familiar with Learning A-Z solutions such as Raz-Plus® and Raz-Kids®, this marks an exciting new chapter. The literacy solutions they know are now part of a wider education portfolio designed to support student development across multiple subjects.
Two trusted education brands, one shared purpose
Learning A-Z has long supported educators with differentiated literacy resources, levelled reading materials and digital reading practice.
ExploreLearning is recognised for interactive mathematics and science solutions that help students develop fluency, conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills.
Together, they form ExploreK12—a unified education company focused on helping educators create greater impact for every student.
The ExploreK12 portfolio supports schools across:
Literacy
Solutions such as Raz-Plus, Raz-Kids, Foundations A-Z, Reading A-Z, Writing A-Z and Vocabulary A-Z help educators support foundational reading skills, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension and writing.
Mathematics
Reflex helps students in Grade 2 and above develop maths fact fluency through adaptive and engaging practice, while Frax supports upper-primary learners in building a deeper understanding of fractions.
Science and mathematics
Gizmos provides interactive mathematics and science simulations for Grades 3–12, allowing students to explore concepts, test ideas and learn through inquiry.
Why this matters for Malaysian educators
Schools today often use multiple platforms to address different learning needs. This can create additional work for teachers who are already managing lesson preparation, classroom instruction, student progress and intervention.
ExploreK12 represents a move towards a more connected, multi-subject approach.
Its solutions are designed to help educators:
- Differentiate learning for students at different ability levels
- Provide engaging opportunities for independent and classroom practice
- Gain clearer insight into student learning and progress
- Strengthen foundational skills and subject understanding
- Reduce the time required to locate suitable teaching resources
- Support meaningful learning across literacy, mathematics and science
For Malaysian schools, this broader portfolio also creates opportunities to consider learning needs more holistically—from helping young learners establish strong reading foundations to encouraging older students to explore mathematics and science concepts through interactive experiences.
Familiar solutions, broader possibilities
For existing Learning A-Z customers, familiar solutions such as Raz-Plus and Raz-Kids continue to be an important part of the portfolio.
The introduction of ExploreK12 does not mean leaving those trusted products behind. Instead, it brings them into a broader family of education solutions supported by the combined experience of Learning A-Z and ExploreLearning.
For schools that are new to these solutions, ExploreK12 provides different entry points based on their current priorities—whether the need is literacy development, maths fluency, fractions instruction, science exploration or a wider school-level learning initiative.
Supporting Malaysian schools locally
At mangoSTEEMS Malaysia, we understand that selecting an education platform involves more than comparing features.
Schools must also consider their curriculum priorities, students’ learning levels, teachers’ readiness, implementation requirements and available budget.
Our role is to help schools explore the most suitable solutions for their needs. This may include:
- Understanding the school’s current teaching and learning challenges
- Identifying suitable ExploreK12 solutions
- Arranging product demonstrations
- Supporting trial or evaluation discussions
- Providing quotations and subscription guidance
- Coordinating onboarding and educator training where applicable
- Offering local follow-up and support throughout the subscription journey
Rather than recommending every solution at once, we believe schools should begin with a clearly identified learning need and evaluate the platform that best addresses it.
A new chapter in joyful and impactful learning
ExploreK12 brings together decades of experience in supporting educators and learners. Its solutions currently reach more than 15 million students and educators across over 150 countries.
However, the value of education technology is not measured by reach alone. What matters is whether it helps teachers teach more effectively and enables students to learn with greater confidence, curiosity and understanding.
That is the opportunity ExploreK12 brings: trusted solutions, a wider view of K–12 learning and a shared commitment to creating brighter futures for every student.
