Students actually
want to do it
The hardest part of learning tools is getting students to engage. Brilliant is designed so well that students choose to use it outside of class. Interactive, visual, never a wall of text – it looks and feels like something they’d pick up on their own.
Conceptual teaching,
not just drills
Lessons build real understanding through visual explanations and hands-on problem solving. Students manipulate, experiment, and discover why the math works, so the understanding actually sticks.
It fits into your classroom,
or as homework
No training needed. No complicated setup. Students sign in, pick a topic, and start learning. You get a dashboard showing who’s active and where they’re progressing.

Teachers love us
I require students to do one or two lessons a day. Amazingly, students willingly go into other courses that interest them.
8th SciencePennsylvania
It’s the best website because it is visual. It moves fast and helps students learn quickly. They love being able to see the concepts come alive on the screen.
6th–12th MathIowa
I use Brilliant in my Computer Science classes to help students absorb concepts in an alternative way. It’s helpful alongside lectures and gives students a different lens on challenging topics.
6th–8th Comp SciVirginia
This is my third year using Brilliant in my classes, and each year I’ve found more ways to incorporate it. I recommend getting all your students signed up and exploring the variety of courses available.
6th–7th MathOregon
Brilliant is a fantastic way to increase engagement and light up students’ brains before, during, or after class. It’s a go-to for structured free time and works well as both a warm-up and extension activity.
7th MathNew York
Student engagement is AMAZING! Brilliant builds number sense with powerful visual learning, and Algebra is so much more accessible to all my students. I also love how the learning is quantified so I can track progress.

How teachers use Brilliant
I use Brilliant with 70+ students in Pre-Algebra and Algebra. Mainly as an enrichment assignment the day after a quiz. I really love the content and structure. It gets away from 'process' and into why and how concepts are connected.
Enrichment
I love using Brilliant to reinforce concepts we are doing in class and provide extra opportunity to build computational thinking outside of the classroom.
Homework
Every class begins with students working through Brilliant problems for 20-30 mins and they love it. They can work alone or in pairs/threes to solve a problem. It is an excellent way to start lessons.
Lesson starter
I love Brilliant as an enhancement for our assignments to introduce and reinforce programming. Participation in Brilliant has accelerated the students’ efforts on a daily basis!
Enhancement
I use Brilliant as a scaffolding tool and for individual intervention. Also, for Do Now!’s
Scaffolding
I have them start each class doing 10 minutes of any lessons of their choosing. It gives them a chance to get into the physics mindset, and I've noticed they approach puzzling physics problems with more curiosity and ambition.
Lesson starter
I love using Brilliant to expose my students to ideas and concepts that I do not get to teach in my classes. I recommend teachers share lessons that make sense for them but also give students the freedom to complete lessons in whatever topic interests them.
