SplashLearn, formerly known as Splash Math, is a math and reading learning app for children ages 2 to 11 made by StudyPad, Inc., and many schools access it through a Clever integration that keeps class rosters synced automatically. The platform combines curriculum-aligned lessons, games, and adaptive practice for preschool through grade 5, and it syncs with Clever’s single sign-on system so students and teachers can log in without a separate SplashLearn password. This article explains what SplashLearn is, what the Clever sync listing does, and how teachers set it up and troubleshoot it.
What Is SplashLearn (Splash Math)?
SplashLearn is a learning app that covers math and reading skills from preschool through fifth grade, built by StudyPad, Inc. The app’s own listings describe it as used by more than 60 million kids and available in roughly one in three U.S. schools, with lessons that adapt to each child’s level and a real-time progress dashboard for parents and teachers.
The platform is ad-free and states compliance with COPPA and GDPR, two child data privacy frameworks. Content ranges from counting and shapes at the preschool level to multi-step word problems, fractions, and decimals by grade five.
What Does “SplashMathSync” Refer To?
SplashMathSync is not a separate product. It appears to be the identifier used for SplashLearn’s listing in the Clever application library, the marketplace schools use to add approved learning tools to their Clever dashboards. When a district searches Clever’s library for SplashLearn, this is the syncing integration that connects the two platforms.
In practice, “sync” refers to two things: signing in through Clever’s single sign-on, and importing or updating class rosters between Clever and SplashLearn. Both are documented directly in SplashLearn’s help center rather than treated as a standalone tool.
How Does the Clever Integration Work for Teachers?
Teachers can connect SplashLearn to Clever in two ways. District administrators can share “SplashLearn – Teacher Login” and “SplashLearn – Student Login” through the Clever Library, after which a teacher enables student access by toggling “Open for Students” on the student login resource. Alternatively, a teacher can log into their SplashLearn account, select “Add Class,” choose “Import from Clever,” and log in with their Clever credentials to pull in a roster directly.
SplashLearn’s support documentation notes that the sync process can take up to 60 seconds and recommends staying on the same page without refreshing while it runs. Once complete, the teacher picks which Clever class to import into SplashLearn.
How Do Students Log In Through Clever?
Once a class is imported through Clever, students can sign in using their Clever credentials instead of a separate SplashLearn class code and password. On the SplashLearn website, they click the SplashLearn icon in their Clever dashboard and are signed in automatically through single sign-on.
This Clever-based single sign-on currently works on the SplashLearn website but is not available on the iPad app, according to SplashLearn’s help documentation. Student sign-in is also not supported on the iPhone or Android apps, so students using a mobile device outside of an iPad need to use the website instead.
What Happens If Clever and SplashLearn Rosters Don’t Match?
Roster mismatches usually come down to where a student was added. If a teacher adds a new student directly inside Clever, the change does not appear in SplashLearn automatically. The teacher has to return to SplashLearn and click “Sync Class” to pull the update through.
If a teacher instead adds a student directly inside SplashLearn within an already-imported Clever classroom, that student stays in SplashLearn only and does not sync back to Clever. SplashLearn also does not support a district-wide shared Clever login, so each teacher signs up through the Clever option on SplashLearn’s own signup page rather than a shared district credential.
Conclusion
SplashLearn’s Clever integration, often surfaced under the SplashMathSync listing, gives teachers a faster way to bring students into the platform without creating separate logins. Understanding how the sync direction works, from Clever to SplashLearn rather than automatically both ways, helps teachers avoid the most common roster mismatches and keeps class data accurate throughout the school year.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is SplashMathSync a separate app from SplashLearn?
No. It functions as the name used for SplashLearn’s listing within Clever’s application library, which handles single sign-on and roster syncing. The learning content itself lives entirely within SplashLearn, not a separate product.
Does SplashLearn support Google Classroom as well as Clever?
Yes, but with a difference. SplashLearn’s support documentation states that Clever supports full single sign-on, while Google Classroom syncing is available for class rosters but does not currently support single sign-on for students.
Can students log in to SplashLearn with Clever on a phone?
Not directly. Clever single sign-on for SplashLearn currently works on the website, and student sign-in is not supported on the iPhone or Android apps. Students on a tablet should use the iPad app or a browser instead.
Why isn’t a new student showing up in SplashLearn after being added to Clever?
The roster likely needs a manual refresh. Teachers should return to SplashLearn after adding a student in Clever and click “Sync Class” so the change carries over, since SplashLearn does not always pull Clever updates automatically.
Does SplashLearn charge for the Clever integration?
SplashLearn’s support articles do not list a separate fee for connecting to Clever. The integration is part of the standard classroom setup process available through a teacher’s SplashLearn account and the district’s Clever portal.
