Puzzles & Games
To ensure that all students are mathematically equipped to solve the world's most challenging problems.
OUR MISSION:
We believe that math should be taught the way the brain learns.
The perception-action cycle is a feedback loop helping us build an understanding of how the world works.
The Four Neural Subsystems
We believe every student has the potential to deeply understand, and truly love math.

Academic Discourse
When students are truly engaged in learning, they want to talk about it, and there are multiple ways to leverage ST Math content for discussion.
Using a Play-Discuss-Apply model, these lessons designate time for students to play an ST Math game, participate in whole class discussion, and apply what they’ve learned on a conclusion problem.
Introduce new math concepts
Dive deeper into current concepts
Review concepts to strengthen understanding
Rich Content Sparks Rich Discussion
Puzzle Talks are another way to leverage the power of the visual models and manipulatives inherent in ST Math and use language to support the learning experience. You can try a Puzzle Talk lesson in your class using one of our freely available ST Math games and the guidelines provided here.
Puzzle Talks
ST Math Game Cards are a great way to get an overview of the power within individual ST Math games. They offer facilitating questions, a deeper look at the math, ideas for supporting students, as well as ways to connect to core curriculum.

Introducing the New ST Math
Students have a more powerful learning experience leading to a deeper understanding of math.
Streamlined navigation takes students to content faster, so they spend less time in between screens and more time learning.
Enhanced feedback animations provide an even clearer representation of the math in each game.
New animation controls allow teachers and students to pause and scroll through feedback animations in order to deeply explore the math in each puzzle.
An annotation tool provides opportunities to showcase thinking and work through challenging content.
Detailed progress metrics allow students to set goals to continually tackle more challenging content.
Teachers have a new and improved set of tools at their fingertips to promote and support learning.
An easier way to discover ST Math curriculum supports strong facilitation.
Teachers can assign any ST Math objective to target specific student needs and align to classroom instruction.
Powerful reports facilitate impactful decisions based on content coverage, productivity and usage.
Administrators have a simplified implementation process and powerful reporting to optimize usage and track tangible results.
Reporting at scale allows administrators to closely monitor their implementation from a single student to the entire district
