This doesn't just work for
early elementary math;
it applies to ALL LEARNING, including
advanced mathematical concepts.
We believe that math should be
taught the way the brain learns.

We’ve taken all the amazing things in ST Math and
made something new that answers these questions:
How can we increase students' spatial-temporal
problem-solving and underlying mathematical
thinking ability?
How can we increase student discussion and discourse about mathematics to drive deeper learning?
How can we provide teachers
with transparency into their
students’ thinking?
HOW CAN WE MAKE
THIS SIMPLE AND
EASY TO USE?

"I love the puzzles!! I also love how it encourages math talk throughout and lets students see it as flexible content.”
— STEM Content Specialist
"I found the high quality instructional material to be highly engaging. In terms of balance, it was student-centered and teacher-friendly.”
— Assistant Professor
How are educators responding to seeing InsightMath?
"I love that the platform is teacher and student friendly. Additionally, I like that the platform is new and unique. It's very innovative.”
— Math Instructional Coach
"Engaging visuals, promoting problem solving and critical thinking. Opportunity for creativity.”
— Director of Technology
"Giving teachers clear expectations and next steps throughout the lesson is really great and the fact that a teacher with limited experience could just pick this up and deliver a meaningful lesson is so important.”
— District Math Coordinator
"What really stood out to me is the way the kids connected to this and I don’t see that in just the generic story problems that come out of our current curriculum. Math became personal.”

"I made a five legged creature!"
“Things are different and I like that you get to move things around (in the game). It helps you a lot!”
“When we got to work with partners and solve problems.”
“We got to learn more things and also try things out – I had a lot of fun!”
“My favorite part was the independent time.”
“It was all just fun!”

[InsightMath] would make it easy for teachers to engage with student thinking. This is one of the most important and
difficult things for teachers to do consistently. If you can blend what we know about ST Math in an easy whole class environment it would be really exciting to us.”
— Heather Riddle, District Math Coordinator
What teachers are saying
"Students were engaged in lessons. Regular problems and graphic problems (Playbook pages). They have been working with JiJi so they can relate to the lessons. Kids were excited to learn which was cool to watch.”
