Intertwining Executive Function, Fluency, and Reasoning:

 

MIND Research’s journey from theory

to practice regarding how we learn

 

How do we teach?

How do we learn?

We believe that math should be taught the way the

brain learns.

This doesn't just work for

early elementary math;

it applies to ALL LEARNING, including

advanced mathematical concepts.

Promising Results

Continuous Improvement

  • ground hypothesis in neuroscience             marry EF and math                                      

  • inclusive R&D, co-design                                 desilo from users                                                                

  • equity                                                                 work at scale, across student demographics  

  • asset-based                                                       metacognition around growth                    

To ensure that all students are mathematically equipped to solve the world's most challenging problems.
