Third Party Validation
A 2019 WestEd study found schools that consistently used ST Math outgrew similar schools in statewide rank by 14 percentile points.†
What are students saying about ST Math?
JiJi helps me keep trying. When I make mistakes, I learn from it.
Dear JiJi—you’re the best. Your program is amazing.
Thank you for helping me in math. I really like math. It’s so fun.
Students who play ST Math have higher mathematics self-beliefs
ST Math's impact on student self-beliefs is strongest for those students who had lower mathematics achievement scores
ST Math operates through students' self-belief to positively influence achievement

The old way of teaching math was to make you do it like a machine...
The new way is to understand it so you can build the machines!
See Math. Do Math. Love Math.
To ensure that all students are mathematically equipped to solve the world's most challenging problems.
