Deep conceptual understanding by building strong schema
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!
How can student agency impact student equity?
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.
ST Math promotes social-emotional skills, inspires curiosity,
and builds confidence... and now, there’s research to prove it!
ST Math's impact on student self-beliefs is strongest for those students who had lower mathematics achievement scores
Students who play ST Math have higher mathematics self-beliefs
Teomara Rutherford, Allison S. Liu, Arena S. Lam & Katerina Schenke (2020) Impact on mathematics self-beliefs from a mastery-based mathematics software, Journal of Research on Technology in Education
To ensure that all students are mathematically equipped to solve the world's most challenging problems.
