What does a puzzle talk look like? Sound like?

Students

  • talking to one another
  • making conjectures
    and testing them
  • revising thinking based on feedback
  • connecting ideas to previous knowledge
    and experiences

Teachers

  • observing students' discussion
  • encouraging ideas
  • clarifying and questioning
  • listening as a formative assessment

Learning Recovery

The tyranny of low expectations

Research shows:
 

  • Students face long-term harm from low expectations and below-grade-level content.

 

  • Students make greater learning gains when their teachers hold high expectations about their ability to meet grade-level standards.

“ST Math has been a wonderful component of the Hybrid and Distance Learning programs we offered our scholars this year. ST Math met our needs better than anything else out there. The combination of highly engaging and, for lack of a better word, fun content and research-based conceptual math instruction, I believe, is a major reason why we didn't experience as much "learning loss" as we originally anticipated.”

- Scott Borba, Superintendent, Le Grand Union Elementary School District, CA

“I can use Zoom to put them in their own breakout room to feel comfortable with explaining their thought process. I found this private question and answer format actually increased class participation since my kids could be honest about their learning journey. And if there were any connectivity issues, they could go back, replay, and complete ST Math lessons at their own pace.”

- Billie Jo Lamoureaux, K-5 Math Teacher, Morningside Community School, MA

ST Math's visual, spatial-temporal approach makes the program accessible to more learners.

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

Teacher Directed Activities

Visual & Conceptual Instruction

ST Math: Early Learning provides a comprehensive, blended learning program for students offering math instruction before kindergarten. Early learning students love the visual math puzzles and teachers receive the support they need through step-by-step activities that connect math instruction across multiple modes of learning.

Comprehensive Learning Curriculum

ST Math: Early Learning combines:

Visual math software where students develop problem solving and critical thinking skills, and an intrinsic motivation for math learning

Step-by-step teacher’s manuals to help make connections with math concepts.

Classroom materials for teacher-directed multisensory hands-on activities, chants, and songs that complement and support the self-paced software games.

The program addresses the unique development needs of young children, helping them realize the growth opportunities called for in the Preschool Learning Foundations and beyond. ST Math introduces core math concepts visually with a neuroscience-based approach that activates the brain’s innate cognitive abilities. These animated math games guide young minds through an optimal learning path, exposing them to all five key learning domains along the way.

Brain Building Math Software

This suite of activities help develop the motor, verbal and auditory skills essential for early childhood development, regardless of skill level or language background. Easy-to-follow online teacher’s manuals include weekly plans that promote mathematical talk, connect math concepts, and support dynamic teaching.

Teacher Directed Activities

Storybook and Chant Posters

Students practice literacy and language skills while learning key math concepts by reading stories, singing songs and learning rhymes.

Manipulatives and Work Mats

Children explore and investigate with hands-on resources to build deep conceptual understanding and number sense.
