ST Math teaches foundational concepts visually by connecting ideas to symbols and later, language. This approach allows students to build conceptual understanding without encountering language barrier.

PuzzlesST Math Impact in Massachusetts
ST Math is a visual instructional program that leverages the brain’s inate spatial-temporal reasoning approach to solve mathematical problems. DESE funding allowed 195,000 students to experience ST Math and gains were made.
In a comparison of MCAS results from their baseline school year (before using ST Math) to 2021/22, ST Math schools outgrew their counterparts in statewide math performance rank by 10.68 percentile points.
Don’t lose the math progress your students have made. Sign on for the next generation of math learning! Grants are available through our social impact partner, the One8 Foundation, and our sales team is available to discuss how ST Math can keep making a positive impact on your students, school, and community.
There is a science to learning. Just as learning to read has shifted to a phonics-first approach and learning science has shifted to hands-on experiments, there is opportunity to drive learning mathematics with science. Applying neuroscience research about how our brains learn, combined with innovations in technology and pedagogy, is highly effective.
With ST Math, students are engaged in understanding math concepts through productive struggle and visual problem solving. They are intrinsically motivated to continue learning for the sake of learning and persevere to help JiJi the ST Math penguin cross the screen in each puzzle.
ST Math is making a positive impact as we work to accelerate learning, address equity, and approach accessibility for all subgroups of students.
