What Makes ST Math Different?

ST Math is designed to teach concepts the way the brain learns. Students are able to work through puzzles with no audio cues, or additional hints, forcing them to problem solve and learn through perseverance. It's an approach that is guided by our roots as a neuroscience research organization. In addition to the growth students see in their conceptual understanding, educators that use ST Math are able to change the existing culture in their math classrooms by shifting students from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset.

Additional Instructional Resources

In addition to everything included with the ST Math subscription, we’ve created free instructional resources to support schools and families. You’ll find our Teacher & Family Guidebooks, which are available to download in PDF format and made to print. These are meant to make the most out of the ST Math journey and encourage activities outside of gameplay.

We’ve also made our MathMINDs conversations available. These are a series of conversations and resources that explore math outside of the classroom. The 8-week series is intended to be a journey of growth with families.

Try It Out Yourself

Curious to see the games for yourself? Look no further! We’ve now made full games available to try out for grades PreK-8. Simply click your grade and find the math concepts covered in the corresponding games. With 48 different games and over 320 levels, there are so many free resources to explore in your classroom.

Making an Impact in the Classroom

More time spent on ST Math means more time spent learning. A novel study conducted by Proving Ground, part of the Center for Education Policy Research at Harvard University, found increasing program usage from fall to spring by more than 10 minutes per week correlated to significant higher math gains on multiple state standardized math assessments.

The program starts by teaching the foundational concepts visually, then connects the ideas to math symbols and language. The patented ST Math approach is rooted in neuroscience research into how the brain learns, ensuring that all students can master the content

"I love that ST Math allows our students to develop a conceptual understanding of math topics they are already learning in the classroom. It gives all students an opportunity to problem solve through visuals and challenging puzzles, and helps build perseverance and confidence among our students. Our school also uses ST Math as a schoolwide competition to see which classes are solving the most puzzles each week. The students work so hard to get JiJi in the classroom each week!"
Tamara Yeghiyan, Math Coach, Ramona School
Hawthorne School District, CA
"One of the really cool things to watch is when a student asks for help in ST Math and the teacher doesn’t know the answer. The kids struggle and need support and the teachers have to ask probing questions to guide the students’ thinking. They learn together!"
Dana Hibbard, District Math Coordinator
Columbia Public Schools, MO
"Students relate to JiJi. When we ask 'What would JiJi do?' they are inspired to dig into the concept and work through challenges."
Dina O'Brien, K-5 Math Specialist, James Madison Intermediate School
Edison Township Public Schools, NJ
"With paper-and-pencil work, students have a tendency to try it once and just come up with an answer. With ST Math, students stay engaged far longer. Plus, when you speak to the students, you can see that they’re making connections and relating the concepts to the real world."
Carol Ladner, Math Curriculum Specialist
Gulfport School District, MS
"Because of ST Math, students have a more solid foundation of what math looks like conceptually. It's that powerful combination of engagement, sustainability and the fact that students are able to persevere -- all the things we consider essential in our math students."
Laurel Rotter, K-5 Mathematics Specialist
Pinellas County Schools, FL
"We have seen documented success with students using ST Math. The program’s visual approach made a difference for our students and educators. And our students love JiJi!"
