At MIND, we continue to change in order to meet the needs of the students and educators that we serve. As education and technology transform, so do we. And as we transform, so do our ST Math schools, teachers and students.  In 2017, we expanded our reach to more than 1,200,000 students. ST Math helps them to "see the math and grow" as they develop a deeper understanding of math concepts.   [![Banner_MINDSTMath_1030x440.jpg](https://2024.mindresearch.org/hs-fs/hubfs/MIND%20Research%20Institute/MINDResearchInstitute_Feb2017/Graphics/Photos/Banner_MINDSTMath_1030x440.jpg?width=650&height=278&name=Banner_MINDSTMath_1030x440.jpg)](https://www.stmath.com/) *2017 brought a significant change to MIND - a new website to showcase the power and impact of ST Math.*   We also continued to engage communities in fantastic mathematical experiences. From our Math Fair to Family Math Nights, public-private partnerships brought hands-on mathematical activities to students and their families to promote creativity and problem solving.   [![annual-report-community-numbers.png](https://2024.mindresearch.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Graphics/icons/annual-report-community-numbers.png?width=650&height=245&name=annual-report-community-numbers.png)](http://www.mindresearch.org/2017) * MIND and partners brought unique mathematical experiences to our communities.* Thank you to all of the wonderful partners that join with us in our mission to ensure that all students are mathematically equipped to solve the world's most challenging problems. Your support, encouragement and enthusiasm is what inspires us to continue transforming math education. We hope that you'll enjoy this look back on what we accomplished together in 2017.  [![VIEW 2017 ANNUAL REPORT](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/237516/b2facbfc-b2a3-4dca-be69-1729a1554591.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/237516/b2facbfc-b2a3-4dca-be69-1729a1554591) ![Kelsey Skaggs](https://2024.mindresearch.org/hubfs/kelsey-skaggs-blog.jfif) ### About the Author Kelsey Skaggs was the Communications Manager at MIND Education.
