We advanced our mission, strengthened our voice, and grew our partnerships. Here, we'll share just a few of the highlights from 2019. Students in schools across the nation continued to become creative and powerful problem solvers with [ST Math®](https://www.stmath.com/). This year, we reached more than 1,285,000 students and 55,000 teachers, and expanded our impact to 48 states and over 5,000 schools. ![2019-impact-numbers](https://2024.mindresearch.org/hs-fs/hubfs/2019-impact-numbers.png?width=1361&name=2019-impact-numbers.png) Did you know that MIND has a portfolio of design and utility [patents](https://www.mindresearch.org/patents)? This June, the U.S. Patent Office issued MIND's ninth patent! This patent covers the core of how ST Math games function. It includes the use of spatial-temporal (ST) reasoning to interact with on-screen objects following mathematical rules, informative feedback showing why solutions work or not, difficulty ramps, and error tolerance. ![blog.mindresearch.orghubfsjiji-reading-patent](https://2024.mindresearch.org/hs-fs/hubfs/social-suggested-images/blog.mindresearch.orghubfsjiji-reading-patent.jpg?width=5184&name=blog.mindresearch.orghubfsjiji-reading-patent.jpg) Through our [MathMINDs](https://www.mindresearch.org/mathmindsresources) initiative, we brought math to life for communities everywhere with MathMINDs Games! We created these storybook board games to combine math, history, and literacy in a highly connected experience. Through each story, families learn and play a math game as they explore real events from the game's country of origin. ![mathminds-games-girl-lemur](https://2024.mindresearch.org/hs-fs/hubfs/MIND%20Research%20Institute/MathMINDs/sots/mathminds-games-girl-lemur.jpg?width=1280&name=mathminds-games-girl-lemur.jpg) A favorite highlight from this year included all of the new partnerships we formed, and growing existing ones! We were especially delighted to host several of our partners at the [2019 Partner Advisory Forum](https://2024.mindresearch.org/blog/mind-paf-2019). Representatives from a diverse group of corporations and foundations challenged us to think bigger and more deeply about the impact we can achieve. ![BI5A9790-1](https://2024.mindresearch.org/hs-fs/hubfs/BI5A9790-1.jpeg?width=1395&name=BI5A9790-1.jpeg) Thank you to all of our amazing partners who are advancing MIND's mission to ensure that all students are mathematically equipped to solve the world's most challenging problems.
