The program starts by teaching the foundational concepts visually, then connects the ideas to the symbols, language, and robust discourse. Why does this approach work so well? Because with visual learning, students are better equipped to tackle unfamiliar math problems, recognize patterns, and build conceptual understanding. Without language barriers, the problem is accessible to all students, regardless of skill level or language background. Deep Conceptual Understanding ST Math is mastery based, which means students must pass each level with a score of 100% (all puzzles correctly solved) before the next level in a sequence becomes available to them. Each student has their own personalized journey and takes as long as they need to achieve mastery. This ensures that students are building and demonstrating a strong conceptual foundation. ![ST Math student understands multiplication by seeing 2 birds, each with 2 feet, needing a total of 4 boots](https://2024.mindresearch.org/hubfs/graphics/icons/st-math-icons/Trim/stmath-icon_misc-4.png) ![Engaging_Image@2x.png](https://2024.mindresearch.org/hubfs/STMath/Illustrations/Engaging_Image@2x.png) Formative Feedback In ST Math, action is critical and mistakes are the perfect opportunity for learning. Animated formative feedback offers an intrinsically motivating learning experience that shows students the mathematical consequences of each answer, helping to form and shape their understanding. Students don’t just guess at multiple choices, or worse, get a question wrong and wonder why. Standards-Aligned ST Math games include more than 35,000 puzzles with interactive representations of math topics that align to all state standards, with learning objectives that target key grade-level concepts and skills. ST Math is a flexible instructional tool that can fit easily into many different curriculum implementations. In a computer lab, during designated classroom time, station-rotation, or at home - as long as students are using ST Math for 60-90 minutes per week, you will see gains in their math achievement.
