A different way to learn, think, and grow.
Recent years have seen an explosion of scientific evidence showing that most students (and maybe almost all students) are capable of excelling in and enjoying math.
Problem
Although ed tech has been around for more than a decade, the outcomes in terms of student achievement are disillusioning. Over the last decade, student math achievement has steadily decreased according to the National Assessment for Educational Progress. In 2023, only 37% of 4th grade students meet the minimum standards for mathematical proficiency.
Insight
To expect new outcomes from working within the same conventional tools isn’t going to work. If we want to see improved outcomes in student achievement, we need to think beyond of the conventional ways of engaging kids with mathematics.
