How students learn math has a lasting effect on their confidence and problem-solving abilities. Their perceptions of math—whether they find it scary and intimidating or fun and rewarding—can also have long-term impacts on their future career trajectory and economic stability. So how can we ensure a solid foundation in math for students to succeed in school and the 21st-century workplace?
Spatial-Temporal Math (or ST Math) is benefiting more than 1.3 million students in the United States, of which nearly 70% are from traditionally underserved socio-economic backgrounds. ST Math removes language barriers and involves animated depictions of math concepts, using a series of puzzles that make learning math fun and engaging. It does away with the “teaching by telling” approach and encourages “learning by doing.”
MIND Research Institute's mission is not only to create a solid math foundation for students but to mathematically equip them to solve the world’s most challenging problems.
Game-based learning can provide a preferred means to teach math.
Spatial-Temporal learning helps build schemas.
Spatial-Temporal learning provides formative feedback.
Spatial-Temporal learning enhances creative reasoning.
While ST Math continues to evolve, its patented approach has repeatedly led to educationally meaningful math improvements and positive effects on learning overall. Want to learn more about the benefits of a spatial-temporal approach to math? Read more about its concepts, mechanisms, and efficacy in the white paper.
If you missed The Science of Math: Equitable Opportunities for On-Grade-Level Learning on September 14, 2022, you can view the recording at the link below. Nigel Nisbet and Andrew Coulson led a lively discussion in the third part of the Accelerate Math Learning with Neuroscience webinar series.
How can administrators provide teachers with the tools they need to meet varying students’ needs in mathematics? In this edWebinar, you’ll learn more about the science-driven approach that supports learning at grade level, as opposed to providing below-grade-level practice like many interventions. We’ll dive into the power of the prefrontal cortex in developing a deep, conceptual understanding in mathematics and reveal data on the impact of providing equitable opportunities for on-grade-level learning and growth.
