ST Math

Dear Parents or Guardians:

 

Can a game change how you feel about math? We believe every student has the potential to deeply understand, and truly love math. Your child’s teacher may assign ST Math games for homework and your student is likely playing ST Math at home, so we wanted to tell you more about the program. ST Math is a visual instructional program that leverages the brain's innate spatial-temporal reasoning ability to solve mathematical problems. ST Math games are a fun and engaging way for students to learn through play as they develop their problem-solving skills. In ST Math, the game puzzles start o simple and then get more challenging as the student progresses. When they reach a challenging problem, your child should attempt the problem and use the visual feedback provided to help them figure out why their answer did or did not work. The feedback provided with each puzzle will help students figure out how to solve the problems. If your child is struggling, help them by asking them questions about what they see happening on the screen. You should not give your child the correct answer to get them past the game with which they are struggling. The goal of ST Math is to promote problem solving. Each student plays using their own account, so they progress at their own pace and receive every learning opportunity. Your child will access the program just as he or she does at school. Thank you for all that you’re doing. As a parent or guardian, you are a very important part of your students’ learning ecosystem.
