In The Spotlight: Online Programs
Online programs can help build and maintain STEM skills when traditional classes are not available.
Reasoning Mind
Reasoning Mind is a nonprofit with a mission to provide a first-rate math education for every child. To achieve this goal, Reasoning Mind partners with schools to provide an interactive, online mathematics curriculum for elementary and middle school students. The program ignites students’ interest in math, develops higher-order thinking skills, and prepares them for algebra—the “gatekeeper” course to college. In addition, Reasoning Mind offers ongoing professional development, training, and in-person support for teachers and administrators using the program.
ST Math
Spatial and Temporal (ST) Math uses innovative technology to teach math concepts, problem solving techniques, and critical thinking skills to children in pre-Kindergarten through sixth grade. Schools that fully implement ST Math see double, and even triple, the growth in math proficiency when measured against comparable schools.
Design Squad
DESIGN SQUAD is a multimedia program for middle school-aged children that includes television episodes broadcast nationally on PBS, an interactive website, and hands-on engineering activities.
FogStone Isle
Cignition’s FogStone Isle engages late elementary through middle school children in a virtual sandbox world in which all activity is intrinsically mathematical. Kids grapple with the underlying math as they explore, create, and craft their own unique island. Every activity is carefully designed by a collaboration of master teachers, a neuroscientist, and a master game designer - basing crafting activities on visual manipulatives known to encapsulate the underlying mathematical concepts.
DreamBox Learning K-8 Math
DreamBox Learning is the only K-8 digital math program powered by students, built by and for educators, and independently proven to positively impact student achievement. Both during and between lessons, DreamBox dynamically adapts and differentiates in real time based not only on students’ answers, but also based on how they approach and solve problems. By automatically and continually supporting all students right where they need support, DreamBox is a powerful partner in every classroom, school, and district.
Mathspace
With Mathspace, students can immerse themselves in the world of mathematics, engaging with content and exploring new ideas through interactivity.
