Technology Review-ST Math

ST Math has been around for quite sometime now, about 20 years, and it has had very prominent success stories from educators that have used it with their students. ST Math can be used for students ages 5-19. I have used this application with Elementary, Middle, and High School students.  This game based learning system features a penguin names Jiji. The objective is for the student to go through a series of mathematical challenges to get Jiji across the screen. Students answer simple math problems using strictly visuals. In this way, the math equation is broken into the simplest, yet complex way for the student to solve the missing puzzle. There is no multiple choice and students are actively learning by doing and critically solving math problems. ST Math contains over 800 games and around 120 games per grade level. This means that as the student is progressing, the math concept gets a little more challenging.

To this day, I have not had any students who have not liked using ST Math. They have all enjoyed the game very much. After doing some research, I found some very useful information that has informative reviews of what have been some of the pros and cons with using ST Math. I am attaching the link on here for you all to take a look at what I thought was a very informative online article ( Is ST Math All It's Cracked Up to Be? ).

I will also provide a link on here for you all to watch a brief 3 minute video of how ST Math has helped students nationwide with their mathematical achievement. Here is the link to find the video with description ( ST Math Brief Introduction  ).
