Stephanie Fitzgerald on 08 Feb 12This is an interesting series of math games that try to teach a spatial approach to math with no equations, symbols, or language (at least at the start). There's an option to try out some of the games on the left. The state of California has been hosting a huge study using ST Math in numerous low-performing K-5 schools, and the preliminary results make it look pretty good. I'd be interested to hear what you think of these games--do they look intrinsically integrated to you? Could you see yourself learning the math concepts from these games--even if this were your first exposure to those concepts?

pradeepg on 23 Feb 12I like the idea of teaching the underlying concept without using words or symbols. The estimate fractions was pretty intrinsically integrated and I can see myself better understanding halves and three-quarters... a bit like motionmath but ST math has got so many more games !
