ST Math
ST Math is a visual instructional program that engages students in creative and rigorous problem solving, allowing them to see the math and grow. NAPS students in grades K-5 can spend 15-20 minutes a day to help JiJi the penguin get across the screen by solving mathematical puzzles. If children struggle with making sense of a problem, ask your student questions about what they see happening on the screen: What do you see? What happened when you clicked? What will you do now? Parents and caregivers can find helpful resources in the ST Math parent guide, Spanish resources and join the Facebook ST Math Home Community
