Amazing Program "Jiji Math"!

Second through fifth grade students will again be utilizing the Mind Research Institute’s “ST Math” computer program that features a penguin named JiJi. This program uses spatial and temporal reasoning to present and teach mathematical concepts.  

JiJi is the central character in the ST Math program, which was developed by the MIND Reserach Institute, a non-profit organizationin Southern Californiafounded by three UC scientists. The scientists used their research inneuroscience, mathematics, and education to create a visual math program that teaches complicated spatial reasoning concepts. Students must help JiJiget across the computer screen by solving patterns and removing obstacles. Thespatial reasoning concepts help students visualize spatial patterns andmentally manipulate them over a time-ordered sequence of spatialtransformations.

ST Math: Gr.K-5 is comprehensive, grade-level mathcourseware aligned to state math standards.
