[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter and her classmates in first grade love ST Math.  Many of them have been mentioning it as a highlight of their day in their closing meeting.  Of course it’s only the third day they’ve used it.  Hopefully it stays fun for them.[/quote]

Of course they like it - it is mindless clicking on a crazy penguin. But they also like ice cream for dinner and unlimited movie time. Did you look at it? Do you think it is adding to their understanding of math?[/quote]

Take some time to understand Spatial Temporal reasoning and why ST Math was designed the way it is.  If you think it's "Mindless clicking" you're the one who doesn't understand mathematics or how to develop conceptual understanding.  [/quote]

Different poster here but I agree it is mindless clicking and I do under the concept they were trying to achieve.  I have a PhD in curriculum and development and my dissertation was test development.  I’ve talked to many parents and regardless of the developers intent, it isn’t doing what they intended when the kids are this bored.  It has become a measure of sustained attention not spatial temporal reasoning.[/quote]
