Istation Math is a game-based math curriculum for students in grades K-8. Students progress through the game following animated characters to answer interactive math questions about mathematical content such as place value, number comparisons, rounding, and fractions. Istation Math is available for purchase at a user-based license rate.

APPROACH

Both students and teachers begin using Istation Math by creating accounts and logging in. From their student profile, students select to start playing the game. They follow animated characters such as ‘Donnie and the Decimals’ and ‘Secret Equation Man’ through lesson tutorials and then answer interactive math questions. For correct answers, students advance levels and progress through the game.

From their teacher resource dashboard, teachers download lesson plans and other materials to teach math concepts to their class. Students then play Istation to reinforce the concepts.

From their reporting dashboard, teachers monitor reporting graphics of student progress and performance through the game.
