Make Math Social
CueThink is an innovative application focused on improving math problem-solving and collaboration skills.
Structured approach to problem-solving
Problem-solving is hard. Breaking it into manageable phases helps students slow down and think about their approach.
Thinking made visible
The problem-solving process is more than what's on a piece of paper. By capturing student voices and whiteboard work, math thinking is made visible.
Math discussion
Discussion is important to deepen understanding. Moving conversations to a digital space gives everyone a chance to participate.
Teachers gain insights
Assessment is more than checking for the right answer. Understanding the students’ thinking process allows teachers to plan next steps.
Funded by The National Science Foundation, CueThink is an innovative application and a pedagogy focused on improving critical thinking skills and math collaboration for students in grades 2-12. Our mission is to foster a growth mindset and empower students to see challenges as opportunities.
