History – MIND Research Institute



ST Math: K-5™ is research-proven, comprehensive instructional software that uses Spatial-Temporal reasoning to engage and train students at any level of academic and language proficiency in math concepts, skills, and problem solving.

Algebra Readiness™ is a full course (textbook and instructional software) that rebuilds a solid math foundation for middle and high school students and prepares them for success in Algebra 1.

ST Math+Music™ combines the research-based MIND Research Institute music curriculum with the ST Math: K-5 instructional software.

ST Math: Secondary Intervention™ is instructional software designed for middle or high school students who are below proficiency in mathematics.

Our Programs

ST Math: Fluency develops fluency in basic math facts with conceptual understanding . Enables students to recall basic math facts accurately, quickly and effortlessly.
