RoboBlocky Math™
RoboBlocky Math is an innovative TK-12 mathematics curriculum designed for Learning Math with Robotics™, integrating mathematics, coding, manipulatives, virtual and physical robots.
-
Help students gain math literacy and make meaningful connections between abstract concepts and real-life applications
-
Can be used as either first instruction or supplementary instruction aligned with math standards and popular math textbooks, getting started at any grade level from TK to Grade 12
-
Proven to significantly increase math achievement and college readiness for both at-promise and gifted students. For example, a year-over-year increase in students meeting or exceeding state standards from 16% to 71%, a 344% increase.
-
Use Linkbot robots and accessories as innovative mathematical manipulatives while supporting flexible implementation with virtual robots and physical robots.
344% Year-Over-Year Improvement using RoboBlocky Math. Check out the success story details from our partner, the UC Davis C-STEM Center.
