Off-platform and Collaborative Learning Activities

While playing ST Math on personal devices provides meaningful learning time, it may be helpful to take a screen break by incorporating related off-platform and collaborative learning opportunities. Doing so can provide a more tactile experience, apply ST Math visuals to new contexts, and strengthen math discourse practices in the classroom.

Find off-platform learning opportunities below. For collaborative learning ideas, explore ST Math Puzzle Talks and Strategies for Small Groups.

Game and Math Mat Activity Guides

On the Game Mats, Math Mats, and Creature Cards pages, you will see that some mats have related activity guides. Each activity guide provides math activities, varied by grade band, that make use of a mat or cards.

These activities only require a printed mat or cards - no device needed!

ST Math Special Projects

ST Math Special Projects - JiJi Choice Board gives students a way to highlight and share their understanding of concepts learned in ST Math.

Try embedding projects throughout the year!

Reflection Opportunities

Encourage students to stretch their thinking by reflecting on puzzles during or after they play, using Journal Pages or Exit Tickets.

As a creative way for students to explain their thinking and incorporate a language development strategy, utilize a Letter to JiJi Template.
