You’re not alone!

There’s a reason so many math technology companies — and game-based companies, in particular — focus on elementary school: it’s much easier to design engaging and efficacious products for less complicated mathematics. BrainQuake, however, designs specifically for middle school (though our users run from 8 to 80!) because the field has long known that this is when we are most likely to lose students to the perception that they’re not “math people”.

We also understand how principals tend to make curriculum decisions with their staff, and we’ve tried to make your decision as easy as possible:

• Our results speak for themselves. Even better, you don’t have to take our word for it. We have taken great pains to invite research groups around the world to put our work to the test. It should not be difficult for you to quickly determine whether or not a product is worthy of your staff’s time and your scarce dollars. We openly share with you what researchers — who are neither BrainQuake employees nor whose studies BrainQuake funded — find when they assess our products in real teachers’ classrooms.

• We know our place as a supplemental resource. We understand that time is often the scarcest of resources in schools. In a study led by Dr. Jo Boaler, the investigating team found that student problem-solving performance increased by ~16% in just three 10-minute sessions per week over four weeks!

• We’re pedagogically and LMS agnostic. It’s our job to fit into your school. There’s no long manual or daunting new technology to learn. Staff can start using our content in your LMS in minutes, so teachers can focus on what’s most important: increasing student’s sense of self-efficacy and proficiency.
