Inspiring students, helping them succeed, and having fun while learning are the goals of every educator. Those goals don’t change even in times of uncertainty.
In this time of distance learning, ExploreLearning is here to support teachers and schools with online math and science solutions that engage and excite students. Our programs provide full access from school, home, or any place with an Internet connection.
With extensive training resources to support teachers however you’re teaching, ExploreLearning can help your students have serious fun with math and science.

Amanda Allan, The Lakes South Morang P–9 School (AUS) - "My students love it. They want all of their class activities to be Reflex Math time. It has engaged and encouraged students and they are successfully directing their own learning by completing at home also."
Gloria Treece, Ocean View School District (USA) - "I have never used a program that was this user friendly and engaging [as Gizmos]. Each Gizmo has great resources and explanations. Any problems that I have had were taken care of immediately by great customer representatives. Gizmos for 7th & 8th are directly in line with my state's standards, so I can use them all."

Games surround us as we are growing up and help us to develop an intuitive understanding of so many
skills including seeking patterns, solving puzzles, strategic thinking, measurement, physics, evaluation of evidence, and mathematical probability. Many games that have existed for generations are still played today, while the digital revolution arrived and games evolved from Pong and Pac-Man to Pokemon, Angry Birds, and Fortnite.
Fun is the only reason people play games, but skills are always being developed.
Since games spur learning and growth of practical skills, why haven’t there been more games in education? Oregon Trail was one of the first game/simulations used in education in the 70s. The student would learn science to avoid disease and deal with water flow, use technology available at the time for navigation, engineer their transportation, and use math to deal with limited resources. This was STEM education. In the early ‘90s, standards-based teaching became a focus, and STEM-based games faded from schools before making a comeback in the past 15 years.
In the next two decades advances in technology will be creating STEM careers that seem like science fiction. I’ll present examples of STEM education games and simulations available online that will help the next generation of students be ready for those jobs, and all the others we can’t yet imagine.
