Tyto Online empowers students to learn math by using meaningful, problem-based learning in a video game. For example, they help solve problems on urban heat island with statistics, or learn about coordinate grids by planning a community park. Students experience the “why” behind math, set in a meaningful context, and with an open, visual, inquiry-based approach that research shows can powerfully improve math understanding.
