After introducing her fourth grade class to the Reasoning Mind online math program, Paschall Elementary teacher Ann Waring went home that night and logged on to explore the program further. At 9:30 p.m. she was surprised to find four of her students also working online with Reasoning Mind. Via email, she urged them to log off and go to bed, but when she checked later, the eager students were still answering math questions and scoring points in the game-like program. Since May 10, five classes of fourth grade students at the elementary school in Judson Independent School District have been test-driving the program for free. “Math is my worst subject. I didn’t like it,” said Fatima Delgadillo, 10, who said she now enjoys Reasoning Mind, in class and at home. “This website, it’s, like, fun and educational at the same time. … It’s on the computer and I like being on the computer.”
