MIND Education Launches InsightMath: A Neuroscience-Driven Approach to K-6 Math Instruction
MIND Education unveils InsightMath, a revolutionary K-6 core math curriculum designed to transform the way mathematics is taught in classrooms across the United States. Launched on June 30, 2025, in Irvine, California, InsightMath is the culmination of extensive collaboration among neuroscientists, educators, and students, focusing on aligning math instruction with how the brain naturally learns. The curriculum integrates cutting-edge neuroscience research with visual-first instructional strategies, creating an engaging learning environment where students can develop confidence and a deeper understanding of mathematics.
At the heart of InsightMath is a commitment to active learning. According to CEO Brett Woudenberg, true comprehension of mathematical concepts requires students to engage directly with the material. This is achieved through interactive game-based puzzles and rich classroom discussions that encourage students to make predictions, test their ideas, and articulate their thought processes. This student-centered approach not only fosters a growth mindset but also cultivates curiosity, allowing learners to explore mathematical concepts rather than passively absorb information. Emily Landrum, a Math Specialist at Navarro ISD, emphasizes the effectiveness of this method, noting that students who explore concepts meaningfully demonstrate significant academic growth compared to traditional lecture-based instruction.
Building on the success of MIND Education's ST Math program, which serves nearly 2.2 million students nationwide, InsightMath aims to produce similar positive outcomes in student learning. The curriculum is designed to meet high-quality, standards-aligned criteria, and is currently available for adoption in Texas and California, with tailored versions to meet local educational requirements. Looking ahead, MIND Education plans to enhance InsightMath further by introducing additional differentiation supports, a Spanish-language edition, and a Transitional Kindergarten (TK) option specifically for California districts. These developments reflect the company’s commitment to equipping students with the tools necessary to tackle complex mathematical challenges.
In addition to its innovative curriculum, MIND Education remains dedicated to addressing the evolving needs of educators and students. The launch of InsightMath positions the company as a leader in the educational technology space, reinforcing its mission to improve mathematical understanding through research-backed methodologies.

With the introduction of InsightMath, MIND Education not only enhances the educational landscape but also reinforces its role as a catalyst for effective math instruction. The focus on neuroscience and active learning prepares students to navigate the complexities of mathematics, ultimately shaping the future of education.
