- Owlet Math Tools: Glow LED Board
- Innovative tool combining LED display and etch-a-sketch
- Includes USB charging cable and five board overlays
- Provides three educational applications for comprehensive learning
- Supported by the National Science Foundation
The Owlet Math Tools: Glow LED Board is an innovative educational tool designed to illuminate mathematical concepts for students. This unique device combines the features of an LED display and an etch-a-sketch to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of mathematics. By manipulating dials and buttons, students can control the lights to demonstrate operations, formulate mathematical equations, and model fractions. This tactile approach enables students to visualize mathematical concepts in a tangible manner.
Included with the Glow LED board is a USB charging cable and five overlays for the board. Additionally, three educational applications are provided. These applications are GlowGrid, GlowPix, and Fractions. GlowGrid allows students to model basic arithmetic operations using lights. GlowPix encourages students to formulate mathematical equations to create images, while Fractions enables students to model fractions.
The Owlet Math Tools – Glow also includes a downloadable Teacher Guide. This guide provides valuable introductory scripts, prompts for students, and discussion questions.
The Owlet Math Tools collection, including Glow, is the culmination of a three-year design and research study. This study was supported by the National Science Foundation and enriched by the input of practicing mathematics teachers from across the United States. The Glow tool is designed to provide a safe, ad-free digital environment for students to explore mathematical concepts. It naturally encourages engagement without the need for games and aligns with learning objectives while practicing mathematics in its true form.
