GLOW: A TOOL FOR STUDENTS TO SEE MATH IN A NEW LIGHT!

  • 9+ practice modes across apps
  • 35+ levels to build skills
  • 1 tablet, Chromebook, or Mac required
Glow is part LED display, part etch-a-sketch, and all about making math make sense! Students turn dials and press buttons that control the lights and, in turn, illustrate operations, write math equations, and model fractions. The hands-on aspect allows students to visualize math concepts in a new, concrete way.

 

Glow Apps
  • GlowGrid - Students model addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with lights
  • GlowPix - Students write math equations to create pictures
  • Fractions - Students model fractions

 

Teacher Guide
Teachers love Glow for self-checking, differentiation, and reporting. Whether using Glow to introduce a standard, revisit a skill, or offer remediation, the Teacher Guide offers helpful sample introduction scripts, student prompts, and discussion questions.

 

The Owlet Math Tools Collection

Two hands-on manipulatives, Glow and Cube, combine with digital apps to make abstract math concrete for grades K-5. “Aha!” moments result from peer-to-peer sharing, safe space to explore, and immediate feedback.


Based in research, driven by joy

  • The Owlet Math Tools collection is the result of a 3 year design and research study supported by the National Science Foundation and enhanced by real math teachers in classrooms across the United States.


No-distractions math manipulatives for K-5

  • Let students explore math in a safe, ad-free digital app. With Glow and Cube, engagement comes naturally - no games required. Align to learning goals while practicing math that actually looks like math.
