THE BIRDHOUSE

The Wait is Over: Owlet Math Tools are Here!

July 1, 2022

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Owlet, a hands-on, technology-enabled collection of elementary math tools. Owlet’s two 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. Both tools are slated to ship in September, and pre-orders start TODAY! Teachers can also request a 60-day free trial to understand how these tools can integrate seamlessly in their math curriculum.

Order your set of Owlet Math Tools now!

The Owlet collection was created to provide safe, fun, and interactive exploration of math concepts for students in grades K-5. Glow and Cube are the result of a design & research study conducted in partnership with Carnegie Mellon University’s CREATE Lab and supported by the National Science Foundation. We worked with dozens of math teachers across the United States, iteratively refining our apps, hardware, and teaching materials based on their feedback. These teachers told us after piloting Glow and Cube that Owlet kept students engaged in math, promoted math conversations, and made differentiated instruction a breeze.

“I’ve done so many projects in 30 years and this has been the easiest, most adaptable to the kids and truly valuable to their learning,” a second grade teacher from the pilot program said. “This has really true content in it, and I’m so pleased.”


Meet Glow

Glow is part LED display, part etch-a-sketch, and 100 percent about helping math make sense for young learners. Students turn dials and press buttons that control the board’s embedded LED lights and, in turn, illustrate operations, write math equations, and model fractions. Glow works seamlessly via bluetooth with three custom-made apps, free to download: GlowGrid, GlowPix, and Fractions. The hands-on aspect and digital real-time feedback allow students to visualize math concepts in a new-concrete way.

Meet Cube

Cube is a sensor-enabled tower designed to develop knowledge of place value concepts, including whole numbers, decimals, and money. Students work in pairs by stacking cubes in the three sensor-enabled tracks to create numbers and solve math problems. Cube is also made to work with its own set of free, custom-made apps: Cube3 and Cube6. Cube’s hands-on learning and app-based, immediate feedback creates a cutting-edge experience for both students and teachers.

Owlet’s tools and apps are playful, while providing no-distraction opportunities for exploration and discovery. Students explore in safe, ad-free digital apps: no gamification required. Teachers can align to learning goals while practicing math that actually looks like math. Both Cube and Glow are designed to be used in a variety of classroom instruction situations, including full group instruction, independent work and centers, remediation, and extension work for gifted students.
 
BirdBrain Technologies is an industry-leader in supporting teachers, and the company is proud to continue this tradition with the Owlet math collection. Right out of the box, Glow and Cube are designed for intuitive connection and use. Our website features an impressive selection of free resources including a comprehensive Start Teaching page as well as printable student and instructional resources. Teachers have guidance every step of the way with the innovative Glow and Cube Teacher Guides, available free for download online! Whether using Owlet to introduce a standard, revisit a skill, or offer remediation, Glow and Cube’s separate teacher guides offer helpful sample introduction scripts, student prompts, and discussion questions. With extra space to take notes and tons of tips and tricks, these Guides have everything teachers need to bring math breakthroughs into their classrooms with Owlet. Printable versions are free for download, and a spiral-bound version is available for purchase.
