At Humble ISD, some teachers will use a new, innovative device when working with middle and high school students with virtual reality, called Prisms VR. They’ll learn math and science concepts in real-world situations.
“As math teachers, we struggle sometimes to find real-world situations and get kids to understand that,” said Jessica Eoff, who teaches math at Kingwood Middle School. “I can explain it all day. I can give them examples. But for them to see it and experience it just makes that connection so much stronger.”
“We are scaling problem-based learning by teaching kids how to learn math and science through space, through their bodies, and through problems that mean something in the world,” said Anurupa Ganguly, Founder and CEO of Prisms VR. “So to learn quadratics they are in urban design are building a new green space to learn systems of equations they are air traffic control. So every single topic has a different real-world context. And so when you go in there, it’s never the same.
