2025 STEM Choice Awards Experts' Choice - Best Math Product
Mastery Coding’s Gamer Math Wins Expert’s Choice for Best Math Product!
In a recent survey conducted by STEMfinity, educators, makerspace leaders, and classroom innovators across the country cast their votes to recognize the most impactful tools in STEM education. Among the dozens of nominees, one product stood out above the rest—Mastery Coding’s Gamer Math, earning the coveted title of Expert’s Choice for Best Math Product.
Why Educators Chose Gamer Math
At its core, Gamer Math flips the traditional approach to math education by embedding real-world math concepts into game design and development. By bridging the gap between coding, problem-solving, and digital creativity, Gamer Math doesn’t just teach math—it makes it matter.
Educators praised the curriculum’s ability to make abstract concepts concrete by letting students apply math to build video games using industry-standard tools. Whether calculating sprite movement or configuring game logic, students learn math through authentic, hands-on challenges that are both rigorous and fun.
Standards-Based, Student-Centered
Built on a foundation of cross-disciplinary, standards-aligned instruction, Mastery Coding’s approach blends academic rigor with real-world application. The program meets students where they are, guiding them through a gradual release of responsibility using project-based learning. This empowers students to not only learn—but own—critical concepts as they gain the confidence to design and build their own software projects from scratch.
The “Why” Behind the Win
What makes Gamer Math truly deserving of the Expert’s Choice title is its commitment to relevance and student engagement. In many classrooms, math can feel disconnected from students’ lives. Gamer Math breaks down that barrier by integrating game development, esports pathways, and computational thinking into the curriculum.
Final Thoughts
From afterschool programs to full-time computer science pathways, Mastery Coding’s Gamer Math is reshaping how math is taught—and more importantly, how it’s experienced. Congratulations to Mastery Coding on this well-earned recognition. The future of math education is gamified, and it’s already here.
