Sage gives the student a reason to enter the room.
A visual room gives students many things to touch and change. Sage begins with a clear mathematical purpose while leaving the student free to decide how to approach it.
Sage is the AI guide we are building for the park. It will work inside each room, respond to what the student does, and guide the student toward a clear mathematical objective.
Programs will still be able to use the rooms with their own teachers. Sage adds another option for students who need guided support while working independently.

Can you use the circle to make three fourths? You can decide how to begin.
I think I made it.
Tell me what the three represents in what you made.
Sage does not need the student to describe every action in a separate chat. It can respond to what the student has built and ask a question that fits that moment.
You shaded three of eight equal pieces, but you were trying to make three fourths. What do you think needs to change?
I need four pieces instead of eight.
Try changing the number of equal pieces and watch what happens to the other models.
Students can see the same mathematical idea as a circle, grid, number line, and symbol. Sage helps them notice how those representations relate instead of treating each one as a separate procedure.
Your circle now shows three fourths. Where would that amount belong on the number line?
Between one half and one.
Move the point to where you think it belongs. We can compare the two representations after you place it.
An open simulation can continue indefinitely. Sage helps the student finish the objective, explain the idea, and produce the result the program needs.
You represented three fourths with the circle, grid, and number line. Before we finish, explain what the three and the four tell us.
The four tells how many equal parts the whole has. The three tells how many of those parts we have.
Your explanation matches what you built. You have completed this objective.
The conversations shown above are illustrative previews of the Sage experience currently being developed.
Students can receive guidance whenever they enter a room, even when a teacher is not working beside them at that moment.
Programs can provide a consistent instructional experience while preserving flexibility in when, where, and how students work.
Teachers can decide whether students use the rooms independently, with a teacher, or with Sage as the guide.
Each guided experience can end with a clear result, such as completion of an objective, a score, or a record that the program can review.
Because Sage works within a defined mathematical room, its guidance remains connected to the representations and objective the student is using.
The park makes mathematics visual and interactive. Sage adds direction, questions, feedback, and a clear conclusion.
Together, they create an experience in which students do more than talk to an AI about mathematics. They work inside the mathematics while Sage guides them.
We are inviting flexible learning programs to preview how Sage will guide students inside the Fractions room. We would also like to learn how your program currently provides math instruction and what kind of result would be useful to your teachers and families.
A twenty minute conversation. We will show you the Fractions room, how Sage guides students in our current Canvas work, and what Sage will return from the rooms. We would also like to hear how your program supports students in mathematics today.
Zach responds personally within two days.
We are two teachers and an engineer who believe technology is most useful when it expands the ways students can learn and strengthens the people responsible for supporting them.
We build alongside independent study, homeschool, and virtual learning programs so that the product reflects how flexible education actually works.
