STEP 1
Describe your observations
"He counted 28, 29, 20-ten…", or perhaps, "He is adding numerators and denominators to add fractions"
Type or speak what you're seeing

Turning Student Thinking Into Your Next Instructional Move
A Math Thinking Partner for Understanding Student Thinking —and Knowing What to Do Next
Studio Addelaide was built on decades of how children learn math—helping you interpret student thinking, decide your next move, and teach with confidence in the moment.
Making Sense of Students’ Mathematical Thinking
Learn How to Support Progressive Development
Every day, teachers respond to what they see students do—but those decisions should be grounded in understanding how mathematical thinking develops over time.
What does this strategy reveal?
What big ideas are on the horizon?
What model would be useful?
Teaching Math is About Moving Thinking Forward
Teachers need answers to questions like:
- How do I help students move beyond counting by ones?
- My students don’t seem to understand multiplication. What’s missing?
- What sequence of models should I use for fraction addition?
- I understand their strategy - but what comes after that developmentally?
- What should I ask or do next to move this student forward?
These aren’t small questions.
They’re the core of teaching in student-centered classrooms.
These decisions shape whether students develop big ideas, strategies, and models—or get stuck in procedures.
This is exactly where teachers need support…
All grounded in decades of math education research, not generic AI.
Studio Addelaide helps you answer the most important questions in real time.
Describe what a student did, said, or struggled with—and get:
- Clear insight into what the student understands
- Where they are developmentally
- What to ask or do next
Research-based guidance grounded in developmental trajectories from Cathy Fosnot and her team!
✓ Next Moves
What to do next
✓ Instant Insight
Understand students’ thinking
How It Works
From Student Thinking To Your Next Instructional Move In Seconds
No searching. No guessing. Just clear, research-based insight and next steps.
STEP 2
Get instant insight
Studio Addelaide:
- Identifies what the student understands
- Pinpoints where they are along a developmental pathway
- Surfaces the near-horizons
STEP 3
Choose what would be helpful
- 2-3 questions to ask
- Models to support development
- Problem strings
- An open contextual task
ALL IN UNDER 60 SECONDS
See How Teachers Are Using Studio Addelaide
- When you want to move a student’s thinking forward - right in the moment of teaching
- When you’re not sure what a misconception reveals about their thinking
- When a student uses a strategy you don’t yet understand
- When you need better questions, not just explanations
- When deciding which models would be most helpful in tomorrow’s lesson
- When you want a follow-up problem string or contextual task
- When a coach isn’t available
