WHO WE ARE
International Math Bee®
International Math Bee® (IMB) is a global educational game-based learning platform that helps elementary math students build fundamental math skills through play. Founded in 2006 by Dr. S. David Vaillancourt as the nonprofit National Math Bee®, IMB has grown into a worldwide platform reaching students in over 20 countries.
WHAT WE DO
BatterUp® and cognitive math skills
BatterUp®, IMB’s math baseball game, is built to strengthen the cognitive skills behind math fluency: fast, accurate recall of number facts, working memory speed under light time pressure, and pattern recognition across addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
A real-time, anonymous ranking system at the State, National Math Bee® and International Math Bee® levels gives parents and teachers a clear, ongoing picture of a child’s math progress, not just a final score.
Fast recall.
Fast, accurate recall of number facts across all four operations.
Pattern recognition.
Spotting patterns across addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Working memory speed.
Quick thinking under light, game-paced time pressure.
