CueThink

CueThink is a Boston-based Ed Tech startup aimed at helping teachers capture student thinking, conduct formative assessments, and plan next instructional steps. The company offers an application and pedagogy that improves critical thinking skills and math collaboration for students in grades 2-12. Its methodology is based on renowned mathematician George Pólya’s four phases of problem-solving, providing a consistent language and problem-solving structure across grades for students to excel on new performance-based assessments. CueThink also employs a team of professional math educators who train teachers on effective implementation of rigorous tasks and review of student work to enhance problem-solving pedagogy. Moreover, their brand new CueTeach 1.0 features aim to enhance teacher planning and assessment of student work with interactive tools and actionable data to drive instruction. The National Science Foundation recognized their innovation and has supported them with two Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grants. Additionally, they are a NewSchools Ignite portfolio company. CueThink's most recent investment was a $1.35M grant received on 25 January 2021. The start-up operates within the industries of digital media, education, and mobile, with its headquarters in the United States. Notably, CueThink is launching a new program named CueThink PD Supported Pilot, designed to build two model classrooms that exemplify effective uses of technology to improve student engagement and learning.
