A new math-oriented game event named “Mind Games,” took place in the in the United Students Government Game Room in the Student Union this year. Mind Games is the brain-child of 23-year old Computer Information Systems major and USG’s Administrative Vice President for Academic Affairs Hector Rosario, pioneered with the intent to alleviate the fear and apathy which many associate with mathematics.
Did you ever think teachers would find ways to find math fun? Learning is easier when happy.
Using games to teach elements of math makes it fun and retainable.
With Rosario’s game includes life-sized “Connect Four” and chess games, a pool table and several puzzles. It is certain to help with those struggling with math in their studies. By approaching math in a fun, competitive way, Rosario believes that students will be better able to achieve success in math classes.
The reason why I decided to have this game is because for a lot of people there is a lack of drive to not be associated with math especially when it comes to problems or exam,” he said. “So I want people to know how much fun math can be. People can actually have fun and stimulate their brain. They can find strategic ways to approach different problems.

You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
