instruction and response to intervention so all students can build their skills and confidence. Using an engaging,

game-based interface that fully absorbs students in learning, Penda activities supplement math and science

instruction and support differentiated instruction. While all activities are aligned to state math/science standards

Neuroscience and Cognition

Students learn best when

they are engaged and in

a state of “flow,” where

challenge and skill are in

equilibrium, and having to

make choices on the fly

greatly enhances learning

and retention. Students

choose; students learn.

Penda’s game-based

activities are designed based

on empirical evidence to

captivate and encourage

students to learn, in class

and on their own.

Pedagogy

Penda Learning puts cutting-

edge pedagogy front and

center, employing Webb’s

Depth of Knowledge Levels

to expand the learner’s skill

set with rigorous activities

that have been shown to

literally forge new neuronal

pathways in the brain.

Gamification

More and more research

continues to validate that

gamification is a powerful

learning tool. Because games

engage both the emotional

and intellectual functions

of the brain, the student’s

understanding — and desire

— is more deep and robust.

Penda activities combine

the fun of a video game with

cutting-edge educational

enhancement. The result

is a sum that is

greater than

its individual

parts.

THE PENDA EXPERIENCEPenda Learning improves the experience of students, their teachers and administrators.

Penda inspires and accelerates learning for students, simplifies data-driven instruction for educators, and helps
