Have you ever encountered individuals who seem to effortlessly grasp academic subjects like mathematics? For them, math just clicks from the start. Imagine how much better the world would be if mathematics resonated with young learners in the same way. That’s where Zone Proxima comes into play. Zone Proxima is designed to make learning natural and intuitive. When learning is intuitive, students build a solid foundation of knowledge. This prepares them to construct strong frameworks for new ideas and achieve greater success. In an environment where learning is intuitive and makes sense, learners truly thrive.

Zone Proxima uses the Metaphorics approach to instruction.  Zone Proxima CEO Debbie Denise Reese, PhD, invented Metaphorics approach. NASA and National Science Foundation (NSF) financially supported Metaphorics development, testing, evaluation, and implementation. Reese derived Metaphorics from cognitive science analogical reasoning theory. Metaphorics is applied cognitive science. Metaphorics designs instruction that works the way the mind works.

Metaphorics supports knowledge domain specification, selection and mapping of concrete analogs, development, assessment, evaluation and implementation.
