Master Math

Math is an extremely important academic and real-world subject—math is everywhere! Supporting early mathematical development is key, as children's mathematical achievement when they start kindergarten is a strong predictor of later academic success. Children's awareness of number concepts, or numeracy, as well as their ability to detect patterns, recognize shapes and classify and organize objects, can all be enhanced and supported through math games and activities.
