### 5/5 — Homeschooling winner!!

*2026-08-21*

Here is a winner! If I wanted to get all these manipulative for the kids it would have been over $900! Finally someone made a kid friendly version for a reasonable amount. Amazing!!!!

### 5/5 — This app is teaching my daughter how to THINK

*2026-08-21*

First of all, the design of this app is so clean and user-friendly. My kids aren’t intimidated by it at all—even though it’s MATH! My daughter actually asks to play around with it for fun, even when we aren’t doing a lesson.

What I really love, though, is how powerful the manipulatives are. Sometimes when my daughter gets stuck on a math problem, she’ll actually say, “Let’s do the blocks game!” If something isn’t clicking, we can build it with blocks, draw it out, find a pattern on the hundreds chart, or switch to the Rekenrek or tens cards. There is almost always another way to look at the problem.

Most importantly, this teaches her that math isn’t just memorization—it’s something she can figure out. A big problem can be broken into smaller pieces until it makes sense. That builds confidence that goes far beyond math.

Especially in an age of AI, I care less about my children memorizing every answer and more about them becoming problem solvers. I want them to look at something difficult and think, I don’t know the answer yet, but I know how to figure it out.

That’s what this app is teaching my daughter, and that’s why I love it.
