It covers all math units (25 units, 50 sections) that first graders learn in a year. It's comprised of interactive explanation sections, where you can learn all units enjoyably with full animation and full voice, and problem-solving practice sections to solidify academic skills. Bilingual Learning Experience The app seamlessly switches between English and Japanese. We meticulously focused on native expressions and native voices to ensure children can learn math naturally in either language. Even the humor is designed in consultation with native speakers. To accommodate environments like classrooms where sound isn't always an option, all animations come with subtitles ( English and Japanese). "Let's See!"

Safe and Secure Design: The app has absolutely no in-app purchases, ads, or links to external sites. We don't collect personal information, nor do we provide it to third parties. We provide an environment where your child can learn safely and confidently on their own. Highly Trusted by Educators: This app has been widely adopted in general elementary schools, and notably, many educational boards and schools have introduced it in support classes for truancy and special needs classes.
