Open Learning Lab turns Grade 2 math into an adventure game for young learners ages 6-9. Instead of dressing up worksheets as games, we use 20 genuine action mini-games to teach every concept. The adaptive engine adjusts difficulty in real time and brings mastered skills back for review at 2, 7, and 21 days — real spaced repetition, not a points streak. ADVENTURE MAP Progress through 5 themed chapters: Place Value & Number Sense, Addition & Subtraction, Multiplication Foundations, Measurement & Data, and Geometry & Fractions. Each chapter unlocks after mastering its prerequisites. 20 ACTION MINI-GAMES • Coin Dash Addition — grab the right coins before time runs out • Place Value Builder — stack hundreds, tens and ones to build target numbers • Number Line Skate — land on the right spot to build number sense • Word Problem Adventure — read math stories and pick the right operation • Fact Family Tree — grow related addition and subtraction sentences • Piggy Bank Quest — count coins to hit savings goals • Array Garden — plant arrays to discover multiplication patterns • Times Table Hero — master 1×1 to 10×10 with timed streaks • Partition Puzzle — break numbers apart for flexible thinking • Time Keeper Race — set analog and digital clocks against the buzzer • Money Shopkeeper — count coins and bills to complete transactions • Length Adventure — measure and compare lengths in standard units • Graph Detective — read bar graphs and picture graphs • Volume Voyage — explore capacity and liquid measurement • Weight Wizard — solve balance puzzles by comparing weights • Odd Squad Sorter — sort numbers as odd or even • Rounding Rocket — round to the nearest ten or hundred • Shape Builder House — identify, build and sort 2D and 3D shapes • Fraction Finder — match fractions on visual models • Tile Garden — cover shapes with unit tiles to explore area ADAPTIVE INTELLIGENCE The engine tracks every answer, advances difficulty when ready, drops a level after 3 consecutive misses, and revisits mastered skills at 2, 7, and 21 days. 22 SKILLS ACROSS 5 CHAPTERS Covers the full Grade 2 Common Core curriculum (CCSSM) with extensions into Grade 3: place value, fluency within 20, addition and subtraction within 100 and 1,000, time and money, measurement and data, geometry and fractions. PET COMPANIONS & REWARDS Choose from 8 collectible pets (Kitty, Puppy, Bunny, Bear, Fox, Panda, Unicorn, Dragon). Earn coins and gems from correct answers and spend them on hats, outfits, wallpapers and furniture. Every reward is earned through learning — never purchased.
