A detailed questionnaire was mailed to 4,500 K-8 classroom teachers in schools across the U.S.; responses were analyzed by grade level and by adoption states, compared to the national averages. 

The firmís educational division, The Learning Co. SCHOOL distributes products under the brand names of MECC, The Learning Co., Comptonís and SoftKey. 

EMRís top ten list includes MathKeys, which covers whole numbers, probability, geometry, fractions, decimals and measurement for grades K-6; Math Rabbit, with four circus-themed activities for grades K-2; and TesselMania, a math creativity tool for grades 3-12.
