"Go Math! Go also provides feedback as children play, helping them solve math problems in accessible steps, and offers encouragement and rewards to help build confidence and prepare young learners for more complex math knowledge," according to a news release. "In addition to learning math skills, children will build a foundation in other areas essential for healthy development and success in school and beyond, such as self-regulation, following directions, perseverance and working memory."
