Pre-K Math
A self-paced online Math course for Pre-K: 21 lessons across 6 units. A short placement quiz finds the right starting point, practice adapts as your child answers, and every lesson is marked automatically with progress reported to you.
- Every lesson has at least two different question styles, with hints and step-by-step worked solutions.
- Struggling triggers a gentler re-teach and a warm-up on the missing building block — never a visible drop in score.
- Work this course at its own level: a child can take Pre-K Math alongside a different grade in Language Arts.
What your child learns
The scope and sequence below is generated from the live curriculum, so it is always what the app actually teaches.
