Bamboo Math is designed to reflect elementary school curriculum covering grades K through 5 (Years 1 through 6 in the UK). Bamboo Math is divided into three learning modules – Number Sense (counting, place values, number patterns), Operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division; word & number problems), and Measurement, Time, & Money (linear, volume, money, calendar, time). Learning modules are divided into units. Each round of math exercises includes problems from more than one module. Problems feature a fun mix of animals (e.g., tarantulas, octopuses, penguins, & more) and objects (flashlights, alarm clocks, umbrellas, & more). Children with a screen-based Alexa device (i.e., Echo Show, Fire TV, Fire tablet) see images that enhance the learning experience. --- MULTI-USER SUPPORT: Families can set up accounts for up to 6 users, so each child can learn at their own pace. Content available includes free access to a set of basic and grade level problems for each math learning module, for children in Kindergarten through 5th grade. --- IS BAMBOO MATH FREE? Yes! Anyone can use Bamboo Math exercises at no cost. --- REVIEWS If you love this skill, please let us know by giving us a customer review in the Alexa skills store! --- MORE INFO ON BAMBOO MATH Examples of exercises & problems include:

Note: To make things easier for children to understand, we refer to each grade level as climbing one of the following trees (K – Banana Tree, 1 – Coconut Tree, 2 – Apple Tree, 3 – Oak Tree, 4 – Pine Tree, 5 – Lemon Tree). As children progress through the units in Numbers, Operations, and Measurement, Time, & Money, they advance from lower to higher levels on each tree. --- WE ALSO OFFER A GUIDE TO USING BAMBOO MATH AT guide.bamboolearning.com. --- BENEFITS OF OPTIONAL ACCOUNT LINKING AND BAMBOO GROVE Parents can sign up for an optional Bamboo Learning account by going to Bamboo Grove at grove.bamboolearning.com.
