Summary
Osmo is launching its Math Wizard educational games series, which lets kids learn math at their own pace and helps parents augment pandemic schooling.
What kids need are games that are less intimidating than most math lessons, he said.
The series teaches math through fun, hands-on, narrative- and adventure-driven games, where kids learn math by touching and manipulating objects and experimenting with everyday applications of math.
These self-paced games help kids build confidence and are perfect for digital learning at home, Sharma said.
Sharma calls this kind of learning "Phygital," as it combines physical objects and digital learning, and it is the foundation of games Osmo has created since 2013.
Osmo has already reached millions of children through its games and apps that combine tablets and physical objects such as letter blocks.
Math Wizard games aim to alleviate some of this anxiety by creating joy and excitement within a non-threatening, learning environment, Sharma said.
