PBS KIDS digital supplements help early learners develop math building blocks
New research indicates that a technology-supported curriculum can help early learners better absorb STEM subjects, setting up at-risk early learners for more academic success down the road.
A new report reveals a significant gain in math skills among four- and five-year-olds who used the PBS KIDS Transmedia Math Supplement over a 10-week period improved their math learning significantly compared to a control group.
The math supplement includes videos, digital games, interactive whiteboards, laptops, teacher support, and hands-on math materials.
