Learning time
Kids learn by watching short, engaging video lessons.
A strategy you can use to solve multiplication problems is using repeated addition, which means just thinking of multiplication problems in terms of addition. We're going to use this equation, 3 x 4, to help us think of this and this picture is going to help us look at that. So, we have 3 groups with 4 items in each group. So, if we're thinking of this in terms of addition, that means we have 4 items in the first group, 4 items in the second group, and 4 items in the third group. To figure out how many there are all together, we can add them. So, we have 4 + 4 + 4 which equals 12. This means that the answer to the multiplication equation, 3 x 4, is 12.

Recreational screen time
Kids can use the screen time minutes they earned to unlock the apps selected by their parent e.g. games, social media, streaming, etc.

Out of time
When screen time minutes run out, kids are locked out and need to complete more learning in 1Question to earn more time.
