Math and basketball DO mix! That’s how Learn Fresh Education Co. figured out how to reach children who may prioritize ball games over numbers. To trick kids into learning about math, the Learn Fresh team developed a mobile app called NBA Math Hoops that takes actual statistics from NBA and WNBA players and turned it into a game to improve basic math skills and understanding.
The game has been a hit with kids and educators and currently, NBA Math Hoops is being used in elementary and middle school programs in 35 cities nationwide — and involving 20,000 students each week.
