Curriculum Language & Media Files

The Little Math English Curriculum contains lessons in written and recorded American (US) English and Mandarin Chinese by default. You can easily change the language in your lessons via the Number's Library settings.

Each number and operation file adheres to BrillKids standards, and comes with 2 professionally recorded voices and you have the full use of 7 interesting icon sets (icons which illustrate quantity.)

 

Lesson Types

In Semesters 1 and 2 of the curriculum, you will see these types of lessons - more than once a session in some cases:

1.  Quantity

With lessons on quantity, you can help your child understand the reality of numbers (instead of just the symbols - 1, 2, etc. - that represent them). This will give your child a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts.
