Develop math skills while having fun? Yes, way! Pick-a-Path has been ranked in three different countries as one of the top three education and kids apps!”

“Not only is it developing their mental math computation skills, but also, the discussion that could be had for problem solving and looking at different patterns in the puzzles is exciting for students.” - Stephanie Fitzgerald (Math Specialist, Pennsylvania)
