Build a better math foundation this summer

93% of 4- and 5-year olds significantly improved their math scores, as measured by the Preschool Early Numeracy Screener (PENS). They increased their math scores by 42% in just 6 weeks. 

100% of parents reported their child was more enthusiastic and motivated about math.

As reported in a 6-week study of 28 families.

The Math Skill Set is based on research showing that children learn math best when they understand both the “how” (procedural knowledge) and the “why” (conceptual understanding). It uses hands-on materials to help children see and explore math concepts, and follows the Concrete, Representational, Abstract (CRA) model, which is widely used by teachers and math experts.

In this approach, children engage with math in a concrete way using objects they can see and touch. They are introduced to representational learning through drawings or visual models, and work with abstract symbols like numbers and equations. This framework helps children build a deeper understanding and connect ideas across different ways of thinking.

Timing will vary by child, of course, but you should plan on at least 4-6 months per Part. That said, the games are designed to be fun far beyond this time period.

Yes. The Math Skill Set helps children build a deeper understanding of math concepts and connects math to real life. It supports what children are learning in school by helping them make sense of concepts through deep, fun, and repetitive play, and build confidence as learning accelerates.

Our goal is to help your child feel comfortable and confident with math so that it never feels intimidating, and so that they can keep up as they advance in school. The Math Skill Set helps them build a positive math mindset starting at home.

The Math Skill Set includes independent play and some self-correcting activities.

You don’t need to know how to teach math. We provide support for parents, including a physical Play Guide and videos that show how to use the playthings and games, how to recognize when your child is ready for the next part, and expert guidance to help make math feel fun and approachable.

You’ll also find guidance on how to interact with the materials based on your child’s current skill level, with videos that show how to increase or decrease the level of challenge.

The Math Skill Set is designed as a three-part program that you can purchase individually, starting with the part that’s right for your child. It is not a subscription.

Part 1 is available now and ships right away. You can also choose a Part 1 and Part 2 bundle to secure Part 2 in advance, for $30 off. Part 2 will ship later in October 2026 when it becomes available on its own.

Part 3 is coming in 2027 and will build on earlier skills with more advanced problem solving and real-world math applications.

The Math Skill Set is unlike anything else out there. It’s screen-free and  supports early math learning by connecting it to real life through hands-on experiences.  Instead of videos or worksheets, children explore number concepts in ways that are proven to deepen math learning.

No, The Play Kits and The Math Skill Set are complementary. The Play Kits incorporate early math learning, but The Math Skill Set provides a deeper and wider foundation.

Yes. A period of free access to The Lovevery App begins at the time of purchase, so you can start exploring the content right away. Each individual part includes 6 months of free app access. 

If you purchase during pre-order, you’ll get early access to the app before your product ships. Then, your full 6 months of access will restart when your product is delivered, so you can continue learning and get the most out of the experience.

• Numeracy is a really important focus of early math instruction. So it sounds like your child already has a great start! 

• What makes Part 1 especially valuable is that it goes beyond getting the right answer and builds the deeper understanding that supports long-term math success. For example, children learn flexible addition strategies that make mental math much easier as numbers get greater. Instead of solving 18 + 9 by counting, they learn to break the 9 into 2 and 7, turning the problem into 20 + 7 — a much more efficient way to think about numbers mentally. 

• Part 1 also develops other foundational math skills beyond numeracy, including patterns, measurement, and spatial reasoning. So while your child may already be comfortable with some of the concepts, the deeper focus on the “why” behind math skills is what helps create a strong foundation for more advanced learning later on. We saw this in our testing of Part 1 with 3 and 4 year olds. Oftentimes, children’s proficiency was overestimated by parents. Math fluency and depth require repeated practice, and Part 1 of The Math Skill Set makes that practice really fun.
