Kids will head out on their next Zorbit’s Math Adventure with confidence after playing through a new tutorial. Improved interactions, activity feedback, and guidance mean your kiddos will be able to tackle challenges with more independence than ever before.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: The assignment must be assigned to the WHOLE CLASS for it to appear for a teacher in the "Play" area.
