Right on.

Living The Red Life

How many do I have now?

Living The Red Life

They get it right.

Living The Red Life

They say five plus four equals nine.

Living The Red Life

And that's the whole idea is can you connect that idea, that activity, with the written mathematics that you're seeing in the classroom?

Living The Red Life

Well, so like our system was designed mainly to be effective.

Living The Red Life

So the way that we're approaching it is that we've got a guarantee that students will learn at least one year of math using our system 30 minutes a day after three months.

Living The Red Life

Not sorry, not 30 minutes a day, 30 minutes per week.

Living The Red Life

So it's 10 minutes per day, three days per week.

Living The Red Life

After 10 weeks, what we measure is about a year and a half of gain.

Living The Red Life

Yeah, the idea was that, like, yeah, if we could make it extremely effective so that it's just 10 minutes per day.

Then you don't have a lot of the challenges of, like, oh, but this is going to take hours.

Living The Red Life

Whereas with the Roblox or something like that, you're going to invest a lot of time, but the effectiveness is not necessarily there.

Living The Red Life

But if you spend hours with it, you're probably going to get the same as our system.

So most of our clients are parents.

Living The Red Life

We cover from counting through algebra.

Living The Red Life

So that's actually students of all ages, but mainly aimed at K through eight.

Living The Red Life

And we are going into schools now.

Living The Red Life

So we have, I don't know, 100 classrooms probably around the country.

Living The Red Life

Maybe more, maybe less.
