"My teaching is made considerably easier, since the game is simple to individualize. I have 27 students in the class, with differing competence. Now I have the possibility to target the correct level for each child."
- Lotta Nilsson, primary school teacher in Lilla Alby School, Sundbyberg, Sweden:

"An incredible app! It taught my 4 year-old to subtract!"
- Susanna Lindström on Facebook

"While I find that much mathematics teaching material, especially for lower age groups, has considerable flaws, I think that Math Bakery significantly improves a child’s numeracy and understanding of the how and why of the ‘position system’ of reckoning."
- Per-Olof Bentley, senior lecturer in mathematical didactics at Gothenburg University:
