Getting my youngest ready to start 9th grade has me thinking about all the different school stages we’ve been through over the years. 💚 I honestly wish we’d had something like @Duolingo Math when my older kids were younger. Now it’s helping us ease back into math before the school year starts, and I love that he can build confidence a little at a time before that first day back. If you’re getting your kids ready for back-to-school too, I definitely recommend checking out Duolingo Math! #duolingopartner #duolingomath #backtoshool

Product placement

Duolingo Math ACTS - it is a math learning app that helps students practice and improve their math skills. Removing it would change the video's focus on a solution for math learning. Duolingo APPEARS - it is a brand logo that appears on screen during the app demonstration. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.

Did I ever help you with math or was it like your siblings? It was my siblings. I figured. What do you like about? It's not boring like other they tell you to do in school. It has a system. It has a system where it's like you have a streak. If you get it like rewards you with stuff.
