PBS is expanding its PBS KIDS Lab site, which offers more than 50 cross-platform games designed to help children ages 2-8 build critical math skills, by including bilingual translations, math tips for families, and a new blog series with content related to kids and media.

PBS and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) are partners on this project, which is part of the ‘Ready To Learn Initiative’, a U.S. Department of Education-funded effort.

The PBS KIDS Lab is available for free, and offers interactive math content for preschoolers.
