Too many students still leave math block unsure what the numbers mean. Visual models light the path, but number sense sticks only when kids put in the reps. That’s the heartbeat of SumoMath: daily microlearning sessions that keep practice short, focused, and doable inside a real classroom schedule. Teachers tell us SumoMath fits because it
