SYDNEY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 11, 2026--

Lovevery, the early childhood brand known for transforming the way families play and learn, today announced the launch of The Maths Skill Set, a hands-on, screen-free program designed to help children build a better foundation in maths. The new offering follows The Reading Skill Set as Lovevery’s second academic program proven to improve test scores and increase motivation through play.

According to National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) results, approximately 1 in 3 Australian primary and secondary students are not proficient in numeracy skills—a gap that research suggests begins forming well before children begin school.

“Parents know maths matters, but it can be a struggle to support it at home. As children advance in school, maths gets progressively more difficult. The teaching accelerates, concepts start stacking, and if a child doesn't have a solid maths foundation, they often can’t keep up,” said Jessica Rolph, Lovevery Cofounder and CEO. “Grounded in research across developmental psychology, cognitive science, and maths education, The Maths Skill Set is designed to build the foundation children need to feel confident and successfully navigate maths concepts as they advance. A strong maths foundation isn’t going to come from worksheets or an app on a screen. It happens by making hands-on learning fun, so children want to keep coming back to it. That’s exactly what sets this program apart.”

The Results

The Maths Skill Set is proven to improve maths scores and build confidence in both children and parents. 1 In a six-week, at-home study, 93% of children improved their maths scores with just 20 minutes of play per day. Parents reported equally strong outcomes: 100% reported that their child was more enthusiastic and motivated about maths after using the program, and 96% felt more prepared to support their child's maths learning at home.

How it Works

The Maths Skill Set is built on three core principles:

Each part includes 7-9 skill-based games, activities, and storybooks, along with a parent Play Guide, and free access to expert maths content through The Lovevery App. Parents gain background knowledge, play tips, and confidence to guide each activity–no teaching expertise required.

The fifth and deciding game of the PWHL’s semifinal playoff series between Minnesota and Montreal set for Monday night was postponed because of player safety concerns related to an illness.

Hours after announcing Game 5 between the Frost and Victoire would not be played on time, the league announced it was rescheduled for Tuesday night in Laval, Quebec.

Two people with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press the illness is limited to Montreal. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the PWHL is not revealing that information.

The PWHL said medical assessment has determined that the symptoms are not consistent with hantavirus.

The rodent-borne disease has drawn attention in recent days after several Canadians were identified as contacts linked to a deadly outbreak aboard an Antarctic cruise ship, though no Canadian cases have been confirmed.

“The decision was made following consultation with medical personnel and in accordance with the league’s commitment to the health and wellbeing of players, fans, staff and all those involved in the competition,” the PWHL said in its initial news release.

The winner will face the Ottawa Charge in the Walter Cup Final after they defeated the Boston Fleet in the other semifinal matchup. Minnesota won the title in each of the league’s first two years of existence and is going for a three-peat.

The regular-season champion Victoire and third-seeded Frost have alternated wins, splitting each of their two games at home, including Montreal's 1-0 triple-overtime win in Game 2. The Frost forced Game 5 with a 3-1 win at Minnesota on Friday night.

The teams flew together by charter to Minnesota for Games 3 and 4 but traveled back to Montreal separately on Saturday.

The PWHL said earlier in the day that Games 3 and 4 of the best-of-five final at Ottawa were set for May 18 and May 20.
