Bajillions Early Math Study
Introducing Bajillions Early Math
The Bajillions Early Math Study is seeking early childhood educators to partner with researchers from the Marsico Institute for Early Learning at the University of Denver to explore how playful digital and hands-on learning can support young children's mathematical thinking. Participating classrooms receive access to Bajillions Early Math, a learning system designed for children ages 3–8 years that engages learners through interactive mathematics games and activities.
Bring Research-Based Early Math Learning to Your Classroom




Why Bring Bajillions Early Math to Your Classroom?
Bajillions Early Math is a set of 70+ educational games, all within one child-friendly app. This research-based early mathematics learning system was designed to support children's mathematical thinking through playful, engaging experiences. As children play, the adaptive system personalizes each child's experience by continuously responding to their developing mathematical understanding. Each session begins with an individualized Daily Quest, followed by opportunities to explore additional games aligned with the child's learning pathway.
Through the Bajillions Early Math Study, researchers examine how the platform influences mathematical learning and engagement, helping build the evidence base for effective early mathematics instruction. The randomized control trial will assign children to receive either number or geometry games in the Fall, then switch in the Spring, with in-person child assessments or specific games used to evaluate their progress three times per year.
By participating in the Bajillions Early Math Study, you'll help researchers better understand how digital learning can support young children's mathematical development while bringing an engaging learning experience to your classroom.
Participating educators receive
- Free access to Bajillions Early Math throughout the study
- An opportunity to contribute to research that may shape the future of early mathematics education
- Selected classrooms also receive:
- Professional learning and implementation support from the research team
- Classroom insights into children's developing mathematical thinking

- Classroom insights into children's developing mathematical thinking
- Instructional resources aligned with the Learning Trajectories
- Compensation for participating classrooms
The Bajillions Early Math Study is seeking educators and schools interested in partnering with researchers to support young children's mathematical learning. Your classroom may be eligible if it meets the following criteria:
- You teach children ages 3–8 years
- A school or program administrator is willing to provide a Letter of Support for your classroom. (See Administrator Information Packet to simplify this process)
- Families are willing to allow their children to participate in research.
If you think your classroom meets the study's eligibility requirements, please submit an application. Based on your application, the research team will determine your participation pathway, answer your questions, and support setup and implementation.
Not sure whether your classroom qualifies? We're happy to help. Schedule a call with the research team to discuss your classroom and ask questions before applying.

Why Participate in the Bajillions Early Math Study?
Bajillions Early Math can be implemented as a standalone curriculum or supplement to existing math education to drive student outcomes through interactive games and activities. Developed by early mathematics researchers at the Marsico Institute for Early Learning in collaboration with FableVision Studios, Bajillions combines decades of research on how young children learn mathematics with engaging digital experiences that inspire curiosity, exploration, and problem solving.
As children engage with Bajillions, teachers gain access to classroom insights and actionable information about children's developing mathematical thinking, along with research-based instructional activities aligned with the Learning Trajectories to support classroom instruction that benefits the whole class.
Developed by the Marsico Institute for Early Learning at the University of Denver in collaboration with FableVision Studios, Bajillions is built on decades of research about how young children learn mathematics.
Over the past four years, researchers have worked closely with educators and children to design, refine, and test the platform in real classrooms.
Now, we're inviting additional educators, families, and children to help shape its next phase through the Bajillions Early Math Study.
Every child uses an individual profile so the learning experience can adapt to their unique progress over time. Their starting point is based on their age/grade. After about 5 game play sessions, the system gauges your students' strengths and adapts to their learning needs.
