PITTSBURGH, PA – June 11, 2026 – Carnegie Learning, a global leader in education technology, curriculum, and professional learning solutions for K-12 education, today announced that MATHia Adventure has been named “Gamified Digital Learning Solution of the Year” in the 8th annual EdTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by EdTech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies and solutions in the global educational technology market.
MATHia Adventure is a game-based digital math experience for grades K–5 that turns purposeful practice into genuine play. Part of Carnegie Learning's ClearMath Solutions, it delivers game-based, interactive, and responsive practice across multiple learning paths in two tailored experiences: Zorbit's Math Adventure (K–3) and Mathstoria (4–5).
Students use math as a tool to move through story-driven challenges, building confidence and a positive relationship with the subject along the way. Teachers can deploy it during structured lessons or independent work time, monitor student mastery through standards-aligned reports, and use the game library to target specific skills. Available in English and Spanish, MATHia Adventure grows with students and meets them exactly where they are.
“We are thrilled to receive this prestigious award for MATHia Adventure,” said Carnegie Learning CEO Barry Malkin. “This achievement underscores our unwavering commitment to creating engaging experiences that inspire a genuine love for math in young learners. With MATHia Adventure, we have successfully merged the worlds of fun and learning, providing children with an immersive, interactive environment that sparks their curiosity and unleashes their math potential.”
“With MATHia Adventure, students remain engaged while building skills, confidence, and mastery over time,” said Steve Johansson, managing director, EdTech Breakthrough. “Disengagement and/or frustration in mathematics is a widespread challenge. Students at all stages in their math journey often get stuck as they worry about making mistakes and struggle to engage with new concepts. “MATHia Adventure from Carnegie Learning puts math at the center of gameplay, meeting kids where they are. By creating experiences where challenge, achievement, and enjoyment thrive, it sets a new standard for digital math solutions that grow with students, and proves meaningful, flexible, and continuous math support can also be genuinely fun.”
