PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Osmo's
curriculum-based Math Wizard series is launching a fifth
title, called Fantastic Food Truck, where kids
learn geometry through cooking with shapes. The fresh, hands-on
content helps build first and second grade math skills through
magical, adventure-driven games set in a fantasy world, empowering
kids to exercise creativity and imagination. Osmo also reveals new
data which shows this beloved series has inspired kids to
solve more than 10 million math problems, where their most popular
playtime takes place after school from 3:00
to 4:00 p.m. daily, and average weekly playtime lasts 84
minutes.
"We're so excited to introduce the newest Math Wizard
title, making the series even more valuable. To teach spatial
reasoning and geometric thinking, we found that shapes naturally
occur in foods and cooking," said Margot
Herrman, VP of Marketing at Osmo. "We ran with the food
truck concept, which also lets kids be silly with crazy food
combinations. It's a winning recipe that turns learning into
delicious after-school fun!"
Osmo's Math Wizard series is intended for kids 6-8 years
(grades 1-2), and perfect for after-school and remote learning at
home. Extremely comprehensive and curriculum-based in its focus on
math, the first two titles cover the foundations of addition
and subtraction, and introduce students to measurement standards,
while the third and fourth titles lay the foundations for
multiplication and division, adding more than two numbers,
understanding how equations are formed, and addition and
subtraction fluency; and the fifth title focuses on teaching
geometry. Families can start a child's education by purchasing any
title within the series.

Newest Title & First All-Digital
Game
Fantastic Food Truck focuses on
teaching kids geometry through cooking using different shapes.
Players become chefs who customize dishes using several available
kitchen appliances, while unique customers appear in various stages
across Spellbarow Port, each with different food preferences and a
variety of dish requests--from pizza to sushi, sandwiches, pastries
and more! Fantastic Food Truck features two games and
the box contains: 1 Playmat, 1 Food Truck Manual and 58 Geometric
tiles. Available for iPad and Fire; retail $59.99 at PlayOsmo.com and
Amazon.com.
The two games contained within are:
- Food Truck - where kids learn to cook using geometric
shapes.
- Carnival Crew - kids pack boxes with various shapes and are
challenged to fit all of the shapes and sizes into the box.
Carnival Crew is Osmo's first digital-only game, which
allows kids to play while on the road without using game
pieces, making it extremely convenient for families to travel with
this game.
In both games, kids will learn to:
- Recognize and draw shapes
- Compose two-dimensional shapes
- Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and
cubes
Osmo also offers each of the five Math Wizard titles -
Magical Workshop, Secrets of the Dragons, Amazing
Airships, Enchanted World Games, and Fantastic Food
Truck (each SKU retails $59.99 at
playosmo.com and Amazon.com), as well as a base for iPad or Fire
(sold separately).
