    The group has designed a math game called the Sweet Tree. In the game, children pick two candies from the tree that each have a hidden number. They then draw an operation and must solve the math problem using the candy numbers. If correct, they get to keep the candies as a prize. The goal is to help children practice basic math skills of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in a fun, rewarding way.
