Implications - A rise of products that extend into the home to solidify consistent learning are becoming the norm as parents become more concerned with alternative methods of learning.

2. Math Reinvented - Entrepreneurs are revamping traditional math education with engaging and playful tools.
3. Innovative Teaching Devices - New technologies and design innovations are improving the interactive experience of educational tools.

2. Toys/games - Brands are tapping into the playful aspect of education to create innovative products.
3. Home & Lifestyle - The emergence of tactile learning products is extending into homes and shifting how people view education in day-to-day life.
