台灣學童的數學表現在國際名列前茅，然而學習數學的信心、興趣上卻遠落後其他國家，可說是最缺乏學習動力的一群。
根據加州大學教授Greg Duncan，早期接觸數學的經驗攸關幼兒未來學習的動力，因此設計者根據孩童發展階段，設計一款數學教具——Frindle，透過動手操作、感官刺激、階段式學習，讓幼童在遊戲中培養數感。
Frindle除了活潑有趣的介面設計，還有許多具有創造力及互動性的積木部件，讓孩子在遊玩中培養創造力、滿足好奇心。
繁忙的家長常疏於陪伴，錯過許多珍貴的成長過程。Frindle的遊戲模式創造陪伴幼兒學習的機會，透過親子互動發現數學的趣味，重拾家庭美好時光。

Taiwanese children excel in mathematics globally, but they lack confidence and interest in learning the subject, making them the least motivated group. Professor Greg Duncan from the University of California suggests that early exposure to mathematics is crucial for children's future learning motivation. To address this issue, the Frindle mathematics teaching aids were designed, catering to children's developmental stages, and enabling them to gain a sense of numbers through hands-on manipulation, sensory stimulation, and staged learning.
Frindle's lively and engaging interface design includes numerous creative and interactive building blocks that stimulate children's creativity and curiosity during gameplay. Its game mode provides an opportunity for parent-child interaction, allowing children to discover the fun of mathematics and rekindle the beauty of family time.
