Specifically concerning Math?

Hi,
Looking for confirmation that these apps are looking to specifically close the 'Gap' in Math skills, rather than a range of school subjects? It seems that way, just wanted to make sure.
Thanks!

    a. Instructional. Instructional Applications must do at least one of the following: (x) teach middle school students math individually or help them to practice their math skills; (y) help educators deliver math content or lessons to middle school students; or (z) assist middle school math educators with professional development related to classroom instruction.

    b. Administration/Engagement. Administration/Engagement Applications must do at least one of the following in the educational context for middle school: (x) enhance communication between a student’s school and parent or guardian; (y) help educators to manage classrooms or student groups; or (z) help educators to collaborate, share, or get feedback from each other on best practices, curriculum, or other educational tools.

    All the best,
