Burlingame, Calif., based TenMarks offers personalized math instruction for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. Amazon said the company’s programs are used by “tens of thousands” of schools. “Together, Amazon and TenMarks intend to develop rich educational content and applications, across multiple platforms, that we think teachers, parents and students will love.” Dave Limp, Amazon Kindle vice president, said in a statement.
