MathU creates a virtual teaching assistant for each student and the adaptive learning system generates a customised learning pathway based on the individual’s performance.
Students have access to immediate feedback on their progress.
The MathU app guides the individual along their learning journey by reinforcing core concepts in the sections they don’t grasp, thus providing assistance that was previously only available to students during one-on-one sessions with teachers.
Students are provided with thousands of exercises, each with a corresponding video memorandum and they can also access the course content offline.
The assessment portion of the app is run via a smart software suite in the background, creating custom sheets that cater to the needs of each individual.
Students who participated in the trial run showed an improvement in average assessment scores of 20% to 30% after making use of the app.
The MathU Infinity student app will be accompanied by a parent app that allows parents in-depth access to understand the concepts that their children are struggling with. It also allows parents to see what needs to be done to master problems.
The app can be downloaded from the Android Play and Apple App stores under the name MathU Infinity.
It is usually available on a subscription basis at R199 per month and course content facilitates both the CAPS and IEB curricula.
‘South Africa has around 250 000 learners taking mathematics who will undoubtedly be anxious about writing Grade 12 this year.
‘There is a great need for a teaching tool that can help the class of 2020 stay on track.’ says MathU CEO, Will Burger.
