A senior official from the School Education Department told DT Next that the app would have game-based principles to encourage students learn mathematics and it would also have problem solving sheets, lesson plans and real time reporting.
He stated the State government had signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with an Australian-based Matific company for the app. “During the first phase, the application will be available for students studying from class one to five,” he said.
Explaining in detail about the app, the official said it was designed by a combined group of professors, curriculum specialists and educational experts working for the company, who curated the online resource by incorporating automatic-driven assignment. “The app uses logical sequencing and staging to report on topics for every student and class,” the official said.
“The student’s progress will be viewed and tracked using the app reports. The Mathematics online resource is used in schools across the world including the USA Australia, the UK and Asian nations,” he said.
“The app will be available in both English and Tamil and it would be launched for 200 select elementary government schools across the State covering around 10,000 students.” he added.
