Maths@Home assessment app

On October 30th, 2023, we embarked on an exciting journey in early childhood education. Our first meeting with IXN mentors - 2 senior research fellows from UCL's Institute of Education named Laura and Jo - set the stage for a transformative project focused on children's math development through innovative apps and research. In this blog post, we'll highlight key insights from the meeting that laid the foundation for our venture. The Vision: Our mentors introduced a captivating vision — an assessment app to boost children's math skills. Inspired by developmental psychology, our "Maths @ Home" app will equip parents with engaging math activities for their kids. Expanding Horizons: We discussed the need to scale our app for all age groups, moving beyond the initial preschooler target. Adapting content and structure to cater to diverse age groups is a priority. The Research Perspective: We emphasized scripting the flow, designing backend and frontend structures, a...

 In the vast digital expanse where code and mathematical intricacies converge, our team recently convened for an inaugural discussion, marking the commencement of our ambitious project – the development of an innovative Math assessment app. The anticipation was palpable as we congregated on Notion, a versatile collaborative platform that facilitated the structuring of our ideation process. Notion, akin to a contemporary digital workspace, served as the crucible for our collective brainstorming session. The convergence of diverse skill sets and backgrounds rendered our virtual canvas a dynamic tableau of algorithms, user experience aspirations, and design considerations. As we delved into the nuanced technicalities of app functionalities, the symphony of keystrokes and lines of code resonated, weaving the intricate fabric of our digital narrative. Our aspiration? To engineer an app transcending the mundane, harmonizing mathematical proficiency with an engaging and intuitive user int...
