The problem
59% of students have math-phobia.
Traditional math platforms are boring and uninspiring.
Huge gap between high- and low-level students, difficult for teachers to teach.
The solution
Students will open the app and choose their personal Avatar, then choose between “Battle Mode” and “Story Mode”. In Battle Mode students compete in different disciplines against a bot, other students or in teams. Where they answer math questions to progress. Disciplines can be races, swimming, rowing, obstacle courses, etc.
If the competition is too difficult or the student doesn’t understand the subject, they can go over to “Story Mode”.
In Story Mode they get small lessons, consisting of text and visualizations, to introduce them to new math subjects. After every lesson they will try out their acquired knowledge in Battle Mode where they have to beat a bot to progress to the next level. They can also send a challenge to their friend to beat their score. This enables instant knowledge about whether they understood the subject.
Competing and learning will earn the student points and XP which can be used to buy new Avatars, unlock disciplines or items to show off when competing against classmates. This element will be a focus part of the product, to motivate people to keep using the app and earn as many points as possible. We will tap into as many gaming elements as possible.
Our go to market strategy will be to get teachers interested in the product and use it in the classroom. We will also create content on TikTok to engage students directly in our product.
