This Children’s day, Cuemath, India's leading
home-based, after-school learning program for math, launched a first-of-its
kind ‘Mathematical Universe’ for students across K-8 to engage them better in
order to strengthen their foundation in the subject. All Cuemath’s 20,000
students will be able to experience this form of learning through stories on
the Cueapp across 2500+ Cuemath centers starting today.
These stories have been broadly divided into
three levels – Class K-2, Class 3-5, and Class 6-8. This has been done after
carefully analyzing the students’ responses to content across media like
storybooks, puzzles, games, apps and televised programs. Each story would be
released periodically over a series of classes, incentivizing students to
consistently attend and perform well. The objective behind this is to engage
the students to strengthen their problem-solving ability and increase their affinity for Math.
“This is one of the most extensive
gamification exercises ever undertaken in education. We have created all the
characters and the fictional universe they belong to with immense detail,
keeping in mind the triggers for children across different age groups,”
said Manan Khurma, Cuemath’s founder, and CEO. “We truly believe
that students can understand mathematics better by themselves, simply by
following their heroes on thrilling feats and escapades that pique their
curiosity into the underlying scientific processes. With this type
of learning we want to help remove the fear of mathematics in children and
bring them closer to strengthening this life skill,” he added.
Within each of these categories, Cuemath has
developed a set of characters who embark on Math-based adventures in stories
that enable the student to tangibly interact with the infinite possibilities of
the Mathematical universe:
· Class K-2: Thomas Tallman and Friends - These are stories that focus on the
wonders of math and logic in the natural world, and in the immediate world that
the younger children live and play in. Thomas Tallman is the newest kid in the
odd little town of Oddity, and quickly becomes the town's expert problem-solver
when he discovers a book on Math. Expect exciting times on bicycles and
seesaws, discoveries in growing plants and telling time with shadows, and the
joys of flying kites!
· Class 3-5: Zero-Squad - These are stories about an intrepid
crime-solving detective duo, Eka and Dvita - the "Zero Squad." Raised
by an honest and upright District Collector, their family is often transferred,
so the stories take place against the rich backdrop and history of the smaller
towns and cities of India. Get ready to crack cases that even adults cannot,
for brains to overpower the local goons' brawn - for Eka and Dvita are most
certainly superheroes, with the superpowers of logic and reasoning.
· Class 6-8: Kalina and the Shards of Singularity - These stories, for our oldest students,
take place in a world reminiscent of the Arabian Nights - but with
intergalactic space-travel in a not-so-distant future. We follow a young rebel,
Kalina, as she travels across the universe with her trusted AI partner/sidekick
(they can't decide which one), the Djinn. Get ready to explore space/time
continuums, break complex codes, and discover the mysterious mathematical
origins of the stars.
