This Children’s day, Cuemath, India’s leading home-based after-school learning programme for math, launched ‘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 plus Cuemath centers. These stories have been broadly divided into three levels — Class K-2, Class 3-5, and Class 6-8. Within each categories, there are a set of characters who embark on Math-based adventures in stories. It includes Thomas Tallman and Friends for Class K-2, Zero-Squad for Class 3-5 and Kalina and the Shards of Singularity for Class 6-8. Each story would be released periodically over a series of classes, incentivising students to consistently attend and perform well. “This is one of the most extensive gamification exercises ever undertaken in education. We’ve 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. 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,” Manan Khurma, Cuemath’s founder said.
