Duolingo have announced the launch of its highly-anticipated Maths App.
The Duolingo Maths app provides a free and universally accessible tool with two different learning options:
- Students can focus on primary school level maths covering classroom topics
- Adults looking to sharpen everyday maths skills / improve overall brain health, can choose to focus on Brain Training – covering more advanced topics
New research from Duolingo conducted ahead of the app’s launch uncovered global attitudes towards maths:
- 30% of people would rather join a real life Squid Game than take a three-hour maths test
- More than a third (34%) say they struggled with maths in primary school
- Parents who struggled with maths earlier in life are twice as likely to be frustrated, stressed, or embarrassed while doing maths with their children, compared to parents who did not
- In Britain specifically, Duolingo’s data showed: 30% of British men rated maths as their favourite subject compared to 13% of British women, who preferred reading and art, at 18% respectively
The offering builds on Duolingo’s mission to make educ.ation freely available, and create engaging learning environments using gamified techniques such as: animations, interactive exercises, characters that cheer learners on along the way.
