Introduction – An interactive Maths application which emphasises on thinking process

The content in Mathspace matches with the curriculum in Hong Kong, it puts much emphasis on learners’ thinking process in solving questions. To cater for learning diversity, Mathspace offers Adaptive mode task types, hints and timely feedback. Learners can draw mathematics symbols and numbers with their fingers on mobile devices which makes learning Maths a fun and engaging experience.

Features in Learning and Teaching

User interface – ‘Planner’ is where teachers manage and assign learning and teaching tasks. Teachers can overview performance and administrate their classes.
Assessment mode – Teachers can choose among the three types of tasks in Mathspace.
- ‘Adaptive Task’ – The system will feed questions to a learner according to the result of each question. Capable students will receive a harder question while an easy question will be fed to students who need more assistance.
- ‘Custom Task’ – Questions from various topics and levels can be chosen and combined which could then be assigned as homework or assessment.
- ‘Fast-track Task’ – It gives teachers an idea of how much a class knows about a topic before and after teaching.
Handwriting recognition – Mathspace recognises mathematics symbols and numbers drawn on mobile devices. It helps students focus on solving Maths questions.
Assistance – When a learner is stuck, he/she can receive hints and videos. Each step will be recorded and evaluated. Learners can be prompted whenever they need help. It encourages learners to try to explore on different topics.
Learning reports – All the steps made in solving a question will be recorded. Teachers can identify strengths and weaknesses of each learner and fine-tune their teaching plans or strategies.
Teaching materials – Rich resources are available in ‘eBook’ which help teachers in lesson preparation and students in knowing more about certain topics.
