Many parents and learners are feeling the strain of not having access to school and the usual learning facilities.
The teaching of the 2020 school curriculum has been affected by the national lockdown restrictions.
Teachers, parents and learners have had to look for other ways to educate learners.
A group of engineers at MathU Teaching Emporium would like to help with overcoming some of the
Covid-19 challenges by granting free access to their mathematics and science learning platform.
All Grade 10, 11 and 12 learners will be able to download the MathU Infinity app free of charge until further notice.
MathU says it brings a unique approach to learning mathematics and science.
It is designed in a way that it creates a virtual teaching assistant for each student.

The learning system generates a customised learning pathway based on the individual’s performance.
Learners have access to immediate feedback on their progress.
The MathU app guides the individual along their learning journey by reinforcing core concepts in the sections that they don’t grasp.
“The MathU learning suite is the Swiss army knife of tutoring that can greatly advance the academic absorption rate within technical fields, such as mathematics, maximising the quality of learning by providing learners with the necessary information when they need it,” says Will Burger, MathU CEO.
“South Africa has around 250 000 learners taking mathematics who will undoubtedly be anxious to write Grade 12 this year.
“There is a great need for a teaching tool that can help the class of 2020 stay on track.
“We believe that the MathU solution can assist thousands by providing the right foundational tools to prepare for their final examinations.

The app can be downloaded from the Android Play and Apple App stores under the name MathU Infinity.
It is usually available on a subscription basis for R199 per month.
The course content facilitates both the CAPS and IEB curriculums.
