Problem
Many students struggle to retain essential math skills learned in the classroom, leading to difficulties in building a strong foundation for advanced topics and performing well on standardized tests like the GCSE. Traditional methods of revision often require significant teacher preparation and may not be tailored to individual student needs, resulting in inefficient use of study time.
Solution
Arc Maths is a personalized learning app designed to reinforce core math skills for students aged 11-16, covering all topics within the GCSE syllabus. The app uses spaced repetition and interleaved practice to strengthen long-term memory and improve knowledge retention. By tracking each student's knowledge base, Arc Maths delivers targeted questions that address individual weaknesses and systematically revisits forgotten topics with increasing time intervals until the knowledge is secure. The platform also provides a tutor portal that identifies specific areas of weakness to target in tutoring sessions and measures student progress over time.
Target Audience
The primary users are secondary school students aged 11-16 preparing for GCSE exams, as well as math tutors and schools looking for tools to reinforce core math skills and track student progress.
