The project stems from research on inclusive digital learning carried out at the Faculty of Education. It was not only the coronavirus pandemic that showed that digital learning applications would play a more important role in school teaching. A founding team now wants to develop an inclusive mathematics app that enables customized learning both in and outside the classroom. The app will initially be developed for first and second graders. Torben Rieckmann, a research associate at the Faculty of Education who specializes in learning support for children with trisomy 21, came up with the idea. Rieckmann has already received several awards for his mathildr app, which familiarizes school students with the 0-20 number range using a special representation of sets.
