KooBits makes Math easy for our kids
Yes, I absolutely agree that Math is one of the toughest subjects that we learn from school. It may not be everybody's favorite but for some, it is. Based on my experience with my son, I really didn't have a hard time teaching him his mathematical subjects, actually, modesty aside, he always gets high grades and sometimes he either perfects his scores in the tests/ exams or he only had few mistakes.
Well, that is something that I am really thankful for. Since he is so good in Math, we decided that probably it is better for him to take up E.C.E. (Electronics and Communications Engineering) in one of the prestigious schools here in Metro Manila. Actually, he is now on his second year and a scholar, thank God ;))
But what about those parents who are having difficulties in looking for ways or much easier means for their kids to learn math? Are you one of them? Or do you know anyone who are into that kind of situation? You know what, dear amazing readers, wanna tell you that, you're reading the right article! This is the perfect time to tell you that, KooBits, a group of innovative educators and technologists
developing digital tools and platforms to help children learn better, offers a
happier ending through its latest product, ProblemSums.
It transforms Math problem-solving into daily learning
activities, and enables students to tackle Math challenges as and when they are
free and willing, yet retain the element of competition.
At the same time, ProblemSums responds to the technology
boom in smartphones and tablet computers which has transformed lifestyles and
created a lot of opportunities for learning on-the- go.

CEO, talks about Motivation Dynamics and how it’s making learning more fun for
kids
“There is an increasing need to re-design traditional
learning systems and content delivery to cater to a world where mobile
technologies are proliferating,” says Stanley Han, the CEO and co-founder of
Personal e-Motion Pte Ltd/ KooBits. “Lifestyles have shifted away from the time
when learners had a couple of uninterrupted hours to immerse themselves in
educational activities."
Han observes that a student's time is being eroded by things
outside of education in the modern world. "We want to redesign our content
to cater to the new lifestyle in order to effectively engage today’s digital
natives,” he says.
Designed to cultivate the potential of children in the
subject, ProblemSums features challenging word problems as well as a
differentiated skills map to maximize their level of proficiency.

Toengi-Walters talks about her wonderful experience with Koobits
“Each question from standard skills has 100 variations with
their context, objects, quantities, and answers change with different
permutations,” explains Loh Cheng Yee, chief education consultant for the
KooBits Math portal. “But each one follows a consistent problem-solving
pattern.”
The questions also go beyond the fill-in-the blank format as
individual problem-solving process is documented, notes Yee, who has authored
several texts and workbooks for primary schools.
A teacher in Catholic High School and Hwa Chong Institution
for 18 years, she also highlights the importance of immediate feedback
mechanisms in ProblemSums as well as the inclusion of homework, tests, and
auto-checking to guide the students. Official Math Olympiad questions were
added to challenge them.
“The non-routine high-ability questions aim to stretch
students’ thinking and deepen their understanding. And every topic has
sub-topics for a variety of question types so we provide detailed analysis of
their proficiency,” says Yee, also a member of the Question Committee of the
Singapore-Asia Pacific Mathematical Olympiad for Primary Schools (AMPOPS).
Against expectation, technology does not constrain the
proven benefits of personalized learning or traditional classroom teaching.
Similarly, ProblemSums enables individual performance analysis, while students
can even form study groups to encourage both collaboration and healthy
competition.
“Koobits tackled the most difficult part of a child’s
learning journey—motivation. By letting a child compete for top honour, my
daughter is motivated to become the highest scorer and was actually learning
along the way without knowing that she was actually learning,” admits Koh Shoon
Kuan, parent of Koh Kai Qi of Anchor Green Primary School, a ProblemSums
patron. “She plays and learns. It is great!”
