East Liberty-based ed-tech platform Duolingo Inc. celebrated the launch of its newest product on Wednesday called Duolingo Math, which is now available in the Apple App Store for iOS devices.
Targeted primarily at elementary-level students, Duolingo Math wants to make learning the often-loathed subject more enjoyable with thousands of five-minute “bite-sized” lessons. Duolingo (NASDAQ: DUOL) plans to use the same gamification tricks found in its language learning product to make this process more fun and to encourage users to want to brush up on skills learned in the classroom or to learn new ones for their age level. Adults could also benefit from the new app as the company is touting daily brain training challenge activities for all ages.
Duolingo Math is the company’s fourth main product since its founding 10 years ago and its first product that goes beyond the language-based educational offerings that tens of millions of users around the world have flocked to over the years. Its launch comes just days after the latest report from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), which found that the country’s math scores for fourth and eighth graders have seen their largest decline since the organization began assessing such figures in 1990.
