<div class="gmail_quote">Math Tutor<br><br>Idea<br>The idea is to develop an application that would make the child good in maths through creative learning and developing problem solving abilities.<br>The application would also use speech-synthesis to make user experience more lively.<br>
<br>Importance<br>There is a need to make the children learn the basic mathematics, operations and to some extent problem solving also. Children needs to learn maths in a very interactive manner. This application proposed to develop an activity that will teach children maths using speech-synthesis and images so that it become fun for them.<br>
<br><br>Use case example.<br><br>A person starts the application.A person can be a user or a guest. A normal user starts from the first level but has a capability to save the current level but as a guest one can enter any level at any time with no saving.<br>
When the person starts this application, he has a choice which profile to start.<br>Based on the profile, he learns a level in the most creative and easy manner. After every level, a test based on the current level is performed.<br>
He goes in the next level only by clearing the test by a minimum criteria in a stipulated time.<br>Thus expertizing in that particular set of basic mathematics.<br> <br><br>To make the application interactive, at various levels, colorful and luring (creams, balls, fruits etc) figures will be used.<br>
<br>Levels<br>Based on difficulty, the application has the following levels:<br> <br> *beginner: This level will include counting and number formation.<br> eg children will be taught "1", "2" up to 100 by means of suitable figures.<br>
this will include derivation of numbers above <a href="http://100.eg" target="_blank">100.eg</a> 123=one hundred and 23(which is already taught)<br><br> *medium: This level will teach tables 2-10 followed by a dogging table test.<br>
<br> *intermediate: This will include basic operations +,-,*,/ in single digit<br> eg 3*7,4-2<br> <br> *higher: This will include basic operations +,-,*,/ in double digits<br> eg 35*14<br> <br>
*expert:This will include basic problems on operations in figures. Hint can be given regarding the operation to be performed.<br> <br> Speech synthesis would be used in all level to make the experience more lively. e.g. "two multiplied by three equals six"<br>
<br>Proposed Features<br> -In the first level, learning counting will include a sequentially generated numbers along with a randomly selected figure from a repository of figures to represent that number. eg :2 can be represented as 2 candies.<br>
-Hint will be pronounced and the child needs to write it down by pressing key(if input is keyboard).This will make him relate sound with number.<br> -The questions in test will be chosen from a set of randomly generated questions from a repository and corresponding hint will be displayed depending upon person's option to display it.<br>
<br> -The test will have to be passed through a minimum criteria in a stipulated time to proceed to the next level.<br> -User can save their previous levels and continue the next time.<br><br>Future Scope<br>1.Increase the operations to roots etc<br>
2.Put problems in statements and not figures.<br>3.Number Game can be thought of in this direction.<br>4.Input method can be further be varied and speaking of number can be incorporated.<br><br></div><br clear="all"><br>
