Startup of the week: Innovamat, the new way of teaching mathematics

A startup that offers a very innovative way to learn one of the most difficult subjects for children, mathematics, is Innovamat. This startup transforms the elementary classroom and the relationships that exist in it to thrill, stimulate and motivate students to learn. The materials they offer place the student at the center of their own teaching-learning process, allowing them to develop critical thinking. Its mission is to create an emotional and exciting process to engage students through positive stimuli. His project focuses on contextualized mathematics, with varied activities based on manipulative material, applets and techniques that facilitate the evaluation and management of the 21st century classroom. The process is based on students solving problems, reasoning, establishing connections and communicating their ideas, something that differs greatly from the current process, which focuses more on studying without learning and which involves many complaints from parts of the sector. To achieve this, Innovamat offers several tools and materials such as personalized and gamified learning, “learning by doing” or even educational animation series. With these tools, they make it possible for students to learn the simplest bases of mathematics, such as numbering, calculation or statistics, in a much simpler and more immersive way, which make it possible for the student to have a good time while learning and that, thanks to this, they can easily retain information. In this way, they ensure that there is no abstraction in the classroom since the students are focused on learning. In addition, the program has help for the teacher, teaching guides full of advice are offered to promote making the most of the materials. These guides have iconography designed to speed up the teaching process. In addition to guides, teachers also have the opportunity to train. The training aims to make the teacher execute the materials well and feel safe in the classroom while having fun with the students. But while some startups, such as Innovamat, focus on mathematics, others such as Primotoys, use toys to teach subjects as complex as programming. Primotoys, uses its Cubetto toy to teach children computer programming in the simplest possible way. Cubetto a wooden cube with wheels makes the route that the child programs for him on a board with colored arrows. It's a fun, easy and incredibly innovative way to teach a subject as complex as programming. The future of education shows great promise with materials like these. And would you have liked to learn with these new tools?
