Abstract
Education is one of the basic needs of a child. The knowledge imparted through education is
key to the recipient’s growth and skilfulness. In most cases, education is attained by attending
a school (face to face) where several subjects are taught. Of all the subjects taught in schools,
mathematics is a fundamental subject that cuts across all disciplines, hence a significant field
for all school-going children.
For some children, they find it easy to understand basic mathematical concepts and excel
tremendously in the subject. However, quite a number struggle to learn both deep mathematical
concepts and the most essentials skills such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, fractions,
and decimals.
As a result, this project seeks to develop a tablet-based math application for primary school
pupils in grade 1 and grade 2, based on the Ghanaian education system. The app simplifies
addition, subtraction and object grouping for pupils by making it fun through interactive game
like activities.
