You might have a phobia for numericals and decimals. Check out or subscribe to Heymath, an internet based learning system, designed to help you overcome your fear of math. The programme is developed specially to tackle the confusion faced by students when they work on a mathematical problem.
According to Nirmala Sankaran, CEO, Heymath, the course is mainly designed for children above 10 years. “Heymath which hopes to break the myth that math is tough is designed for students above the age of ten. This is because at this age children start exploring technologies and can be independent learners,” explains Nirmala.
The programme involves a library of animated online lessons, interactive activities and assessment modules, to name a few features. Says Nirmala, “Maths requires a consolidated learning. If a student gets stuck with a particular concept or method, he or she cannot move forward. In Hey math, we remove the abstract nature and explain the ‘why’ and the ‘how ‘ of concepts, while real-life applications.”
Heymath is applicable to teachers and students as well. It helps teachers to teach and assess, while it allows the students (particularly between grade 5-12) to learn at their own pace.
“We target the confused students(who are confused with how their teachers teach, the anxious parents and the frustrated teacher,” she points out. Those who subscribe to Heymath can interact with their fellow students from anywhere in the globe. “We encourage peers or students to assist each other when they encounter a problem. But, for those who want a personalized service ( When they are stuck whilw solving math problems), we have the helpline where responses are usually provided within 24hours,” reveals Nirmala.
Heymath is implanted at several progressive schools in Singapore and India. Says Nirmala Sankaran, “Heymath is applicable to all school boards” (Particularly the CBSE and the ICIC). The package is priced at Rs.600 for an annual subscription.
Many leading schools in India adopt the programme and there are many others, who subscribe to it at home (the fee is slightly higher for home subscription).
HeyMath is recommended by the Millennium Mathematics Project of the University of Cambridge and endorsed by the Singapore Teachers’s Union.
