Duolingo Expands Its Math Services for More Advanced and Personalized Learning
The popular language learning app is also running back-to-school discounts on subscriptions now through Sept. 11.
Duolingo, the popular language learning app, is broadening its offerings to include advanced math courses tailored for K-12 students. This expansion aims to provide a more personalized and comprehensive learning experience. Duolingo Math already covers fundamental topics from grades 2 through 12 based on the US standard curriculum.
To further enhance the platform, Duolingo is introducing grade-specific guides for parents, beginning from Grade 2 through 8. These guides aim to elucidate the lessons and concepts children need to master each year.
Additionally, Duolingo Math will feature a Math Coach, an interactive tool that allows students to converse with Eddy, a character capable of answering queries or offering step-by-step guidance. For more challenging problems, Zari, a Duolingo character, can help break down complex issues into manageable steps. Students can activate a help button within the lesson plan to receive additional assistance or practice with specific math concepts.
Initial results from a study involving rising eighth graders (usually 12 or 13 years old) have shown promising outcomes. Participants reported a 14% improvement in their math scores after using Duolingo Math features for about five minutes daily over four weeks. Moreover, 88% of the students expressed feeling more confident in their math abilities following the app's use.
Duolingo is currently offering a limited-time deal: a one-year Super Family plan subscription ($144) is available for the price of a one-year Super Individual subscription ($120).
