The Math Class that Leaves No Student behind
We are told that everyone should study math. And we know not everyone is good at. Learning math is a sequential process in which each basic concept is a building block for more advanced ones. This nature is often at odds with the traditional education system: the one-to-many teaching method generates a large number of students who cannot keep up with class, and the standardized print textbooks enforce non-interactive problem solving. KnowRe has converted granular-level math concepts, or ‘knowledge units’, and their combinations into computer algorithms. Its online education platform provides individual students with a completely personalized curriculum by analyzing their mastery of each knowledge unit and identifying gaps in understanding. Simon Seojoon Kim, co-founder and CPO of KnowRe, shares the winds of change beginning to blow through the classrooms in Korea and the US. He envisions digital learning that leaves no student behind.
