by Andries van Ross on September 18, 2022

What is the Maths Incubator?
• It’s a South African developed, Interactive Online Maths Computer Program for
high school learners and teachers
• It’s 100% aligned to the CAPS curriculum
• The program consists of interactive exercises, in−depth video lessons and “Fun
Explorations”
• Exercises vary from Routine to Complex to Problem−solving
• Video lessons provide conceptual understanding, interconnection between
different parts of Maths as well as applicability to real−life situations as far as
possible
• “Fun Explorations” allow the learner to explore Maths concepts more deeply
through animation
• The Maths Incubator creates a deep understanding of Mathematics

Benefits to Learners
• It′s like having a tutor next to you 24/7 giving the learner CONTROL,
INDEPENDENCE and CONFIDENCE

• Learner can progress at own pace with the ability to “Rewind”, “Pause” and “Fast-
Forward” video lessons

• Learner gets immediate feedback when doing exercises, thereby having the ability
to self-correct with the aid of the video lessons
• Learner can use the program for revision or to work ahead of the teacher
• Program can be accessed anytime, anywhere and from almost any smart device
• The program has the potential to increase learner Maths marks by up to 25%

Benefits to Teachers
• The teacher gets detailed reports on how often learner signs in, % progress
per chapter and test results on each chapter
• The data coming from the platform gives the teacher the ability to manage
learner performance proactively and to almost “predict” learner
performance before actual exams
• The teacher can direct learners to specific lessons and exercises in the
program for learners to prepare for class lessons upfront. This will ease the
teacher’s load in the class
• The program can be used the assist both the “slow” and “fast” learner in the
class
• Teaching of Maths therefore happens both inside and outside of the
classroom

Implementation in a School
• The Maths Incubator must become a “prescribed” resource in the school

• All learners and teachers are therefore signed up and the school pays a once-
off fee for a 12-month subscription
