Results

  • Advanced Math Skills

    A study of 12,000 students showed that children using the app for an hour a week outperformed their peers by 1.5 years in math. Parents also reported improvements in self-confidence, goal-setting, and academic performance.

  • Responding to Children’s Needs

    The app adapts to children’s progress, introducing more complex tasks, rewards, and animations, making learning both engaging and effective.

Challenge

The project was commissioned by an international educational platform. The company’s management chose Cogniteq as the development partner, relying on our experience with similar successful projects in the EdTech domain.

The client requested to develop a web application that would serve as an online math tutor for children aged 5 to 13. The goal was to create a solution that could personalize the learning experience for each child and support their progress in Mathematics. Cogniteq specialists were responsible for the full-cycle development of the web-based platform, focusing on usability, adaptability, and efficient performance.

Solution

We developed an engaging educational app that combines gamified learning with social interaction and creativity. The home page was designed as a playful interface where children can choose lessons, track their time spent on tasks, and explore new challenges in a visually appealing environment. To keep users motivated, we implemented an in-app reward system and personalized dashboards that reflect each child’s progress and preferences.

One of the core priorities was ensuring smooth functionality on tablets, the primary devices for the app’s target audience. We also had to maintain high-quality animation and seamless performance across different browsers, which required a lot of fine-tuning on both the design and development sides.

A particularly complex task was implementing interactive animation throughout the user dashboard. All items in the interface—avatars, decorative elements, and background objects—are animated and react to user interactions. These elements can change size, position, and orientation dynamically. Our developers layered multiple animation assets and built a system that allowed independent manipulation without compromising performance or fluidity.

We worked with JSON animations, requiring tight coordination between design and tech teams. Despite challenges with device and browser compatibility, we ensured a consistent experience through thorough testing and smart platform-specific solutions.
