The mathematics learning material in this app is adapted from the 2013 curriculum
syllabus compiled by the ministry of education and culture of Indonesia.

Target audience
a. 7-9 years: Children. The seven-year age is called the "age of reason". At this age,
children have been able to read, think logically and solve complex problems.
b. 10-13 years: Preteen or Tween. The recent age of 10-13 is classified separately

 Results
User
Using Slovin formula, the sample is obtained as many as 60 students from the population of 140
students. Sampling was done randomly picking 15 students from each grade level from 3rd to 6th
grade.
There are 4 smartphones used during testing. Testing is done alternately starting from 3rd grader
as much as 15 people. Each student is given 10 minutes of playing time. During the test,
behavioral observations were performed on each student. In the first minute, students are still
trying to understand how to use the apps especially in the log in and register section. Most
students have been accustomed to use smartphones. Some students even claim that they often
play games using smartphones so they aren’t confused while using the new app.

 Results
Based on the observations, the students
seemed very enthusiastic while playing. Even
some of them help their friends to do math
problems. Some students who have played
want to try again because the scores they
earned have been exceeded by other students.
Through this application, students are happy to
learn math. They claim to feel challenged and
want to keep playing until the desired target
score is achieved.
