MANILA -- "Mathplus", the web-based applications designed for Grades 1 to 11, can now be downloaded by anyone, an official of the Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (DOST-PCIEERD) said Wednesday.
DOST-PCIEERD executive director Enrico Paringit said the PCIEERD funded the Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) project for PHP4.9 million.

"The app can be downloaded for free. It can be used by teachers, administrators, students, parents, and anyone interested," he told the Philippine News Agency.

The app was launched virtually last Friday, according to PCIEERD.

"The primary goal of every app is the development of problem-solving and critical thinking, which are the twin goals of mathematics education. It focuses on developing the following skills and processes depending on the grade level: knowing and understanding, estimating, computing or solving; conjecturing, proving; visualizing and modeling, connecting," Paringit said.

He said the app was developed for statistical learning.

"There are teaching guides depending on the grade level, as to how the app is used. (For instance, in the website, there is the) Quick Images, which can be used for Grades 1 to 6. The version is arranged per grade level on the website," he added.

The project was developed by ADMU mathematicians, mathematics educators, and hired software developers.
