■ Comment by Ken Oshiro, Principal of Okinawa AMICUS International Elementary School

“In order to help children learn math in a fun and proactive way, our school has decided to introduce the digital teaching material “Mathmaji”. According to the teachers who have actually used it in trials, the children's ability to think and understand is naturally nurtured through the use of animations and interactive problems. Many positive comments have been received from the children, such as “It's easy to understand!”, “It's like a game and it's fun!”, and “It's connected to the lessons at school, so it's easy to do homework and revision at home”. In order to deliver the excitement of the “I understand!” moment to all children, we would like to continue to make further use of Mathmaji in the future.”
