Global edtech leader Discovery Education today announced new product enhancements to its award-winning DoodleMaths app. Providing self-paced, personalised maths practice from EYFS to KS3, DoodleMaths is trusted and enjoyed by thousands of teachers and pupils across the UK.
Part of the Discovery Education family of solutions, DoodleMaths is a research-based, curriculum aligned digital learning app that boosts student skills and confidence. Designed by teachers , DoodleMaths is filled with interactive exercises that continuously adjust to the unique needs of children, creating a fun learning environment that builds numeracy skills for the classroom and beyond.
DoodleLearning’s product team has worked with teachers and education experts to develop the new enhancements to DoodleMaths, making the app even more intuitive, interactive and accessible. These enhancements include:
● New, interactive lessons
New three-part concept lessons deliver a ‘Connect, Discover and Explore’ lesson structure. Pupils are encouraged to consolidate learning, discover new skills and put learning into practice by engaging with interactive, real-world, in-app tasks.
● New digital manipulatives and models
New interactive tools give pupils a hands-on learning experience that encourages deeper number sense and understanding. DoodleMaths now also includes more images to boost pupil engagement and new animations to bring concepts to life.
● New accessibility updates
New text-to-speech audio (TTS) enables users to play single lines of text while a new glossary helps pupils to instantly access definitions of unfamiliar words. In addition, a new approach to UI design enables learners with low vision and colour blindness to distinguish text and non-text elements. Hundreds of questions within the app have also been redesigned to align with accessibility best practice.
● New curriculum design
DoodleMaths now covers even more of the primary maths curriculum – particularly at EYFS. Shorter, snappier lessons also enable pupils to complete a Doodle session and earn rewards in as little as ten minutes.
Steve Richards, UK Product Manager at DoodleLearning said,
“These new enhancements and updates to DoodleMaths make it even easier for pupils – including those with differing abilities – to access high-quality learning experiences that support increased achievement. We are committed to ensuring every pupil using DoodleLearning can progress at their own pace and grow in confidence, and we look forward unveiling even more updates to our award-winning suite of apps very soon.”
Designed to create every child a personalised learning experience tailored to their needs, DoodleLearning also helps to boost pupil confidence and ability. A study by the University of Bath showed that children who use DoodleMaths for 20 minutes a week are four times less likely to experience learning loss than their peers. Research also found that using Doodle ‘little and often’ doubles a child’s rate of progression.
Further updates to DoodleLearning are in the works and scheduled for release throughout 2025/6.
