1. What is Blutick?

Blutick is an AI-powered mathematics teaching platform. As students enter their working on mathematical problems they get intelligent feedback as they go and practical help when they make mistakes. Cartoon style teachers give feedback in a supportive way and the platform is designed to supplement good classroom teaching to maximise mathematical confidence and progress. Explanatory video content (over 600 +) has been supplied by teachers from the Perse School, Cambridge UK, with content and new topics being added as the platform develops. The platform currently caters for the UK curriculum age 11-16 but also has good coverage of the curriculum for 9-11 year olds and some coverage from 7-9.

2. How can Blutick make learning more personalized?

Blutick tracks progress, giving summaries of what an individual is good at and what should be practised more, with suggestions for next topics. The platform has been designed to allow students to learn independently, for revision and solo practice. Teachers can view every line of a student’s working and see real time detailed progress summaries. Students can choose in what order to undertake tasks, listen to an explanation and see mathematics written out and drawn in the video. They can choose to practise further at the same level or move on when prompted.
