Mathivation + Lin Education, students empower education

To teach is to learn twice, inspiring, motivating, challenging and engaging students into peer to peer teaching a digital solution.

The Mathivation model has challenged the norms of mathematical teaching since 2009 evolving into a method since 2012. We inspire, motivate, challenge and engage students in mathematics and programming. In close collaboration with universities and the private sector,primarily manufacturing and tech industry. We server more than 17 000 students yearly.

Lin Education has a leading role in the digitalization of education since 2007. Today we empower more than 250 000 children, students, teachers with tablets and computers for learning as well as our digital tools.

Together we are committed to joint venture into this competition with a solution that is ready to scale within one year and solves 3 out of 4 challenges.

Our program is focused on the student and how to inspire, motivate, challenge and engage into peer to peer learning and teaching through out their education. The framework unfolds into an education system where students teach students as a natural part of their own learning process. A program that is digitally native and strengthened by the possibility of physical sessions. Making education possible in remote or economically weak communities.

In socio economically stronger communities the program increases the students motivation, endurance and creativity in problem solving as the results in Sweden has shown. Students teaching other students in stronger economical environments increases the social mobility between different areas. A strategic approach that we have adapted in cities where public/private transport is more accessible.

Students leave their school to visit a school in the vicinity, another part of town, another town or another country. To inspire, motivate and challenge students there. Another aspect of the program is that is create job opportunities for students as teaching resources.

The Mathivation program is built on this and more than 93% of the staff(30+ in total) are students(16-23 years), most of these students have gone through the program for at least three years. The student’s journey stretches from the 5th grade of elementary school to university.

Rolemodels

What happens in a classroom when a 7th grader, equipped with confidence and didactic techniques, teaches 9th graders how to solve a seemingly impossible mathematical problem? Based on what we have seen, the impact on the student and learning environment has been immensely positive. In our solution we aim for students to be challenged at their level such as in the example above.

Given that this solution is digital first, the level of success of the example above can easily be measured both for evaluating the 7th grader but also for the 7th grader who receive feedback on the session.

Our program is a new application of an existing technology. The solution is focused on the student and how to inspire, motivate, challenge and engage into peer to peer learning and teaching through out their education. The program unfolds into an education system where students teach students as a natural part of their own learning process. A program that is digitally native and strengthened by the possibility of physical sessions. Making education possible in remote or economically weak communities.In socio economically stronger communities the program increases the students motivation, endurance and creativity in problem solving.

The digital framework used together with Mathivation is Loops. Loops helps bring the learning objectives together in visual maps designed to engage the learners and make learning collaborative. Venture out, connect the dots and mark out learning journey utilizing your own knowledge. Highlight what’s important and guide others through the map on the road to understand. Elevate yourself from passive consumer to active producer of digital content and share it with your friends, colleagues and the rest of the world. The digital framework Loops enables all this and what creates the wonderful mix of learners and teachers in one

Together we aim to coordinate our work and create a platform of knowledge in Sweden and Norway to gear for a global expansion together.

Active users who learn from each other and who create knowledge together. It is when we can teach others the knowledge that we ourselves have acquired, as we can seriously see the trend accelerate. By utilizing a digital framework that supports the processes that Mathivation today manages analogously, we can not only reach more people, we can also take care of all the opportunities that digital tools can provide us and up size the quality.

We have a strong foundation in mathematics and programming. Within 2 years we will cover all of the STEM subjects and explore other subjects . Broadening the program. Within 3 years we aim to be active in large parts of the Europe, North America, China and collaborate with UNICEF education.  In five years we envision that the methods of the solution to be adopted by the UN, changing the role of students in education for ever.
