Psychology Led Learning

scientific method

Unlike many of the older maths sites and apps1, 0Maths has been guided by proven Education Psychology research to have the greatest learning impact.

So what has that changed?

  1. Instant marking
    Practice makes permanent.
  2. Learning oriented, not performance oriented
  3. Non-punitive environment
    Answers are never wrong, but maybe not yet right.
  4. We use multiple choice only where it's the format that will best aid learning.
    Most answered are typed.
  5. No races or peer shaming.
    This is often the origin of maths anxiety.
  6. 0maths is designed to mitigate maths anxiety.
    Maths anxiety affects 1 in 3 adults.
  7. We maximise knowledge retention.
    Spaced learning suggestions
  8. Kids do more maths on 0maths.
    No interstitial games
  9. Plain colours
    Everybody knows kids prefer bright colours; less talked about is that they get very distracted by them.
