Researchers found that a third of survey respondents would rather have dental surgery than solve algebraic equations and that roughly 30% of people would rather join a real-life “Squid Game” than take a three-hour college math test.įor those people, the East Liberty-based company dropped its Duolingo Math app today. In anticipation of Duolingo Math, Duolingo’s first departure from its typically linguist-based learning apps, the Pittsburgh edtech company conducted a survey to gauge just how prevalent math anxiety was. I know it’s dark, but I’m not alone in my aversion. If you bumped into me at the time the flu was making its rounds through my campus, I would’ve said it was a cosmic joke that I didn’t get sick and a fever wouldn’t be granting me a reprieve. You can check Duolingo’s apps on the iOS App Store.Any member of group chat and my wonderfully patient advisor knows that during my final year of college, in my dreams, I frequently saw a world where I failed my statistics final and didn’t graduate. The first and best known offers lessons for learning over 40 different languages, while Duolingo ABC helps children learn how to read in an easy and fun way. The app will likely be focused on younger students between 3rd and 8th grade as Duolingo wanted candidates with knowledge about teaching K-12 level math.ĭuolingo currently has two apps available. The job description mentioned that the employee would work with a “small cross-functional team” to develop a new app. The first signs of this new app were seen in May when the company posted a new job opening looking for a learning scientist with a PhD in mathematics. The co-founder mentioned the app during an interview last week, the same day that Duolingo officially listed in the stock market.Īfter the interview, TechCrunch reached out to Duolingo to get more information about the app, but the company declined to provide more detail because it is “still very early” in the development process. Although more details are unknown, the executive said that users will learn more about the project later this month at Duocon, Duolingo’s annual conference.ĭuolingo, best known for its whimsical owl and language-learning app, is working on a new product to add to its growing suite: a math app, according to CEO Luis von Ahn. However, this new app still seems to be far from being officially released as the company has confirmed that the development process is still in the early stages.Īs reported by TechCrunch, Duolingo CEO Luis von Ahn mentioned in a recent interview that the company is developing a math app for kids.
