Inspiration
During our thinking process we started to brainstorm simple tools and ideas that can improve a student's education. At one point I thought of how an app has benefited my sister. She used to do a math problem on an app when she wakes up every day to let her get mentally prepared for the day. Simple yet effective, this inspired us to create this app. We altered the idea to direct it towards a tool for elementary school students.
What it does
It consists of simple math problems for elementary students to do. It also ranges in difficulty (from 1st to 5th grade), so the student can find a problem that matches their level.
How we built it
We built it using the swift coding language in XCode and simulated it using a phone simulator.
Challenges we ran into
An obstacle we faced was adding random mathematical operators into our code. Initially, we wanted to randomize the operators for 4th and 5th graders but were unsuccessful due to constant syntax failures despite heavy debugging.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were both extremely proud of our ability to learn and code a fully working app in one day using a new coding language. We were also proud of our ability to transfer our knowledge from Java and C++ into making this project.
What we learned
A LOT of swift and its syntax!
What's next for Daily Math Randomizer
Since we didn't succeed in creative random operators, we will do our best to create that in the near future. Also, we plan to add more UI, better backgrounds and images, and a textbox for user input and interaction.
