Foundation matters in mathematics. Learning one mathematics
topic is never isolated from learning other topics. The concepts
and skills learned in one topic constitute the basis for more
advanced or related topics later on.
PLANETii believes in giving each child questions at his or
her knowledge level to ensure he or she is appropriately challenged
and not discouraged. This is enabled by PLANETii's ability
to continually assess the child's knowledge level in any mathematics
topic or learning category.
Our integrated adaptive learning engine and networked curriculum
underwent an intensive research and development process in
order to produce a closely intertwined and correlated mathematics
syllabus. As a result, we have the ability to automatically
guide the child throughout the entire curriculum based on
the child's present knowledge.
On PLANETii, each child does not solely have a unique progression
of questions within a topic, he or she is also given a unique
set of topics based only on his or her present foundational
knowledge. For example, Jackie has acquired understanding
in "Numbers to 100" and "Basic Addition and
Subtraction within 18". Based on his foundation, PLANETii
recognizes that he is ready to learn more advanced concepts,
and thus will offer him more challenging topics such as "addition
with carrying" and "subtraction with regrouping".
