Question 1

Is this aligned to any school curriculum?

Accepted Answer

We believe a strong foundation of English, Math and Real World Skills is a universal requirement irrespective of curriculum. Children need to understand and apply certain concepts in their cognitive development years that start from 5 years of age. Hence, while we have studied the content across curriculums and believe that we have a fundamental alignment to core concepts taught in school, we do not focus on a given curriculum.

Question 2

We have 15 levels of increasing difficulty for every subject. The level of a child determines the difficulty of the questions they receive. This level is set based on a free assessment test that we encourage each child to take. When the assessment is not taken, we assign an age based pre-defined level for every child and encourage a game-based assessment to arrive at a customized level of difficulty.

For example, an 8-year-old child is assigned level 10 based on exact age. On taking the free assessment test, the child may get level 9 in English, level 10 in Math and level 11 in Real World Skills. All the daily questions and access to practice questions is based on the customized levels for a child at any point of time.

The difficulty level at which the assessment starts is based on the child’s age. Once the child starts solving the puzzles, the difficulty level will intelligently adjust basis the accuracy of the responses. Accordingly, a customized level of difficulty will be assigned for every subject.
