Follows one learner across years, not one term.

Jemma reads class tests from a photo, finds what each learner is missing, and gives them a short lesson to practise at home.

Every learner in the demo is made up.

Amina's home in Jemma on a phone: My maths for Grade 6, a card to add their own work, and a suggested topic to practise, Fractions.

How it works

  1. A teacher snaps a class test.

    One photo for each page, taken with the phone's camera.

  2. Jemma reads it, code marks it, and finds the gaps.

    A model reads the photo. Code does the marking. Anything Jemma is unsure about goes to the teacher.

  3. Each learner gets a short lesson for tonight, on screen or on paper.

    Learners answer on the screen, or write on paper and send one photo.

Jemma teaches Mathematics for Grades 1 to 12, with the South African CAPS curriculum built in.

Who it is for

For learners

  • Switch between My school and My own, and practise any grade from 1 to 12.
  • Answer on the screen, or on paper with one photo.
  • Add a marked test of your own. Jemma reads it from a photo.
A marked test Amina added from a photo, on a phone: 4 of 6 right, each question with what Amina wrote and a tick or a cross.

For parents

  • See your child's results once the teacher shares them.
  • Practise at home with your child.
  • You see nothing about a child until the teacher says yes to your link.

For teachers

  • Snap a class test. Code marks it and shows the gaps of the whole class.
  • The Long view shows what held for three terms or more, so you can raise it with the family.
  • You approve the topic map, the answer key and every Long view pattern.

The rules it keeps

  • A profile, never a label.

    Jemma shows a pattern, like fractions staying low for three terms. It never gives a child a track, a path or a career.

  • Every claim has a source.

    Each pattern lists the tests and notes it comes from, and a teacher can open each one.

  • The teacher goes first.

    Results and Long view patterns reach a family only after the teacher says yes.

  • Never ranked against classmates.

    A learner is never compared with a classmate, and never sees a rank.
