Around 20 % of children struggle with math for reasons mostly unrelated to math (ADHD, dyslexia, different mother tongue, etc.). There is not enough time in a classroom for teachers to address every single child individually. Capacity and sometimes even quality of special education centres differs across regions and cannot cover all kids. Levebee already proved with its previous reading app that this problem can be successfully solved with the help of technology and aim to do the same with math
