Visual maths: learn it by seeing it
Most maths arrives as symbols first and sense later, if at all. Tivumo turns that round: the picture comes first, the rule comes from it.
Predict
Your child makes a guess first — how much white keeps the shade, where the average sits. Committing to a guess is what makes the answer matter.
Move
Then they move the picture: slide, drag, split, turn. Every game can also be played with a keyboard.
See
The answer takes shape in front of them, and close counts. The rule is now something they have seen, not something they were told.
Nine ideas, seen
Each clip is a real game from the app, recorded as it plays.
How much white keeps the same shade? Predict 10, then slide, and watch the colour hold. Equivalent ratios you can see.
Predict, then slide. At 6, the distances on each side are equal. That's what an average really is.
Turn the line until it just touches the curve, instead of cutting it. Slope 6. That's the derivative, and now you've seen it.
Commit to your guess, then slide, and watch the triangle change. 50, 50, 80. Always 180.
Forty percent. The real answer is thirty-six, and close counts. Estimating first is how maths starts to make sense.
Predict 36 degrees, and commit. Now slide, and watch the chance change with the slice. 10% of 360 is 36. Probability you can see.
At 2, and at 3. Those crossings are the roots, where x squared minus 5x plus 6 equals zero. Now factoring has a picture.
Stretch the radius until it just reaches the point. Radius 5, so x squared plus y squared equals 25. The equation is the picture, written down.
Cut too little, and the box is flat. Too much, and it's tiny. Slide to the cut that makes the volume biggest. 1 cm.
The pictures behind the maths
Tivumo uses more than 20 visual models, each one a different way to see an idea — and seeing the same idea two ways is a skill in itself.
