The application: RE’BER Line 1.0

Innumeracy is quite frequent at schools and this causes the deficiency in skills to deal confidently with many of the mathematical challenges of modern life. However, most of society does not see it as a problem. In fact, many people boast about their innumeracy. This frivolousness toward the prevalence of mathematics has become an accepted norm that resulted in many school leavers to become innumerate to the extent that they are incapable of dealing with the challenges of everyday life such as in the aspects of finances, to home maintenance, and to personal healthcare. Consequently, halfway through the academic year 2019/2020, learning methods were delivered through distance learning to meet the compulsory physical distancing policy as stipulated by the government. The awareness of online learning is currently adopted by educational institutions worldwide to provide students with ongoing education during this endemic phase, an application called RE’BER Line 1.0 was designed and developed that could be utilized as an adaptable tool for the educational process. Being a contemporary application, it can promote active learning, develop various skills among students, help them to overcome their innumeracy and improve their engagement with the subject. This app is an improved innovation than the previous invention of physical real number line ruler (RE’BER LINE RULER) because it develops their math skills especially in mental calculation, while retaining their entertainment and attention span during lesson. Like any other new tool, this app attempts to take on a new feature to make it more interactive by providing gamification features which can be installed in all technological gadgets. Nevertheless, for today’s students who neglect the offline world for the benefit of virtual world, this application is believed to overcome their disabilities and poor academic performance in mathematics.
