Inspiration
The learning status of mathematics of the my nation is alarming .
i was in the constant search of why this happen .why In classroom , despite delivering the same content at the same pace by the same teacher , they are at the different level of mathematical skill . Further more , Grading just tell what student does wrong with those skill , but don't tell why they are wrong in those skill .
In the quest of solving this problem , i Built this app math sopan with the help of gpt 5.6 and codex .
What it does
Math Sopan provides mathematics assessment for Grade 4–5 learners based on the curriculum of nepal education board .
A learner answers seven short fraction questions. Math Sopan changes the next question based on each answer and looks beyond right or wrong to understand the learner’s thinking.
WIth the help of gpt 5.6 , It then suggests what to learn next and creates simple lessons and practice in English and Nepali. Teachers can see each learner’s strengths and struggles, while points, badges, and animations make the journey fun.
How we built it
We built Math Sopan as a fast and simple web app.
Behind the scenes, its smart engine chooses questions based on each learner’s answers. It checks their skills, finds common misunderstandings, and decides the right next step.
OpenAI then turns this evidence into clear feedback and learning materials in English and Nepali. The app runs securely on Netlify, saves each learning journey, works across devices, and gives teachers useful reports.
Challenges we ran into
First of all , i feel really hard and tedious to define the scope of project . The vision of the project was ambitious and requirement of project seems vague . Finally , i decided to go just for fraction for now .
Next was using gpt 5.6 on codex on my linux machine . I generally install codex through app center , but this app center version did have modl upto 5.3 only . So , i need to unistall and install with the help of npx rather than app center .
I started coding with the python at first . But i found that ui was clumsy and i was not familar to deploy the python applictaion live . SO , i pivot to the react and choose netlify to deploy the project .
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud that Math Sopan goes beyond giving a score. It attempts to explain what the learner may be misunderstanding and turns that evidence into an immediate learning activity.
What we learned
I learned the scoping down the project for right project defination to implement properly . SImilarly , choice of tools and tech stack is also important things to be learnt from .
What's next for Math Sopan
Fractions are only the first step. We plan to turn the MVP into a reusable diagnostic platform covering other topics of class 4-5 mathematics .
