Numerate

Numerate is a supplementary catch-up math tool for Grades 5–10, designed for schools that need to identify learning gaps and help students build strong mathematical foundations alongside their existing curriculum.

Key capabilities include:

• Granular diagnostic assessment that quickly identifies each learner’s strengths and gaps, including gaps dating back to Grade 1.
• Personalised catch-up plan per student that adapts as progress is demonstrated, moving on when concepts are mastered and slowing down to remediate gaps step by step.
• Structured math building blocks covering 81 key concepts across 7 learning trajectories (with 68 concepts referenced for primary and 81 for secondary).
• Teacher and leadership insights with real-time data to support targeted intervention, parent communication, and strategic decision-making, without extra planning or marking.

Available on Web, students use a tablet or laptop with internet access for about 60 minutes per week.

Target users include schools and education providers (buyers), plus students, teachers, and school leaders who need catch-up support in mixed-ability classrooms.

Notable in the South African market, the tool is offered by Reflective (South Africa) and is positioned as an evidence-based remediation programme designed to improve math outcomes using existing school staff and resources while reducing ongoing teacher admin.
