Young learners will definitely enjoy studying more as the world's leading educational tool Mathletics Student has already been launched on iPad.

According to a recent study by 3P Learning, the motivating force behind Mathletics, two out of three students can access a hand-held device in their home by 2015 since tablet computers are quickly becoming the ideal medium for teaching. With that, the Mathletics Student App is expected to entice more students with its wide-ranging collection of course outlines and evaluations.

Also, Mathletics has a collection of reporting and lesson-building tools that are very helpful to teachers and parents. Designed for the students' respective skills and ability ranging from the age of 4-18, a combination of online games, eBooks, syllabus activities and videos are generated for an entirely engaging learning environment.

Harry Ohlsen, Head of the Mobile Development at 3P Learning, said that "The app is a world first in e-learning. Packing our student interface, extensive curriculum content and a brand new version of Live Mathletics into a tablet involved significant technical challenges. We wanted to go beyond simply making Mathletics work on an iPad, just a website on a tablet - that's not our way. Our user interface, graphic design and back-end teams all put in 110% over many months to make this a reality. We hope students enjoy using the app as much as we enjoyed building it!"

On the other hand, Tim Power, Managing Director of 3P Learning, declared "Mathletics has long since ridden the wave of gamification, advancing beyond it to pioneer what we call the "learnification of gaming". With the advancements in Mathletics as well as our upcoming developments too, this is a real next-generation release. We're going far beyond simply using game environments as a means to engage students. We are creating immersive worlds of learning for our schools, using the latest technology along the way. The iPad app is just another way we are achieving this."

As an accomplishment, Mathletics has already been declared winner of numerous major awards for innovation since its establishment back in 2006. Currently, over 2 million students in more than 150 countries use Mathletics. According to Heraldonline.com, over 15 billion questions and curriculum activities have been completed by the students online.

Mathletics Student is now available in the iTunes App Store where it can be downloaded for free. Students are required to have an existing Mathletics account or subscription in order to launch the application. Meanwhile, a sister app for Android tablets is reportedly scheduled for a release soon.
