Learning mathematical content can be daunting and frustrating for students who are being challenged by questions on a paper. Why not make learning maths fun and enjoyable to encourage students to have fun while still learning content. ICT has become a major aspect in today’s society whether it is used for learning purposes or personal use. When ICT is engaged in student’s learning it can improve student’s engagement and assist in improving their understanding and learning the mathematical concept (Attard, 2017). Children are becoming more motivated and engaged in using ICT, as it allows for collaborative and engaging learning for students and teachers (Ralston, 2004).

Matific is designed to provide optimal support to convey mathematical concepts in a way students and educators can connect via a screen and educators can track the student’s progress (Matific, 2020). Matific is a highly beneficial tool to provide educators with a learning tool that aligns with the current curriculum to use in the classroom if there is no work left to complete, this will allow students to learn effectively in the classroom or outside of the classroom. The website caters for all year levels and provides different activities for students to browse through and familiarise themselves with different mathematical formulas and techniques. This is highly beneficial for students to work collaboratively digitally to encourage and learn from each other. Students often suffer from stress and anxiety from classroom work, to reduce the stress and anxiety Matific has created fun activities such as games for students to play.
