Eduten

Eduten is a digital math learning platform for schools. Its homepage describes it as "a digital math learning platform for grades K-12 and beyond" that "combines Finnish educational excellence with gamification and AI," and it is sold to "schools and other educational institutions anywhere in the world." Children practice math on it; teachers assign, track and differentiate the work; school leaders watch the numbers across the whole building; and parents receive progress reports from the teacher.

The company leans hard on its origins. The homepage headline reads "#1 Math Learning Platform. From Finland." and the site says Eduten was "Developed by one of Finland's top universities" and has "spread to over 50 countries worldwide," where it "is used by more than 1 million students." It was "Created by teachers, for teachers" and "is based on Finnish pedagogy and is adaptable to any curriculum worldwide." The stated ambition is large: "we envision our platform being used in every school around the world."

What students work on

The heart of the product is a large bank of practice. "Eduten's content library includes more than 200,000 gamified and varied tasks," the site says, and on top of that sits a "ready-made weekly program" that "includes hundreds of high-quality tasks for students to build and improve their math skills." A teacher who does not want to build a sequence from scratch can run the weekly program as it comes; one who does can pull from the library.

The tasks are built to keep children going, and the site says "Eduten creates positive and active learning experiences." The site describes "a carefully crafted learning environment" that uses "gamification, differentiation, easy goal setting and many other methods," with the result being "students who want to work more to improve their skills." Its practice-volume claim is specific: "Studies show that using Eduten, students solve up to 8 times more tasks compared to pen and paper." Under "Better Learning Results and Grades" the site adds that practicing with Eduten "helps students learn faster and they naturally want to pursue more work. It's easy and fun to use."

Eduten currently runs in seven languages: "English, Spanish, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Lithuanian and Ukrainian." That matters for an international school or a bilingual program, since students can practice the same math in the language they are taught in.

What teachers get

The teacher's side is where most of the selling points sit, and the site lists four benefits.

Less time on paperwork and assessments. "Eduten marks the work in real-time," which the site says means "more time for teachers to do what matters", teaching and being present with their students, and "Eduten's exercises are automatically assessed." The platform "also provides automated assessments (and marks them!) so teachers can assess students and use the results to help them immediately." The page frames the saving in classroom terms: "Instead of never-ending pop quizzes, teachers spend more time providing personal guidance and support to those students who need it most."

Easy tracking of goals, progress, strengths and weaknesses. "Eduten's learning analytics provide real-time insights into students' learning. Teachers can view the progress of the students individually or as a group." One feature stands out here: "Eduten's automatic misconception analysis enables teachers to focus on the students and topics that need their help most." The analysis is aimed at misconceptions, not only at scores.

Effortless differentiation. Teachers can adjust the exercises "across different ability levels", and "At the click of a button, teachers can provide a suitable challenge for every individual in their classroom." This is the feature that lets a mixed-ability class practice at different levels at the same time.

Better learning results and grades, which the site ties to motivation and practice volume.

The company sums up its aim for teachers as wanting "to support teachers to do what they do best", which it defines as helping their students learn. On fitting into a school, the site says that "Eduten is very easy to learn and it fits teachers' existing workflows," and that it "Works with any curriculum." The platform "offers insightful learning analytics, effortless differentiation, effective gamification, lesson planning support" and easy curriculum customization. The AI in the product shows up in the analytics, described as "AI-driven learning analytics" that "help teachers understand students better with less effort."

School leaders and parents

Eduten reaches beyond the single classroom. "School leaders have access to a school-wide statistics dashboard. It provides real-time data on the entire school that enables data-driven decision-making and teacher support."

For families, "Eduten includes a simple and powerful parent reporting tool that makes it easy for teachers to share student progress and achievements with their parents and guardians." The reports go from teacher to parent, consistent with a product bought by schools rather than by households.

The research claims

Research is the second pillar of the pitch. The site says "Eduten is based on more than 15 years of university research on digital teaching and learning" and that students gain learning improvements rapidly, which it says dozens of studies around the world have shown. It quotes three results:

• "39% improvement vs. control group to mathematics performance"
• "45% improvement vs. control group to mathematics fluency"
• "20% improvement to mathematics fluency in just 6 weeks"

The headline version is "Up to 45% more improvement to learning results. Proven by 15 years of university research." These are the company's own figures, presented against control groups, and a school reading them should treat them as Eduten's summary of its research.

Getting started

New users start from a "Try for Free" button on the homepage, and existing users log in through a separate login site. The homepage publishes no prices, which fits a product licensed to schools and institutions.

Who it suits

Eduten suits schools that want a math practice platform with serious analytics: teachers who are tired of marking, who want to see misconceptions rather than just scores, and who need to differentiate across a mixed-ability class without building separate worksheets. It suits school leaders who want one dashboard across classes, and international or multilingual schools, given the seven interface languages and the claim that it adapts to any curriculum. Schools drawn to Finnish teaching methods will find that link made explicit.

It is a math-only platform, and it is aimed at institutions. A parent looking for a home math app to buy on their own is not the audience the site describes; the parent's role here is receiving the teacher's progress reports.
