Our Review :- Braingenie makes it easy to search and find specific skills that you need in order to become a Math/Science superstar. It is a most comprehensive repository of Math and Science practice materials. With a range of diverse practice problems and video lessons it assures sound learning.
Two of Braingenie’s features are particularly noteworthy. One, being its approach of Adaptive Learning, by which the instructions adapt themselves to a student’s learning needs as indicated by their responses to the questions asked. This allows students to learn at their own pace and makes the learning experience more substantial, effective and personalized. Another is the incorporation of motivating reward elements (badges/awards) and multiplayer competitions which keep high the students’ spirits to progress and succeed.
I recommend it to students who want to work on their Math and Science skills. At Braingenie, they will discover the most credible and effective resources and will be able to assess themselves constantly with practice questions. Teachers will find it equally useful, as here they get to organize their classes, are provided with extensive material on Math and Science, can set and accomplish goals and track student performance with progress reports.
