Math Should Be a Game – And How Matiks Is Making That Happen
“If a child can do advanced combos in a video game, they can also do mental math – they just need the right motivation.”
The Problem: Why So Many Fear Mental Math
We’ve all seen it—students freezing when asked to do simple arithmetic in their heads. Mental math has become a scary phrase. But it wasn’t always like this. In fact, kids naturally enjoy solving problems—until they associate math with stress, speed tests, and red marks.
The Shift: Gamifying to Rewire the Brain
This is where Matiks comes in.
At Matiks, we asked a simple question: What if mental math was as fun as playing a game?
By blending game mechanics—like streaks, power-ups, challenges, and friendly competition—with core arithmetic skills, we’re not just making math enjoyable again; we’re helping kids and adults build cognitive reflexes that stick.
What Makes Matiks Different?
Here’s what sets us apart:
- Cognitive-first design: Each challenge is calibrated to improve reaction time, number sense, and memory—not just rote speed.
- Game mechanics that motivate: Leaderboards, streaks and unlockables keep learners coming back—not because they have to, but because they want to.
- Progress you can see: Weekly reports show improvement in accuracy and response time, giving learners a tangible sense of growth.
- Built for all ages: Whether you're a student preparing for an entrance exam, a parent brushing up skills, or a teacher looking for engagement tools—Matiks has you covered.
Our Mission: Rebuilding the Relationship with Math
Matiks is not just an app. It’s a movement.
We’re on a mission to rewire how people feel about math—from dread to delight. By making math emotionally rewarding and socially competitive, we’re showing that fluency in numbers isn’t just possible—it’s fun.
