RocketMath: EdTech
Platform for Mastering Math
Web App
UX/UI Design

Web Dashboard
Dr. Don Crawford had been an educator for 40 years before starting RocketMath — a mobile app turning students into math fans. Don wanted to bring over the captivating mobile experience of learning math to the web.
How we helped:
2x the number of students within 1 year
over 11,000 teachers tracking students’
progress
320,000+ students reached in a single year
Type: Prototype, Development, Ongoing
Porting Mobile Experiences to Web
RocketMath is a math learning game for young children. Everything but the gameplay, graphics, and flow were changed when ported to the web.
Web engine optimized for top performance
Sync between mobile and web
Use of a hardware keyboard for accessibility
Engaging animations & voice feedback
We used the iPad visuals to make the game as clear and crisp as possible, and fine-tuned animations for near-instant loading.
From App to Learning Platform
The next step was to turn the game into an EdTech platform. Topflight built a dashboard for schools and individuals to manage subscriptions and track students’ progress.
monthly/yearly subscriptions
student stats
daily progress reports
user roles: parents/teachers/school admins
RocketMath admins have full control over subscriptions and users, and can review student performance or account information. To accept payments we integrated with Stripe.
The platform also works with such digital learning
platforms as Clever and soon ClassLink.
Tech stack
TypeScript
Webpack
Laravel
Agile Engagement
Turning a game into a scalable EdTech platform is a massive effort with lots of moving parts. Agile helps us coordinate design, development, and QA tasks at once, resulting in:
transparent development process
cohesive product strategy
quicker releases
To streamline the pipeline from app development to customers, we set up a DevOps environment, which helps us continuously push new features with updates.
Captivating
EdTech in Action
The port of the game came out extremely well: the gameplay is exciting and engaging. Customers love the clean UI and stutter-free performance of the game.
In addition, schools have received a powerful tool that engages students in studying math without stress and accurately tracks their progress.
We keep working on updates, such as compliance and student data protection, to cement RocketMath’s status of an enterprise-ready educational platform.
