Low learning outcomes in mathematics persist across Peruvian primary schools, particularly in rural regions. Teachers often lack access to quality resources and support for active, engaging instruction. Apprendemos seeks to address these gaps by offering structured and motivating digital tools aligned with national curriculum standards.
Apprendemos is a digital learning program aimed at strengthening math skills in Grades 3–6 of public primary schools in Perú. It includes a mobile application for students —with interactive activities and gamified progress tracking— that works with minimal internet connectivity. Teachers access a web portal with over 200 weekly activities, printable worksheets, digital classroom reports, and video tutorials to guide their planning. The program can be used in-person in schools, in blended contexts, or during at-home reinforcement. It is aligned with the national curriculum and has been integrated into hundreds of schools in coordination with regional education authorities.
Apprendemos has been implemented nationally since 2020 through strong cooperation agreements with regional and local education offices, including direct collaboration with educational authorities and schools. In 2024, over 140,000 students and 10,000 teachers connected to the platform, demonstrating widespread adoption and growing trust in the program.
Regional workshops conducted in rural and urban hubs reinforced capacity building and offline-enabled content ensured uninterrupted access in low-connectivity areas, while continuous monitoring of platform metrics guides our regional authorities in recognizing usage trends and prioritizing support where it is most needed.
In response to feedback, our app has been continually improved to offer more interactive and engaging activities. This year, coinciding with the start of the school calendar, we released a completely renewed app featuring a redesigned library of interactive activities and enhanced analytics tools for teachers— changes driven directly by educator and student input.
Looking ahead, we will broaden our curriculum to incorporate literacy modules in both Spanish and Quechua, co-designed with bilingual intercultural education experts to meet the needs of diverse linguistic communities.
We will also enhance our impact evaluation processes, especially in rural areas, where access to educational resources can be more limited. By gathering detailed data on student performance, usage patterns, and teacher feedback, we plan to refine the program’s content and delivery, ensuring that it effectively meets the diverse needs of learners across different contexts.
Apprendemos is freely accessible via www.apprendemos.com, where educators and institutions can register to obtain credentials for both the student app and the teacher portal. Comprehensive implementation guides, video tutorials and support materials are available online.
