Learning apps made in Ghana

For children from about two, older pupils, grown-ups and teachers. They all work on a phone, and they all keep working when there is no internet.

On an iPhone? Put the app on your home screen before you start: open it in Safari, tap Share (the square with an arrow), then Add to Home Screen. Always open it from that icon — an iPhone keeps a separate copy for each way the app is opened, so opening it from a link in WhatsApp starts afresh.

🔢 Numbers

Four apps that follow one another, from knowing what numbers are to times tables — and one for colours and simple fractions that can be used alongside them.

First

Wake NumAp

Knowing numbers. For a child who is still getting to know what numbers are, before any adding begins.

  • Counting things
  • Reading and writing numerals
  • Number words up to 100
  • Counting on, taking away, what comes next
Open Wake NumAp Read the guide for grown-ups
Second

Wake Easy.Sums.Ap

Easy Sums. For a child who is ready to add, once numbers themselves are familiar.

  • Ten sums a round, marked straight away
  • Beads in a ten-frame for every answer
  • Progress charts and speed
  • A printable report for the parent or teacher
Open Wake Easy.Sums.Ap Read the guide for grown-ups
Third

Wake Quick.Sums.Ap

Quick sums. For a child who adds below ten without thinking, and is ready for answers that pass ten.

  • 7 + 8, 9 + 4, 6 + 6 — all 45 of them
  • Two ten-frames, so ten is always visible
  • The Sixty: sixty quick sums in one game
  • Progress charts and a printable report
Open Wake Quick.Sums.Ap Read the guide for grown-ups
Fourth

Wake Quick.Prod.Ap

Times tables. Every product to 12 × 12, drilled until the answer arrives without counting.

  • One table at a time, until it sticks
  • Every answer shown as rows of dots
  • The Sixty: five from every table, three games cover all 144
  • 7 × ? = 56 — division before it is called that
Open Wake Quick.Prod.Ap Read the guide for grown-ups
Any time from two

Wake Color.Num.Ap

Colours, then fractions. The basic colours from age two, and what "three out of six" means once those are known.

  • Eight colours, starting with four
  • Groups of things identical but for colour
  • Sharing fairly — where fractions come from
  • Halves and quarters, said before they are written

📖 Reading and writing

First letter sounds for a small child, a page to write on by hand for older pupils, close reading and composition in English from ten upwards, and the key words of the BECE and SHS subjects.

English · any time from two

Wake Eng.Read.Write.Ap

First reading and writing. Letter sounds, everyday words with their pictures, and a finger learning to make the letters.

  • Sounds first — mmm, not "em" — then whole words
  • Around 285 words a small child already hears at home, and the numbers zero to twenty
  • Say it, find it, read it, rhyme it, spell it — and put a muddled spelling right
  • Trace with me: follow a moving dot with a finger and write
  • Nothing listens to your child — there is no microphone in it
Open Wake Eng.Read.Write.Ap Read the guide for grown-ups
Handwriting · ages 7 to 14 · free at the moment

Wake Write.Draw.Ap

Write it out, in your own hand. Choose the paper and its lines, write on it with a finger or a stylus, put it right, and print it.

  • Five page sizes and six kinds of ruling, including squares
  • A finger works — a stylus is a nicety, not a requirement
  • Rub out, pick up and move, undo — it is paper you can change your mind on
  • Type it up: the pupil types their own piece and picks the font
  • No marks and no marking. It never judges the writing
  • Free while it is new — nothing to pay and no card
Open Wake Write.Draw.Ap Read the guide for grown-ups
English · ages 10 and over

Wake Comprehension.Essay.Ap

Read well, then write well — with no teacher beside you. Model essays to read and be questioned on, drills marked as you go, and eight steps from a bare topic to a finished composition.

  • Three model essays for every topic, each set in a different country
  • Comprehension, vocabulary, spelling and grammar drills, with the reason after every answer
  • Figures of speech, pronunciation, idioms and proverbs, and how to set out letters and speeches
  • Eight steps: topic, words, plan, punctuation, write it, send it, get it marked, record the mark
  • It never marks the essay itself — a person does, and the app says so
  • Seven days free to try, no card needed
Open Wake Comprehension.Essay.Ap Read the guide for grown-ups
Key words · ages 8 and over

Wake Search.List.Ap

Know the words, follow the lesson. The key words of every BECE subject, seventeen Ghana SHS subjects, eighteen Cambridge IGCSE courses, thirteen Cambridge AS & A Level subjects, fifteen IB Diploma subjects, seventeen AP subjects, and the Maths, English and Science of Cambridge Primary and Lower Secondary and the IB PYP and MYP, and fifteen University first-year courses, ten at a time, with their meanings as the lessons use them.

  • 23,397 key words: all eight BECE subjects; SHS Maths, the sciences, ICT, Business, Economics, Accounting and the humanities; IGCSE, A Level, IB and AP from Physics to Literature; Checkpoint, PYP and MYP Maths, English and Science; University Calculus to Engineering
  • Hear each word, normally or slowly, with its syllables and the strong one marked
  • Its meaning in the subject, a sentence from the lesson, and what it means at home
  • Meaning and spelling drills, with the reason after every answer
  • Find a word by its meaning, and gather the hard ones into your own list
  • Seven days free to try, no card needed
