Even after preparing candidates for examinations, learners still lose marks for several reasons, among them: &#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Basic operations \u2013 Learners make errors in application of basic operations such as forgetting brackets and adding poorly leading to wrong results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Forgetting procedures &#8211; another common error is forgetting procedures such how to add fractions with different denominators by adding numerators alone and denominators alone without using the lowest common multiple.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Forgetting or mixing up key concepts and formula \u2013 many learners are unable fluently use formula and concepts where needed. For example formula for area of a right angled triangle, or area for a circle. When a learner is unable to trivially apply such knowledge, then the learner cannot proceed to correctly answer the question.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Trivial mode focuses on the last reason for loss of marks in math. Trivial quiz mode is designed to make such facts and formulae trivial and none-confusing to the learner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike the standard mode that aims to provide variety and confidence, trivial mode targets accurate recall and use of formula and mathematics relations. Trivial mode brings together the form of reflection that seeks to eliminate ambiguity, confusion or misunderstanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trivial mode focuses on simple inquiries of fact to guarantee more concrete understanding of the matter at hand.&nbsp; Use trivial quiz mode to remove ambiguity from math facts and formula, promote accuracy and create a smoother path to new math concepts. Trivial mode builds fluency in application of concepts, terminologies and relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Boldungu is available as web app <a href=\"https:\/\/boldungu.com\">here<\/a> and mobile app <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.boldungu.boldlet&amp;hl=en&amp;gl=US\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_pop\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/button100x23.png\" style=\"border:0px; width:100; height: 23; \" alt=\"Share Button\" \/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Linkedin\",\"StumbleUpon\",\"Reddit\",\"Print\");var hupso_icon_type = \"labels\";var hupso_background=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url=\"\";var hupso_title=\"Turn%20math%20concepts%20and%20formula%20into%20trivial%20knowledge%20for%20children%20and%20improve%20math%20proficiency\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most people that comfortable with math do not realize how much practice they have invested in it.
