Automating Math Content Creation with Custom Educational Software Development

Summary

A Singapore-based EdTech startup envisioned a flexible worksheet creation tool for school math, Vedic maths for kids, and abacus training, free from manual content creation. They partnered with Mechsoft to bring this idea to life. The result? A dynamic, &v-highlight;algorithm-driven platform&:v-highlight; that allowed educators to define a question pattern once and auto-generate millions of unique math questions, all localized for cultural relevance.

The engagement went further. We also solved a seemingly small but critical problem: simplifying &v-highlight;multilingual content translation&:v-highlight; across rich, &v-highlight;structured educational data.&:v-highlight; This project is a standout success in the field of custom educational software development, offering &v-highlight;scalable innovation for modern EdTech companies.&:v-highlight;

Overview

&link-https://www.math2shine.com/;Math2Shine&:link-https://www.math2shine.com/; delivers digital tools for students and educators in the math learning space, combining traditional techniques such as abacus and Vedic maths for kids with modern technology. Their core goal: make math engaging, scalable, and personalized through automation and cultural adaptation.

Business challenge

1. Manual Content Creation Bottleneck

Educators traditionally had to &v-highlight;design worksheets manually&:v-highlight; that limits scalability, consistency, and localization. The client wanted a smart engine where educators could &v-highlight;define a question pattern&:v-highlight; once and the system would automatically generate unlimited variations of questions.

2. Complex Localization Requirements

To serve global learners, content needed to be localized not only linguistically but culturally—names, currencies, and objects in questions had to change based on the student’s region.

3. Structured Content Translation

&v-highlight;Their rich question format included: &:v-highlight;

• Math symbols and formulas
• Graphics and illustrations
• &v-highlight;Tagged content blocks. &:v-highlight; Standard translation tools mangled the structure, making &v-highlight;multilingual rollout almost impossible &:v-highlight; without a large team of manual translators.

These challenges demanded a custom EdTech software solution that was flexible, intelligent, and efficient at scale.

Solution approach

1. Intelligent Worksheet Generation Engine

Mechsoft designed a robust question designer that:

• Allowed users to input a pattern once
• Used &link-https://ai.google/learn-ai-skills/;algorithmic generation&:link-https://ai.google/learn-ai-skills/; to create millions of unique math questions
• Supported Vedic maths, abacus, and standard school math
• &v-highlight;Integrated with localized data &:v-highlight; for names, currencies, and cultural references

This drastically reduced educator effort and enabled scalable customization for different grade levels and regions.

2. Cultural & Regional Localization

Our team built a localization module that:

• Swapped out people’s names, places, and &v-highlight;objects based on country &:v-highlight;
• Maintained &v-highlight;pedagogical relevance &:v-highlight; while enhancing student relatability

This ensured that the same math pattern would feel 'local' to a child in India, Singapore, or the UAE.

3. Structured Multilingual Translation Framework

Translating large content sets filled with graphics, symbols, and code markers is a nightmare for most EdTech companies. Our solution:

• &v-highlight; Parsed and deconstructed content blocks intelligently &:v-highlight;
• Translated each line using an API
• Re-inserted structured elements (graphics, symbols, tags) post-translation
• Included a &v-highlight;human-in-the-loop &:v-highlight; quality check step

This saved hundreds of man-months of work and ensured consistent quality across multiple languages.

Key features delivered

• &v-highlight;Pattern-driven engine &:v-highlight; for auto-generating millions of math questions
• Support for Vedic maths for kids, abacus, and curriculum-aligned worksheets
• Regional content localization using cultural data points
• Advanced multilingual translation engine with structure preservation
• Custom-built for scale, speed, and &v-highlight;cross-platform compatibility &:v-highlight;
• Cloud-based back-end with teacher/admin dashboards
