Potential Limitations of this Product
- Students in an Indian context, especially from backgrounds where they may not be exposed to English in their day-to-day lives, might find it difficult to relate the accent and tone of the videos.
- The lack of sufficient real-life context and scenarios might deprive learners of the logical connections of mathematics to their everyday lives if they use this product as their only learning platform.
- The lack of opportunity for experimentation, interactive activities, or mathematical tools for problem-solving makes the product less effective in helping learners make meaning of the content and explore various possibilities independently. This might lead to a good fluency in procedural mathematical skills while missing out on deeper connections and conceptual understanding.
