What educational apps can a teacher expect to find in the Speechi Connect store? We have decided to regularly share the latest additions integrated into the store, starting this series with mathematics applications. Learn more about Speechi Connect.
Your Educational Apps on Your School’s Interactive Display
👉 As a reminder, each school can add any application to its Speechi Connect space, including those it has subscribed to.
The Speechi Connect store is primarily a service for teaching teams, helping them save time and discover educational applications and websites that exist beyond our own, but which teachers can confidently use in class on a Speechi interactive screen, as they have been tested and approved.
Mathematics applications in the store (↑)
There have been many initiatives by French teachers to incorporate digital technology into their teaching practices, particularly mathematics teachers, who have clearly seen the benefits of using educational applications in the classroom.
They have even developed these applications themselves, as we shall see.
Watch a video preview of the educational maths applications tested on our interactive digital display.
• Geogebra (↑)
Commençons par la plus célèbre d’entre elles : Geogebra. Créé par le professeur et universitaire autrichien, Markus Hohenwarter, Geogebra est un logiciel libre et gratuit. En abordant la géométrie, l’algèbre, les probabilités, les statistiques ou encore le calcul différentiel, cet outil est si complet qu’il s’adresse à tous les niveaux !
• Multimaths (↑)
Multimaths offers 25 free, ad-free, cross-platform applications. Created by Christophe Auclair, a middle school math teacher, these apps address specific educational goals and are largely funded by the DNRE of the Dijon Academy. Below are the 15 apps integrated into the Speechi Connect store. » Visit the Multimaths website.

Do Math Educational Apps Have a Role to Play? (↑)
According to the latest TIMSS study, which estimates the mathematical attainment of students in OECD countries, French schools remain stubbornly at the bottom of the class.
Mathematics: “Could Do Better…” (↑)
This is a remark the independent international school assessment organization (IEA) might put on France’s education report card. According to a Franceinfo article based on the latest TIMSS* school evaluation conducted in 2023:
“France remains one of the weakest performers in mathematics (…) [being] below the OECD country average.”Â
Although student performance has stopped its downward trend, France is still ranked last in the European Union for 4th graders and second-to-last for 8th graders./span>
*TIMSS stands for Trends in international mathematics and science study. For more details, refer to this page from the French Ministry of Education’s website.Â
Information from the article The Level of French Students in Math and Science Remains Below the OECD Average but Stops Declining, published on December 4, 2024, on Ici French media.
Could educational applications help to raise the bar?
- Perhaps they can! At least that’s what the many individual and institutional initiatives suggest.
- Play, repetition and regular practice are factors that encourage learning, understanding and the anchoring of knowledge. As it happens, educational applications make it possible to use these 3 factors.
- So, even if the use of educational applications in the classroom is not the miracle solution that will reverse the trend on its own, it can contribute in its own way to getting pupils back into mathematics in the long term.
