A fruit seller divides 24 oranges equally between 6 bags. What fraction of the total is in each bag?
Built for South African classrooms

What Liyana does
Teachers provide the curriculum content and classroom context. Liyana helps turn it into learning materials that are relevant, structured and ready to use.
Activities grounded in familiar, locally relevant examples.
Clear, engaging introductions designed for the classroom.
End-of-term checks that help teachers understand learning progress.
Our learning approach
Context is not decoration. It is the bridge between what a learner already understands and the new concept in front of them.
Examples connect curriculum concepts to the places, language and everyday experiences learners already know.
Questions use Bloom’s and Barrett’s taxonomies, moving learners from recall towards deeper thinking.
Built-in learner reflection and pilot measurement help schools see what is working and where support is needed.
January 2027 pilot
Liyana’s three-school pilot will test classroom usefulness, learner engagement and the practical experience for teachers. The evidence will guide what we build next.

Liyana began with a simple observation: learners understand more when new ideas connect to the world they already know.
We are a South African team bringing together product, education research, technology, operations, sales, compliance and monitoring and evaluation—working towards better classroom engagement and stronger learning outcomes.
