# IqraaNow

> Bilingual ed-tech platform (French · Arabic) for Moroccan schools and ambitious learners worldwide. Three paths in one space: National 🇲🇦, International 🌍 (Cambridge IGCSE), and Olympiades 🏆. Built around the **Math Sam pedagogy** — the student thinks, doesn't consume.

IqraaNow is a multi-tenant educational platform launched in Morocco. Each partner school is a private tenant. Currently serving:
- **Compétence Scientifique** (Casablanca, Morocco) — middle school (1AC · 2AC · 3APIC)
- **École Le Mûrier** (Ifrane, Morocco) — primary school (CP · CE1 · CE2 · CM1 · CM2 · 6AEP)

## The Math Sam pedagogy — the core differentiator

Named after Samir Kerfal — Younes's father, the parent whose first question after school isn't "what did you learn?" but "what did you struggle with today?". Math Sam encodes that question into every screen.

The platform refuses to give an answer until the student produces thought first:

- **Productive-struggle gate** — Every olympiad problem requires a 30+ character written attempt before the Solution button unlocks. Hint button is locked for 30 seconds. Polya's discipline: *"the worst thing is to read the solution before trying."*
- **Written justification gate** — Every 5th test question (Q5, Q10, Q15, Q20) demands 20+ characters of written reasoning before the explanation reveals. Feynman technique: *"if you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it."*
- **Shuffle on retry** — Questions and options are reshuffled on every retry. Breaks rote memorization. Forces re-reasoning.
- **Compare-to-Morocco nudge** — Every international method card prompts "and in Morocco?" Forces transfer between approaches.
- **Activity feed** — Every meaningful action is logged and surfaced to the parent and teacher. Two-sided accountability.

## Six pedagogical methods baked in

1. **Polya & Lockhart** — Productive-struggle gate on every olympiad
2. **Singapore CPA** (Concrete → Pictorial → Abstract) — Manipulative widgets + Singapore method card on every lesson
3. **Japan Hatsumon** — One rich question, multiple solutions, discussion. Teacher doesn't give the answer.
4. **Khan formative** — Per-question explanations on every option (not just the correct one)
5. **Sweller cognitive load** — Worked → Partial → Blank practice progression
6. **Ebbinghaus spaced repetition** — "Mémoire active" 3-question warmup on the National view of every lesson
7. **Feynman technique** — Written justification gate on every 5th test question

## The 5-view lesson structure (applied to all 32 leçons of Génie des Maths 6AEP)

1. **Pourquoi & vie réelle** — Sense first. No formula yet.
2. **Programme National 🇲🇦** — What the Moroccan teacher would teach. Compact, self-teaching.
3. **International 🌍** — Same idea, four cultures (Singapore CPA · Japan Hatsumon · Finland phenomenon-based · Cambridge mastery). Plus the International tier MCQ test.
4. **Niveau Génie 🏆** — Olympiad problems with productive-struggle gates.
5. **Synthèse ★** — Extracted blackboard rules / examples / tips / mistakes + radial mindmap.

## Curriculum coverage

- **Génie des Maths 6AEP** (Sochepress éditions, official Moroccan textbook) — 32/32 leçons covered, every chapter has mindmap, exercises, mock exam
- **Cambridge IGCSE 0580** — Extended tier, A* target
- **Cambridge Primary Stage 6** — Aligned
- **International Olympiads** — Math Kangaroo · ASMO · AoPS · IMO preparation tracks

## Personas (canonical names referenced across docs)

- **Younes Kerfal** — student (élève)
- **Samir Kerfal** — parent (papa, receives activity feed)
- **M. Khadar** — teacher (professeur, receives activity feed)

## Tier tests per lesson

Every lesson ships with 3 MCQ tier tests, 20 questions each, every option explained:
- **National 🇲🇦** — 80% pass · max 150 pts
- **International 🌍** — 70% pass · max 260 pts
- **Génie 🏆** — 60% pass · max 440 pts

Email simulation sends the score to M. Khadar (teacher) and Samir Kerfal (parent) after each test.

## Languages

Bilingual by design — never translated as an afterthought. Both number systems (Western 1-9 + Eastern Arabic ٠-٩), native RTL, professor and parent each receive notifications in their own language.
