How to make an app for an abacus class

In an abacus class, every child in a batch can be on a different level and page. An app keeps each child's level, the timed practice scores (sums done and how many right), level test dates and fees per level, so you know who is ready to move up and whose fee is due when the next level starts.

Who uses the app

Usually just the teacher. If a second teacher takes some batches, or parents should see their child's level and practice scores, connect your own Supabase database so everyone sees the same records.

The screens an abacus class app needs

Batches: Each batch's days and time, with the students and their current level
Students: Search by name; age, level, book and page, parent's phone, fee status
Practice scores: Timed practice sheets: sums attempted, sums right and time taken, with a chart per child
Level tests: Children due for a level test, test dates and marks, and who has moved up
Fees: Fee per level and kit fee, paid and due, with a receipt as a PDF
Attendance: Tick present for the batch; children who missed two classes in a row

Features worth asking for

A 'ready for level test' list from months in level and recent practice scores
Sums per minute and accuracy worked out from each practice sheet
Fee due shown when a child moves up a level
A level completion letter as a PDF to print and give at the class
WhatsApp button to send a parent the test result or fee reminder, ready to send
Children of different levels in one batch, each with their own book and page

Where the data lives

If only you use the app, the data stays on your phone and works without internet. If another teacher shares the batches or parents sign in to see progress, connect your own Supabase database from the chat; for fees online, connect your Razorpay account too.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide what the app does. List the screens you need, for example: Batches, Students, Practice scores, Level tests, Fees.
Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, changed to your own business and details.
Check the plan. AppCub shows the screens and features it will build. Change them in the chat until they are right; seeing the plan is free.
Try it on your phone. The app runs live next to the chat. Scan the QR code to install it, and ask for changes.
Share it. Share it as a web link, an APK file, or publish it on Google Play from your own developer account.

Copy this request, change the details to match your abacus class, and paste it into AppCub:

Make an app for my abacus class, Sankhya Abacus Class in Coimbatore. Screens: batches, students, practice scores, level tests, fees and attendance. Eight levels of 3 months each. Each student has age, batch, level, book page, parent's name and phone. Practice scores: sums attempted, sums right and minutes taken; show sums per minute and accuracy, with a chart. Show children who have done 3 months in a level as ready for the level test. Fee ₹3,000 per level due when a level starts, kit ₹1,200. WhatsApp button for results and fee reminders. Level completion letter as PDF. Orange and white colours.

Tips for an abacus class app

Use the same practice sheet format every week (for example 50 sums with a 5-minute limit) so the charts compare like with like.
Enter scores right after the class; it takes a minute per child and keeps the chart honest.
Make the level completion letter plain, with your class name and the level; don't copy any franchise's certificate design.
Start with students, fees and attendance; add practice charts once the class routine is set.
Start from AppCub's ready-made coaching app if it is close, then ask for levels and practice scores in the chat.

Good to know

AppCub doesn't make an abacus game for children or run timed online tests, and nothing is sent by itself. You type each practice score, and results reach parents when you tap the WhatsApp button.
AppCub builds Android apps. You can also share the app as a web link that opens on any phone; for the iPhone App Store, AppCub’s team can do it for you.

Questions

Can the app track speed and accuracy in abacus practice?

Yes. Enter sums attempted, sums right and time, and the app shows sums per minute, accuracy and a chart for each child.

Can it tell me which children are ready for a level test?

Yes. Ask for a list based on months in the level and recent scores; you decide who sits the test.

Can the fee be per level instead of per month?

Yes. Tell AppCub your rule and the fee becomes due when a child starts a new level.

Can I give a certificate when a child finishes a level?

Yes, the app can make a level completion letter as a PDF with your class name, to print or share.

Can children practise abacus sums in the app?

The app is for running your class, not a practice game. Children practise on the abacus and sheets; you record the scores.

Can parents see their child's progress chart?

Yes, with an online database and sign-in. Each parent sees only their own child's level and scores.
