Teaching basic math can be challenging in children with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder. In response to this problem, the INTERMATSI seedbeds of the ECBTI school and the PHYLOS seedbed of the ECSAH school, propose to develop an innovative mobile application, which serves as a motivating tool for children in the world of mathematics. This research has as its main objective to address the learning difficulties associated with ADHD and provide a learning environment adapted to the needs of these children. The mobile app will be based on sound pedagogical principles and strategies specific to ADHD. It will focus on interactivity and gamification to motivate children in front of basic mathematics. In addition, attention strategies will be implemented, such as clear and brief instructions, division of tasks into smaller steps, and exercises that promote repetitive practice and sustained attention. To evaluate the effectiveness of the application, a pilot study will be conducted, objective and subjective measures will be used, such as standardized math tests and satisfaction questionnaires. The results obtained will determine the impact of the application on academic performance, sustained attention and perception of children's mathematical learning.
