Four Ferries Oy
We offer efficient digital tools for learning and teaching mathematics and other STEM subjects. The platform can be used by teachers, students, tutors, education authorities, and all other parties interested in new computer-based approaches to teaching.
4ferries is founded by STEM teachers, with the mission to improve math education. We provide you with tools for learning and teaching mathematics effectively.
We believe strongly that students need to understand the rules they use in mathematics. In the future more and more of the calculations will be automated, but the need for understanding the rules behind it will never disappear.
Also, we know that math is interesting and engaging, as long as we understand it. What we see in schools today is a broken feedback loop, which is preventing students from understanding what they are doing, and as a result, losing interest in Math.
That is why we have designed tools to fix that broken feedback loop and keep that love for math that all first graders have going, all through life.
For distance learning we have created a solution called eMath Studio. Calculate math, get immediate feedback and share work from home.
eMath Studio brings you digital math notebooks and an automatic checker that checks every step in the calculation.
eMath Studio brings you digital math notebooks and an automatic checker that checks every step in the calculation. The checker gives students, from middle school to university, immediate feedback on their own solutions, and teachers a way to grade assignments or tests in seconds.
We also offer teacher education, where teachers can refresh their memory on the logic behind specific math theory and learn an effective method to structure math problems.
