This paper is on android mobile application for slow learner children with tactile learning style. The purpose of this report is to record all the data gathered throughout author’s study and research for this project. This project is a mobile application based project and the targeted users are slow learners in Year 2 that uses the official Malaysian Ministry of Education mathematics syllabus. The objective of this mobile application are to study how android mobile application can be used to enhance slow learner children with tactile learning style learning process and to implement and develop android mobile application that can be used by slow learner children with tactile learning style. Slow learners cannot focus for a long time and process information slower than average kids. Based on research and observation, each slow learner children have different learning style and knowing the correct children learning style can help them to excel better and absorb knowledge faster. Hence, this project will help children’s learning process for difficult subject to be easier, more effective and enjoyable. The scope of this study is to focus on the content of syllabus to mathematics syllabus for slow learners in Year 2. Students can use this application to know numbers and learn mathematical addition and subtraction operation and at the same time fulfil the needs of tactile learners by providing few methods in order to make it comprehensive for them to process information better. Project will be developed based on System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) of Rapid Application Development model. Each phases will be perform concurrently and on each cycle resulting in a system prototype that will be reviewed by the students and teachers of SK Seri Tronoh in order to measure the effectiveness of the prototype model. The experimental result of the android application is takes as the reference summaries of the evaluation. The evaluation of experimental results shows satisfactory result where out of 6 children tested, 5 children shown a good respond to the mobile application.
