You may know Duolingo for its language-learning app, but the company is looking to expand beyond that. According to TechCrunch, Duolingo is working on a new app that will help kids learn math. The company's CEO, Luis von Ahn, mentioned it in a recent interview, saying we will learn more about it later this month during Duocon, its annual conference.

Hints about this new app were seen around May when Duolingo posted a new job opening for a learning scientist with a Ph.D. in mathematics. According to the job description, the employee will work with a "small cross-functional team" to develop a new app, which will likely be focused on younger students between the 3rd and 8th grades. The company wanted candidates who know about teaching K-12 level math.
