SmartCue

SmartCue combines pool and snooker billiards with mathematics/arithmetic for young students.

SmartCue combines pool and snooker billiards with mathematics/arithmetic for young students (9 to 15 years).

SmartCue's goal is to make beta courses more attractive through the combination with pool and snooker. For schools, a curriculum is developed in which the elements of pool and snooker have been translated into mathematical issues (for example, calculating with billiard balls (number concept and basic arithmetic), hitting the right point (geometry) or finding the correct angle (geometry with angles), for example by visualizing pool and snooker situations. The reason for this is that children often don’t think math is ‚cool‘. By introducing SmartCue, the pupils not only improve their skills in the field of mathematics and numeracy , but also to improve their precision and concentration skills. With SmartCue, students can further develop all these skills in an accessible and fun way. SmartCue was started by two fomer athletes (top ten pool players): Erik van Haren and Willem La Riviere.
