Mathematics is a compulsory subject introduced during preschool students. All students will be required to take this subject during their primary and secondary education as it is a basic, fundamental skill needed in the society which will also help students to continue their tertiary education and to qualify the needs in their career path in the near future. Mathematics is one of the subjects that the majority finds it difficult due to the stress and the heavy study load they are taking concurrently with multiple subjects. It also requires students to have a firm foundation in order to learn new methodologies. Hence, with the advanced technologies, we have in this era online learning is one of the hottest trends with the highest demands in the educational industry. Many software systems have been invented and developed to make online learning more efficiently. However, there has not been a software system that is available to teachers, lecturers and, professors to visualize the topic trends for the examination. In conclusion, this project aims to develop a web-based application focusing on the GCE Ordinary Level Elementary Mathematics due to the complexity of this subject. With this application, educators and students will be able to enhance their teaching and learning methods more effectively and efficiently as it helps them retrieve concepts, questions, formulae and visualizing the trends of the questions and topics over the years. As such, less time can be spent on researching for paper-based materials and more time can be spent on the subject.
