Introduction: Teaching modalities from the pandemic migrate to the digital environment, being an indispensable tool for learning. Objective: The present study aims to develop the prototyping of a mobile application focused on improving learning in the area of mathematics, using the Design Sprint methodology to determine the characteristics of usability and acceptance by students in the fifth year of the Santo Tomás Apostol de Riobamba Educational Unit (UESTAR). Methodology: The research approach is mixed qualitative-quantitative, from the interviews conducted with the teachers of the institution allowed to identify the difficulties of the teaching-learning process related to basic arithmetic operations, the surveys applied to students who used the prototype could be evaluated according to the criteria the level of acceptance and usability of the interface. Result: In the prototyping process incurs 5 stages according to the Design Sprint methodology understanding, sketch, decision, prototype and validation that contributes to the design of a tangible product of high fidelity ready for evaluation and determine if it meets the parameters of the UX / UI design. Conclusion: It was concluded that the prototype meets the acceptance of students and teachers based on intuitive navigation, consistency and simplicity, recommending that it be applied as a didactic resource for learning in the area of mathematics.
