The handsets feedback to students if they got the answer right or wrong, and what to do next time to get the answer right.
Jon Chambers from the Friends of Myton School formally presented the handsets to Head of Maths, Adam Ealden.
The first group to try out the handsets was a class of 11 and 12-year-old mathematicians.
