For children to develop strong math skills, we need strategies that foster reasoning and problem-solving in real-world contexts..

By approaching mathematics through meaningful situations, we promote deep understanding and motivation to learn, enabling children to build practical skills and critical thinking.

It is a program that strengthens math skills in primary school children through problem-solving.

It uses evidence-based methods from Prest-Math Canada and provides teacher training, integrating into the classroom with the support of visual tools and practical exercises that enhance mental calculation, visible thinking, and metacognitive strategies.

Educational resources that support student learning through play.
Access to videos designed to help teachers plan their lessons.

Rigorous and Personalized Monitoring and Evaluation System

We conduct annual baseline and endline assessments (EGMA) to measure the development of foundational numeracy and math skills in students.
We implement midline assessments to track student progress throughout the year, enabling timely identification of support needs and informed pedagogical decision-making.
We provide principals and teachers with data analysis and reporting to support effective school management.

Goals we contribute to

4.1

Ensure that all girls and boys complete free, equitable and quality primary and secondary educationleading to relevant and effective learning outcomes by 2030.
