PILOT PHASE RESULTS
Between January and April 2026, Mathematics for Change was implemented in schools across different regions of the world, generating measurable learning impact data and student feedback.
Results suggest measurable learning gains after only two lessons.
Based on 313 matched student pre- and post-assessments using unique student codes.
Average score increased from 52% to 71%
(+19 percentage points).

TEACHER FEEDBACK
TEACHER VOICES
"It was a great experience for the students, and they really enjoyed applying mathematics to real-life scenarios. The connection with the SDGs was very well received, and I believe it is something we can build on in the future."
Mathematics Teacher – United Arab Emirates
"Students were instantly able to relate their knowledge to real-life scenarios."
Mathematics Teacher – India
"This project sparks curiosity, enhances problem solving, design thinking and critical thinking in Mathematics."
Mathematics Teacher – Kenya
"I observed a much deeper level of critical and systems thinking than I usually see in traditional mathematics lessons. "
Mathematics Teacher – Lithuania
"It allowed students to reflect on their own daily activities, making positive changes and linking maths application to the real world."
Mathematics Teacher – Oman
"Another thing that stood out was how naturally students connected mathematics with science, sustainability, and real-life situations. The lesson encouraged meaningful discussions, curiosity, and teamwork in a way that is not always seen in more traditional lessons."
Mathematics Teacher – Lithuania
"It helps us to relate Mathematics with real world, and then how it helps us to raise awareness about issues of real life which are ultimately related to global issues also through the SDG, this making us all a globally aware citizen."
Mathematics Teacher – India
