We've got a guarantee that students will learn at least one year of math using our system 30 minutes per week.

So it's 10 minutes per day, three days per week.

After 10 weeks, what we measure is about a year and a half of gain.

Aditya Nagrath is a visionary, innovative and influential mathematician and education reformer who is the founder of Elephant Learning, a platform transforming math education through conceptual learning.

Most students coming into kindergarten have a challenge counting to 10, and kindergarten kind of starts at two-digit numbers.

And so that language gap exacerbates over time.

If you came into kindergarten able to understand the teacher, then the education system really actually works very well for you.

But if you didn't, you kind of struggle all the way along.

You did pretty good.

Thank you for having me.

I think so, yeah.

There's a lot, I think.

But I'm hoping that people learn how important mathematics is.

And I'm hoping that people learn to believe in themselves.

Yeah.

It's hard actually to realize how important mathematics is until you sit down and think about it because most professions, most activities that people engage in, they're kind of mathematical in nature.

Always.

But most of the time we don't approach it that way.

So a lot of professions are based on experience.

But I think that when you start to look deeper, what it really is, is a type of applied mathematics.
