Swedish EdTech Leader Mathleaks Launches U.S. Initiative Focused on AI-Powered Math and Financial Literacy Education

Swedish education technology company Mathleaks is launching its U.S. initiative with a mission to support K-12 educators through AI-powered adaptive math instruction while exploring opportunities in financial literacy education. The company, which has reached more than 2.5 million students and educators globally, brings its adaptive learning platform to address two key priorities: enhancing math instruction through personalized learning and contributing to more effective financial literacy education through teacher collaboration.

Mathleaks co-founder Jesper Mårtensson emphasized the company's commitment to empowering U.S. educators with tools needed to deliver both strong math skills and foundational financial literacy, which he described as essential to lifelong success. The initiative will introduce fully U.S.-ready AI-powered math curriculum to Departments of Education, private school communities, and educational councils nationwide while developing adaptive financial literacy tools leveraging insights from the company's success in Sweden.

The program begins by offering AI-powered math resources alongside teacher-facing financial literacy sample materials and educator webinars designed to gather direct feedback. According to a 2024 national report cited by the company, only 27% of U.S. high school students attend schools where personal finance is required as a standalone course, with an additional 16% receiving financial education integrated into other required courses. This leaves over half of students with access to elective courses or no financial education at all.

Mårtensson identified financial literacy as one of the most pressing education gaps in the U.S., believing that adaptive, AI-supported tools developed with direct teacher input can help close that gap. Both math and financial literacy modules incorporate an AI-powered adaptive engine that adjusts instructional content in real time based on student inputs, helping identify where learners need additional support and offering personalized learning paths.

Unlike automation-heavy models, Mathleaks positions its AI as a behind-the-scenes assistant, with educators remaining in full control of instruction. The platform provides tools to track student progress, differentiate lessons, and customize content to align with instructional styles and curriculum goals. Initial U.S. pilot content includes foundational math modules and financial literacy modules covering topics such as budgeting, saving, investing, and credit management, supported by adaptive exercises intended to evolve through educator feedback.

The U.S. version of the platform features editable content templates, state-specific adaptability, and compatibility with both hybrid and in-person learning environments. As the initiative progresses, Mathleaks plans to expand outreach to private schools and additional state education networks through measured, educator-driven growth reflecting feedback gathered during the pilot phase. The company has indicated its long-term role is not as a conventional curriculum provider but as an innovation partner developing adaptive educational resources through collaboration and alignment with state and local needs.
