Swedish EdTech Firm Mathleaks Expands to U.S. with AI-Powered Math and Financial Literacy Tools

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 new opportunities in financial literacy education. The company, founded in Stockholm and widely adopted across Sweden for mathematics education, has reached more than 2.5 million students and educators globally and now brings its adaptive learning platform to address two key priorities in American education.

Mathleaks will introduce its fully U.S.-ready AI-powered math curriculum to Departments of Education, private school communities, and educational councils nationwide. The company will also focus on developing adaptive financial literacy tools, leveraging insights from its success in Sweden and guided by direct input from U.S. educators and stakeholders. According to Jesper Mårtensson, Mathleaks' co-founder, "We believe that both strong math skills and foundational financial literacy are essential to lifelong success, and we are committed to empowering U.S. educators with the tools they need to deliver both."

The initiative addresses a critical gap in American financial education. A 2024 national report revealed that only 27% of U.S. high school students are in 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 American students with access to elective courses or no financial education at all. Mårtensson emphasized that "Financial Literacy is one of the most pressing education gaps in the U.S., and we believe that adaptive, AI-supported tools - developed with direct input from U.S. teachers - can play an important role in helping to close that gap."

The U.S. initiative will begin by offering AI-powered math resources alongside teacher-facing financial literacy sample materials and educator webinars designed to gather direct feedback. This feedback will inform the development of expanded resources tailored to state and local needs across both subject areas. The company aims to support classroom instruction rather than replace it, centering its tools around flexibility, adaptability, and educator insights. 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 educational models, Mathleaks positions its AI as a behind-the-scenes assistant, with educators remaining in full control of instruction. The platform provides tools for tracking student progress, differentiating lessons, and customizing 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 gathered via webinars and classroom testing. The U.S. version of the platform will feature editable content templates, state-specific adaptability, and compatibility with both hybrid and in-person learning environments.

As the U.S. initiative progresses, Mathleaks plans to expand outreach to private schools and additional state education networks, with growth remaining measured and educator-driven. The company has indicated that its long-term role is not to serve as a conventional curriculum provider but as an innovation partner, developing adaptive educational resources through collaboration, transparency, and alignment with state and local needs.
