Numeric Information

We are a small team of friendly people who are on a mission to help young South Africans excel in maths! Only 2% of children who start school together finished matric in 2019 with a solid understanding of mathematics and the skills required to access tertiary studies in maths and science. Our approach solves the problem by focusing on grade 7 learners through running after-school maths classes and pre-service teachers through a year-long teaching internship. We currently operate 45 after school programs in Cape Town and Johannesburg with 98 active coaches and over 2400 participating learners. Our programs are targeted at learners in Grades 6, and 7 and provide an intensive one year program that covers arithmetic and pre-algebra. Because most South African children have developed gaps in their foundational mathematics, Numeric programs are not curriculum aligned, but focus on building mathematics intensively and rapidly from the ground up. Our programs are staffed by passionate young coaches who themselves are training to become maths teachers.
