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

Swedish education technology company Mathleaks is expanding its operations to the United States with a comprehensive initiative focused on AI-powered mathematics instruction and financial literacy education. The company, which has already reached over 2.5 million students and educators globally, aims to support K-12 educators through adaptive learning technologies while addressing significant gaps in financial education across American schools.

The U.S. initiative will introduce Mathleaks' fully adapted AI-powered math curriculum to Departments of Education, private school communities, and educational councils nationwide. According to Jesper Mårtensson, Mathleaks' co-founder, the company believes that both strong math skills and foundational financial literacy are essential to lifelong success. The expansion represents a strategic move to empower U.S. educators with tools designed to enhance personalized learning while maintaining teacher control over instructional content.

Financial literacy education represents a particularly critical focus area for the U.S. initiative. Recent data reveals that only 27% of American 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 more than half of students with access to elective courses or no financial education whatsoever. Mathleaks plans to develop adaptive financial literacy tools leveraging insights from its success in Sweden while incorporating direct input from U.S. educators and stakeholders.

The company's approach centers on positioning AI as a behind-the-scenes assistant rather than an automation-heavy replacement for teachers. Both math and financial literacy modules incorporate an AI-powered adaptive engine that adjusts instructional content in real-time based on student inputs. The system helps identify where learners need additional support and offers personalized learning paths while ensuring educators remain in full control of instruction. This teacher-first philosophy emphasizes that technology should serve educators rather than replace them.

Initial U.S. pilot content includes foundational math modules and financial literacy modules covering topics such as budgeting, saving, investing, and credit management. These resources are supported by adaptive exercises and are designed to evolve through educator feedback gathered via webinars and classroom testing. The U.S. platform version will feature editable content templates, state-specific adaptability, and compatibility with both hybrid and in-person learning environments.

Mathleaks plans to pursue measured, educator-driven growth as its U.S. initiative progresses, with expansion planned for private schools and additional state education networks. The company has positioned itself as an innovation partner rather than a conventional curriculum provider, emphasizing collaboration, transparency, and alignment with state and local needs. This expansion represents a significant development in educational technology, particularly given the growing recognition of financial literacy as a critical skill for American students navigating increasingly complex economic landscapes.
