A FREE SUMMER PROGRAMME
Not your usual maths class.
Mathagascar helps teenagers aged 14–18 build essential mathematics and business skills through practical lessons, teamwork and games.
You might calculate the cost of vanilla at the market, work out a tuk-tuk journey, estimate the materials needed to build a house or run your own shop in our trading game.
All abilities are welcome. The focus is on learning, participation and confidence. We have 3 or 4 teaching assistants in each class, so if you don’t understand anything, individual help is available throughout the lessons.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Skills for real life.
Measure & build
Length, area, perimeter, volume and practical geometry.
Everyday maths
Time, speed, distance, ratios and proportions.
Business skills
Profit, costs, pricing, saving, borrowing and interest.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Learn. Play. Grow.
The previous programme ran over six weeks, combining classroom lessons with practical activities and business games. Each lesson introduces a concept, gives you a chance to practise and then shows how it applies to real situations.
For the next course, we are planning to return in July and August 2027. Exact dates, venue and registration details will be confirmed.
WHAT OUR STUDENTS ACHIEVED
From 25% to 75%.
Average test scores rose from 25% at the beginning of our 2026 programme to 75% at the end, using questions of similar type and difficulty.
The important part? Young people gained not just useful maths skills, but a real sense of what makes a good business and how to launch an entrepreneurial career.
