Now with Elephant Learning, Dr. Nagrath has taught nearly 200,000 years of mathematics to over 160,000 students around the world, and is on a mission to change the way the world teaches mathematics.
With a Facebook following of over 54k, Aditya has spoken at the University of Denver, and is the author of numerous scientific works, a series of blogs on learning mathematics, as well as the Amazon Best Sellers “Rethinking Math Learning” and "Treating Mathematics Anxiety." For his expertise, Dr. Nagrath has been recognized by the California Department of Education and featured in over 100 podcasts, news articles, interviews, and television/video appearances.
Elephant Learning was featured on Denver local news in 2017 when 2-year-old Miley was doing kindergarten mathematics after using Elephant Learning for 3 months.
When learning about numbers at Rick’s Center for Gifted Children in Denver, getting youth engaged in math now can help with a problem some students may face in the future. “In kindergarten they are already behind and they never really statistically catch up,” Elephant Learning CEO Aditya Nagrath said. “Mathematics for young children before algebra can predict success all the way to high school and even to college.”
University of Denver researchers create Elephant Learning Computer Education System to help empower children with mathematics.
Elephant Learning has launched enhanced K-12 mathematics solutions to help schools and districts address learning gaps and mathematics anxiety. Its research-based curriculum, adaptive technology and professional development for educators help improve outcomes across grade levels.

Elephant Learning, a mathematics learning platform founded by Aditya Nagrath, PhD, uses advanced adaptive algorithms to revolutionize mathematics education. By teaching mathematics as a language and moving away from rote memorization, the platform makes the subject more intuitive and accessible for students of all levels. Elephant Learning's adaptive system tailors content to each student's needs, ensuring they receive the right material at the right time. The platform also provides targeted teacher training and hands-on activities to reinforce learning outside the digital environment. This personalized approach helps students overcome mathematics anxiety and learning differences, leading to significant improvements in their mathematics skills.
