Recently, we had an insightful discussion with Aditya Nagrath, PhD – the founder and CEO of the online learning platform elephantlearning.com – regarding mathematics. Aditya said that people don’t necessarily suck at math – it’s just that there is a language gap between the student and the teacher. And it is this that their platform is geared to do by bridging that gap so teachers or parents could be more effective in communicating towards the student.
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.

Concepts in math build on each other as they go; if your teen runs into difficulty in algebra, then geometry and algebra 2 and calculus are only going to confuse them further. This is how our kids develop math anxiety, compounding years of failed understanding and struggle through their schooling. Dr. Aditya Nagrath joins Mighty Parenting podcast host Sandy Fowler and explains why our kids have math anxiety, how to tell when they have math anxiety and where the breakdown in understanding is happening, and how we can teach them the language of math and rebuild their confidence in themselves.
