Teachers write words on the whiteboard, teach and ask questions to their schoolchildren using words, and schoolchildren are supposed to answer questions in words. Words are the basement of teaching.

What if we were wrong?

What if words were the problem of children dropping out of Math?

And as you may know, dropping out of Math could have a domino effect on dropping out the rest of the disciplines taught.

In Luxembourg, the National language is Luxembourgish, but Luxembourg is a highly international country in which only 37% of children are native Luxembourgish speakers at primary school. You can find children from 10 different European countries in a classroom!

Therefore, teaching math with words can be a good fit only for native children. The others will drop out.

Even among native speakers, trying to understand math taught with words is still a challenge. Math is not meant to express words; therefore, math should never be taught with words!

This is the challenge Dr Tahereh Pazouki took up.

Dr Tahereh Pazouki is a computer scientist by training and holds a PhD in psychology from the University of Luxembourg. During her research, she applied her computer science skills to the field of cognitive psychology. This is how Magrid came to life. Magrid is a revolutionary solution which removes the language barrier in learning math.
