Meet the Team

The program for most math teachers usually consists of tests, assignments and lectures on the board, which works well for many, but can become repetitive and potentially demotivate. I believe that MathGlad is necessary to increase motivation, but also to give them a unique opportunity to collaborate in a way that makes math fun.

I have personally experienced that mathematics teaching at school can become a bit boring and repetitive, and this can be decisive for the student's enjoyment of mathematics. That's why I'm involved with MathGlad, which promotes fun and educational competitions. I hope this can help ignite the same interest I have in maths among students throughout Scandinavia.

Math can often feel challenging and maybe a bit dry. But what if math could also be fun, creative, and engaging? My own experience is that repetition alone rarely solves everything – it’s when I’ve discussed with others and collaborated on problems that I’ve truly understood and felt motivated. Through varied and exciting tasks, I’ve seen how math can open up new perspectives and provide a sense of achievement. I’m helping to organize MathGlad so that more students can see math from a new perspective and hopefully find it more engaging.
