House of Math Expands to U.S. to Tackle Declining Math Scores and Anxiety

Vibeke Gwendoline Faengsrud, the founder and CEO of House of Math, is on a mission to change the way students perceive and learn mathematics. From her own struggles with math in high school to earning a master's degree in mathematical finance, Faengsrud's personal journey is the foundation of House of Math's philosophy. The platform, which has been successful in Norway for nearly two decades, is now expanding to the U.S. to address declining math scores, widening achievement gaps, and increasing math anxiety among students.

House of Math distinguishes itself from other learning platforms by combining neuroscience, gamification, AI, and mastery-based learning to create a comprehensive system that covers the entire K–12 curriculum. The platform's unique approach includes personalized AI guidance, adaptive progression, and formative feedback, all designed to fill knowledge gaps before moving forward. This method is rooted in Faengsrud's belief that math is a skill anyone can learn with the right approach, not a talent reserved for a select few.

One of the key challenges House of Math aims to address is the 'math brain' myth, the misconception that some people are inherently bad at math. Faengsrud's own experience of going back to fourth-grade math concepts to fill her knowledge gaps underscores the platform's emphasis on mastering foundational skills. By providing students with the tools and support they need to succeed, House of Math is working to dismantle this myth and empower students to change their futures through math.

The expansion of House of Math to the U.S. comes at a critical time, as math scores continue to decline and math anxiety reaches an all-time high. With its proven track record in Norway, the platform is poised to make a significant impact on math education in the U.S. by offering a scalable, effective solution that makes math accessible, joyful, and empowering for all students.
