Where Maths Grows: A New Green Shoots Story

By Jo Besford | Director

At Green Shoots, we believe that every learner deserves the opportunity to grow in Maths.

We are excited to share our new video, Where Maths Grows, which captures how learners, teachers, schools, districts, and partners are working together to improve Maths learning across South Africa.

The video tells the story behind the numbers. It shows learners building their Maths skills through regular practice, teachers using real-time insights to provide targeted support, and schools creating environments where learning keeps moving forward.

Thanks to supporters like you, Green Shoots and Maths Curriculum Online (MCO) now support hundreds of thousands of learners across urban, township, farm, and rural schools. Together, we are helping make progress in Maths visible and achievable.

What excites us most is that growth in Maths is not only happening at school. Learners are increasingly choosing to continue learning at home, with more than 2.4 million out-of-school MCO sessions recorded during 2025.

Thank you for helping us create opportunities for learners to practise, improve, and succeed in Maths.

Your support is helping transform daily Maths practice into meaningful progress for hundreds of thousands of South African learners. Thank you for being part of this journey.
