US Content Manager

About Magma Math

Magma is a startup that has quickly grown to become the leading platform for data-driven math education. By leveraging handwritten solutions in a digital format, Magma allows teachers to emphasize creativity in math while gaining critical insights into pupil progression. This creates a more engaging, inclusive, and pedagogically effective math class for all students. 

Math remains the largest challenge for schools, where one in five pupils in grade 9 are low performers. It’s also one of the core pillars on which careers are built, and we believe that primary and secondary school math represents one of the largest opportunities for improving educational outcomes and career prospects for children and young adults. 

Originally founded in Stockholm, Magma is growing rapidly across the UK, Europe, and the US. We are an ambitious team on a meaningful mission of improving math education for millions of children.
