On the 13th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: maths cards!

Creating life chances

IDEMS emerged from maths education in Africa and we now work in partnership with a range of sister companies across the continent to create social, economic and environmental impact. Nurturing the next generation of talent, especially in those places where it’s typically overlooked, is a key part of that.

Why maths cards?

Every card features a problem or puzzle to develop mathematical thinking, problem solving, creativity and a love of real world maths as a gateway to exciting futures.

Each card also links via a QR code to a specific webpage with fun facts, further learning resources and suggestions for games.

What your purchase actually buys

For every pack of cards purchased in the UK, we will provide two packs for SAMI’s work in Africa and a share of the sale profits.

About IDEMS and SAMI

IDEMS builds open technology for social impact, deliver our services in partnership with local organisations to build equity in the place of exclusion. An international team working globally, we have developed not only cultural competences to identify analytic methods from new perspectives, but also a collaborative approach to delivery that can be as transformative as what is actually delivered. 

SAMI (Supporting African Maths Initiatives) is a UK-based charity dedicated to improving access to and quality of mathematics education in Africa. SAMI supports initiatives such as maths camps and clubs at school and university level, as well as technological developments in mathematics and statistics.
