Math scores are falling. IT can help turn that around.
IT teams don't build the numeracy curriculum. But numeracy programs might succeed or stall based on the technology underneath them: whether devices are ready on day one, whether apps load without friction and whether student data stays protected.
Why numeracy, and why now? Performance is dropping. A 2025 OECD analysis found students behind on math by three-quarters of a year, the first steep decline after 15 years of stability.
This guide breaks down what IT teams can control, including:
- Equitable device and app access across every school
- Consistent configurations that balance restriction with the flexibility teachers need
- Automated app deployment that scales across grades, teachers and devices
- Privacy safeguards for adaptive math tools that collect student behavior data
- Ways to measure whether a numeracy program delivers real value, not just screen time
