Welcome to our roundup of all things Cambridge Mathematics

A message from our Director

Dear reader

Marhaba,

This is our last newsletter of 2025, a year filled with new products, new research work, and new projects. 

Mathematics and mathematics education were and remain the stars of the show, and while AI is now playing a bigger role and gaining more attention, keeping the human element at the core of what we do remains key. This year, we launched our hub for Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics Education (AIMED); we started our Staffroom Catch-Up podcast; we welcomed our first two interns; we released our second mathematics-focused Minecraft game; we published various articles and book chapters; we participated in local and international events; and we led or contributed to several projects, on our own or with Cambridge colleagues. Another exciting development was welcoming two team members as Framework Writers and Implementation Leads: Nadia who joined us a couple of months ago, and more recently Tabitha, who re-joins after nearly a year's absence. You all probably remember Tabs from her Framework writing work, her leading role in our professional learning activities, and from co-starring in our Framework-related videos! We are excited to have them both with us, and might be announcing more joiners in 2026 – who knows? 

You'll find in this issue two episodes of our podcast – a great way to spend quality time with Fran and her guests and listen to their stories and insights – and a blog by Ray where League of Legends and mathematics come together, proving yet again that mathematics and gaming are not exclusive! Also, you'll read our latest interview, this time with Dr Henna Koivusalo, and discover the new laboratory section on AIMED and learn about some of what we are cooking with AI.  

As 2025 draws to a close and as we prepare to welcome 2026, we all wish you, from Cambridge Mathematics, the happiest holidays and a new year filled with all that your heart wishes and hopes for. May your joyful moments grow exponentially, your sorrows converge to zero, and your peace of mind approach infinity.

See you in 2026! We have a lot of plans, many innovative ideas, and so much to share with you. So, do stay tuned and please keep in touch.

Best wishes,

We've just launched the AIMED laboratory on our website! 

These experiments are still in testing phase but are very promising. The goal is to harness the power of AI in various cases while still adopting a 'human in the loop' approach to ensure validity and accuracy.

Keep an eye on this section for full details, further updates and more experiments!
