Education and Early Childhood Learning Minister Tracy Schmidt announced Friday that the Manitoba government continues to support French-language math education for students in Grades 1 through 9.
“Strong math skills are essential to student success, and we’re committed to providing French-language educators and students with the best tools available,” said Schmidt in a news release.
“Netmath gives teachers the resources they need to create engaging, personalized learning experiences that help students build confidence and competence in mathematics.”
Canadian-developed Netmath is a fully bilingual platform aligned with Manitoba’s mathematics curriculum for grades 1 to 9. Through the platform, educators can create virtual classrooms, assign tasks and monitor student progress in real time.
Manitoba students in Grades 1 to 9 in French and French immersion will continue to access Netmath online learning for the remainder of the 2025-26 school year, as well as 2026-27 and 2027-28 school years, because of the $230,400.
French-language students will have access to high-quality, curriculum-aligned digital resources in their language of instruction because of the investment. Approximately 12,000 students and teachers will take advantage of it annually.
“For several years, the Division scolaire franco-manitobaine has used Netmath to enrich and support mathematics learning across multiple grade levels. This innovative platform is more than just a digital tool, it’s a dynamic, engaging way for students to explore mathematical concepts with confidence. Its playful design encourages creativity, while its built‑in feedback helps students truly understand and apply what they’re learning,” said Alain Laberge, superintendent, Division scolaire franco-manitobaine in a news release. “This initiative has been a tremendous asset to our classrooms, and the DSFM is proud to continue offering Netmath as part of our commitment to high‑quality, modern education.”
To support student success in French-language education, the federal and provincial governments have committed to and invested in the three-year investment and digital learning resources.
