This work explores the use of the Cozmo robot to deliver mathematicseducation. Recently, we see a lot of work presented onusing robots for education but few works centred around the agegroup of children between 14-17 years of age in combination witha non-humanoid robot. Reflecting on this limitation, Cozmo autonomouslydelivered engaging material and exercises to learners.We studied the subjective ratings of young learners' knowledgegains with Cozmo on the topics of algebra, geometry and trigonometry.We found that participants' subjective rating on their knowledgechanged significantly after the interaction. This implied apositive influence of employing Cozmo with this age group andalso reflected on the need to do more research in schools withaffordable non-humanoid, autonomous social robots.
