Mathspace will continue its implementation in 2025 across years 3 to 6. Our Parents & Citizens Association funds the opportunity for our students to utilise this program, and we thank them for that. Students will receive their logins by the end of Week 2, term 1. Please talk to your class teacher about any queries that you may have
To determine the program’s value regarding our students’ achievements, we will be monitoring our students’ achievements in mathematics over the long term using our NAPLAN and other systemic assessments that the school uses. A study has shown that Mathspace, when used properly, significantly adds to a student’s mathematical ability. (Read Here)
Mathspace is an innovative online mathematics program for students ages 7 to 18. It has garnered widespread acclaim and is used by schools across Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, and India. The program’s adaptive learning model customises the educational experience for each student, ensuring that they receive the support and guidance they need based on their individual learning needs.
Furthermore, Mathspace has partnered with esteemed educator Eddie Woo to create a video hub aligning Woo’s educational content with various state curricula across Australia. This partnership exemplifies the program’s commitment to enhancing the learning experience for students. The program includes an interactive textbook with work examples, video tutorials, and video work examples.
It is worth noting that Mathspace was developed in Australia. Student data is stored on secure Australian servers, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. The Department of Education Third Party Software Guidelines also permit using Mathspace within schools.
Several local high schools in the area, both government and non-government, have successfully integrated Mathspace into their middle and early high school mathematics programs. By introducing our students to this platform, we aim to facilitate a seamless transition into high school-level mathematics.
The flexibility and differentiation offered by the program are among the many benefits it provides for student numeracy development. Mathspace offers individual reports and data that drive forward planning for teachers. It also provides flexibility in how it can be used in the classroom for pre-teaching, post-teaching, or student-driven learning of numerical concepts.
One of the program’s key features is its ability to adapt the presentation of educational material in response to students’ performance and responses. The program considers past performance, and Mathspace selects questions most suited to each student’s level of understanding. In addition, the program offers invaluable support in the form of hints and video tutorials, providing students with the tools they need to navigate through challenges confidently.
At a school level, the same program used by all teachers from Year 3 to Year 6 provides more individual differentiation in student learning than the static program offered by the concept of one textbook, which suits everyone. Also, the program provides longitudinal data on students’ numeracy progress that teachers can review as the student progresses through classes and year levels.
