Mathspace will continue to be implemented in 2026 across years 3 to 6. Our Parents & Citizens Association funds our students’ opportunity 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 for our students’ achievements, we will monitor their mathematics performance over the long term using NAPLAN and other systemic assessments 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 they receive the support and guidance they need.

Furthermore, Mathspace has partnered with esteemed educator Eddie Woo to create a video hub that aligns Woo’s educational content with 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’s Third-Party Software Guidelines also permit the use of 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 program’s flexibility and differentiation are among the many benefits it provides for students’ numeracy development. Mathspace offers individual reports and data to support teachers’ planning. It also provides flexibility for classroom use, including pre-teaching, post-teaching, and student-driven learning of numerical concepts.

One of the program’s key features is its ability to adapt the presentation of educational material based on 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 through hints and video tutorials, providing students with the tools they need to navigate challenges confidently.

At the school level, the same program used by all teachers from Year 3 to Year 6 provides greater individual differentiation in student learning than the static program offered by a single textbook, which suits everyone. Also, the program provides longitudinal data on students’ numeracy progress that teachers can review as students move through classes and year levels.
