Mathematics is a core component in the development of a child’s learning and thinking. Research shows that the mathematical knowledge a child gains early in their education will predict their achievement in mathematics and reading throughout school and in later years. For example, a very young child who is encouraged to explore mathematical graphics will become a confident communicator – both verbally and in writing – in all six areas of learning development.
To help a child realise their full potential in Mathematics, a teacher needs to support the child at their specific stage of learning development, rather than teach to the general level of the class. This can be difficult for any teacher who has more students in the class than they do time or resources. It is especially difficult for a primary school teacher who is required to teach every subject, and who is rarely maths-trained.
Maths Builder fully supports primary school teachers by providing an enriched Mathematics teaching program that is underpinned by educational rigour, innovative design, and learning resources that are motivating and fun for all children.
