This practical course will teach the student effective strategies and develop their conceptual understanding of Stage 3 Maths concepts. This program integrates the components of working mathematically through whole number, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, fractions and decimals, patterns and algebra. Maths coaching is individualised to cater for the educational needs of the students who wish to understand the key concepts in Maths or for those looking for extension. Professional qualified and experienced teachers help your child realise their full potential through sequential instruction in small class settings.

The students will explore and strengthen any individual weaknesses they may be experiencing and consolidate the mathematical concepts needed to become proficient and confident mathematical users.

Through coaching the students have the opportunity to be taught how to use known facts, objects, diagrams and technology to explore mathematical problems and develop mathematical fluency. The students are shown how to link mathematical ideas and use appropriate language and diagrams to explain the strategies they used.

This coaching covers the correct use of mathematical terminology and some conventions allowing the student to use mental and written strategies to solve word problems while effectively using the 4 operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication & division).

The intended learning outcome is for the student to develop their skills in one or more of the following areas:

• select and apply appropriate mental, written, calculator strategies and solve word problems for the four operations and simple fractions, decimals and percentages.
• use 24-hour time in real-life situations.
• classify three-dimensional objects and two-dimensional shapes, and compare and describe their features.
• use appropriate unit to estimate, measure and calculate length, area, volume, capacity and mass.
• make connections between capacity and volume, and solve problems involving length and area.
• use explore mathematical problems and develop mathematical fluency.
