Kirrily KuschertWhen it comes to lifting maths achievement, the window of opportunity is earlier than most people realise. It’s not in high school. It’s not in Year 6. According to the Grattan Institute, the greatest impact happens in primary school. This is where confidence is shaped, skills are built, and belief systems are formed. And this is where the most meaningful change can begin.
Kirrily KuschertIn any given primary school classroom, there’s a wide range of ability-but most parents don’t realise just how wide. The difference between the most advanced and most behind students can span up to seven years. That’s not a typo. Seven years. And the scary part? These gaps don’t scream. They whisper. And they widen silently over time when the early signs are missed or dismissed.
Kirrily KuschertEvery child deserves a consistent, clear approach to learning maths. But across Australia, that’s not always what they get. Without a shared system, what’s taught and how it’s taught can vary wildly - even within the same school. And when messages are mixed, milestones get missed.
Kirrily KuschertIf maths is only showing up some days at school, it’s no wonder so many kids feel behind. Consistency is king when it comes to building confidence in maths. But if the rhythm is missing, so is the progress. And that can have lasting effects.
