How Inconsistent Maths Teaching Is Holding Students Back
Mixed Messages. Missed Milestones.
Every 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.
“Just 46 per cent say that teachers at their school agree on what effective maths teaching entails.”(Grattan Institute, 2023)
That’s nearly half of all schools operating without a clear, unified maths approach. Not because teachers aren’t doing their best - they are. But because without shared tools and structure, things become fragmented. And when learning feels different every day, children start to feel uncertain, confused, and disconnected from their own progress.
That’s exactly why My5 Minute Maths Tutor was built from the ground up as a structured, consistent learning system. Each 30-minute lesson is made up of five short, focused mini-lessons, followed by a matching worksheet to reinforce the concept straight away. It’s a rhythm that keeps learning stable-no matter what’s happening at school.
When your child experiences that kind of regularity, everything changes. They start to expect clarity, anticipate progress, and build confidence based on results they can feel. And as a parent, you can finally stop wondering whether they’re falling through the cracks.
If you’re ready to bring structure and certainty into your child’s maths learning, book a free call with a My5 team member today. We’ll show you how to give your child the consistency the school system can’t always provide-and the confidence that consistency creates.
