Why Daily Maths Practice Matters More Than You Think
Skip It Today, Struggle Tomorrow
If 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.
“Less than half of teachers saymathsis timetabled daily in their school.”(Grattan Institute, 2023)
That means many children are going entire days-sometimes weeks - without focused maths time. And when that happens, it’s not just the content that’s lost. It’s the rhythm. The habit of thinking mathematically. And the belief that maths is something they can get good at with practice. If practice disappears, so does the confidence.
At My5 MinuteMathsTutor, we’ve designed our system to bring that consistency back. Every lesson has a predictable rhythm: five targeted 5-minute segments, each tackling a core maths concept. These are followed by a purposeful worksheet to immediately embed the learning. It’s structure that doesn’t just teach-it trains the brain to expect growth.
This kind of structure isn’t about pressure. It’s about repetition that feels manageable, routine that feels supportive, and progress that actually sticks. Children aren’t meant to learn in bursts. They thrive in steady, repeatable patterns.
If your child feels like maths is hit and miss-like they can never quite get into a groove - this is your chance to give them the rhythm their brain needs. Book a free call with a My5 team member and learn how our system brings consistency, clarity and confidence back into learning.
