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.
