PERSONALISED LEARNING

In the average year 7 classroom, there is an eight year spread of ability.
So, how do teachers address this?

When content is delivered according to year level, it is incredibly challenging to target every student’s point of need. In fact, providing individualised learning without support means growing the teacher’s already considerable workload to develop more assessments and more resources. Maths Pathway overcomes these challenges supporting you to provide truly differentiated learning to each student, without additional admin.

What our techers say about spread of ability

Teachers on the Spread of Ability

The spread of ability in a classroom has always been an issue. This common situation puts pressure on teachers to cater to the needs of every student, but there isn’t enough time, resources, or data to support every child to the extent they need.
