In Early Stage 1 (Kindergarten) your child will learn about and use known facts to explore mathematical problems and develop fluency with mathematical ideas.

In Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2) your child will continue to develop mathematical fluency, explaining their thinking and the strategies they choose to use.

In Stage 2 (Years 3 and 4) your child will learn about and use efficient mental and written strategies, developing increased fluency and confidence.

In Stage 3 (Years 5 and 6) your child will continue to demonstrate increased fluency when choosing and using mathematical techniques, strategies and terminology.

With MathsBites, maths and maths homework no longer need to be a negative experience. 

Research shows that when parents get involved in maths, everyone wins.

“Positive parental homework involvement is beneficial to students and is associated with higher levels of student achievement.”

(Hoover-Dempsey et al., 2001)

“Parents have a powerful influence on homework. Their influence comes from … the way in which they encourage their children to engage with homework. Student literacy and numeracy outcomes can improve when they engage in active conversation with family members.”


(Epstein et al., 1997)

“Both parents and teachers have an important role to play; their roles do not replace but rather complement and reinforce the other’s role thus providing the student with a consistent message ... Thinking of parents and teachers as ‘partners’ refers to this mutual effort
toward a shared goal.
It also implies shared responsibility of parents and teachers for supporting students as learners.”


(Christenson & Sheridan, 2001)

Maths and maths homework doesn’t have to be a negative experience.
Let MathsBites help you, help your child.

What are parents saying about MathsBites?

  • The videos have absolutely given me a better understanding behind the format that the maths is based upon.

    The explanations are clear and straight forward.

    I think it’s a fabulous tool for parents trying to wrap their head around what the hell their kids are trying to explain when going through their homework as it’s all so different to how we were taught!

    Thank you – it’s really been a game changer for some of the concepts I was not understanding previously.

  • Incredible!

    You made decimals easy for me to understand. Your explanations are clear and the visual images are perfect.

    I loved the handy hints for things to do at home to support concepts.

    These types of hints in terms of practical, hands on activities are exactly what I was looking for as a parent to help consolidate learning.”

  • I've just logged on to MathsBites and it's @#$%^&* amazing!

    This is going to be soooo helpful with my two girls. My eldest doesn’t like maths and is just scraping by.

    Knowing the curriculum and the language teachers use with the kids and how they teach concepts is a game changer for me.

  • The tutorials are wonderfully presented...

    …importantly, they and the website are easy to follow and understand.

    I will be using your advice to incorporate more maths into our family life to emphasise the importance of the different maths aspects e.g. decimals, language, etc.
