Student A started the programme in Year 7. At this time, she had significant gaps in her understanding of number at, and above, Year 2 level and numbers above 2-digits. She was unable to access content at secondary level due to these gaps in her skills and understanding. Her confidence was low and she felt negative about maths, which also impacted other areas of her learning and her self-esteem.
Student A was removed from secondary lessons where she could not access the content, and her maths lessons replaced with the programme, following the order of topics and tutorials from her individual Roadmap to build back her understanding.
After one term of using the programme, she developed her understanding and methods for calculation and is making good progress. In the number areas of maths worked through, she is now working at Year 3/4 level and her confidence and self-belief is growing. She is now confidently helping another student in her group, explaining the methods which is not only strengthening her own understanding but also giving her more confidence in herself.
