Year 6 is the last year of primary education in Australia. This means for many students it’s the last opportunity to build a deep foundation of understanding, before moving to high school education, where the curriculum becomes more complex. The expectation of a high school student is higher than that of a primary student, and along with these higher expectations, new subjects such as Chemistry, Physics, and Economics all require a solid understanding of mathematical concepts and rules. As your child prepares for high school, the content can feel heavier. This is where some children start to worry or become disheartened if they are not receiving the results they desire. By offering your child the chance to practice their skills on the Doodle maths app, you can support your child in developing their mathematical confidence, independence, and resilience. The maths practice app can be used online or offline! Perfect for on-the-go families or for those long sibling waits during sports practice!
During their Year 6 maths lessons, students will be exploring:
Unlock unlimited maths questions
Put your skills to the test with fun exercises + maths games that are proven to boost ability!
