Hi folks,

The DEECD is exploring the use in schools of commercial applications for the teaching of mathematics in the years P-2 and 3-8. We would value feedback in this inquiry. I understand you may have already approached regarding this issue for the 9-12 cohort.  

The essential questions we are interested in are: 

    1. Is the school using any commercial programs/applications to teach mathematics in years P-2 and 3-8? 
    2. What is focus of the programs/applications do what are the features that make them attractive or unique? 
    3. Do the programs allow for any of the following: individualised pathways for students, tracking of progress or aggregated data on student progress
