‘Unproven’ teaching methods have failed primary students and teachers

“We need to stop accepting maths mediocrity. We need to set higher standards and go after them.”
The Maths Guarantee report surveyed 1745 teachers, with one in five saying they worried about teaching maths, while 94 per cent of school leaders said at least some teachers at their school would be hesitant to teach grade 5 or 6 maths.
A 2023 global maths test found just 13 per cent of Australian grade 4 students excelled in maths, compared to 22 per cent in England and 49 per cent in Singapore.
“We should be doing at least as well as England,” Hunter said. “We don’t stand for [being beaten by England] in cricket, and we shouldn’t stand for it in mathematics.”
