The Small Changes That Helped a Student Improve in Maths

A parent once asked:

"My child understands maths, but during tests they make silly mistakes and lose confidence."

This is actually a very common problem. Many students don't struggle because they cannot do maths — they struggle because they haven't built the right habits.

Here are a few simple things that can make a big difference:

1. Don't just practise answers — understand mistakes.
After every test, don't only look at the score. Look at:

What type of questions were wrong?
Was it a concept problem?
A calculation mistake?
A reading mistake?

A mistake reviewed today can prevent the same mistake tomorrow.

Watch out for next few tips on this.

📘 NAPMASTER STUDY TIP (Reading) : Don’t Rush the Question!

Before choosing an answer in NAPLAN, try this simple 3-step method:

✅ 1. Read the question carefully
Look for key words like most likely, best, difference, explain or according to the text.

✅ 2. Find the evidence
Don’t guess. Go back to the passage, graph or question and find the clue that supports your answer.

✅ 3. Check every option
Ask yourself: Why are the other answers wrong?

⭐ Remember: The fastest student is not always the best student — careful thinking can save marks.

Yesterday, a Year 3 student asked us a very interesting question:

“if I give you $10, how many 5-cent coins will I get?”

Instead of giving him the answer straight away, we said, “Let’s work it out together.”

First, we asked, “How many 10-cent coins are there in $1?”

He quickly replied, “Ten.”

Then we asked, “How many 5-cent coins make one 10-cent coin?”

He answered, “Two.”

Next, we said, “So, if there are ten 10-cent coins in $1, and each 10-cent coin is equal to two 5-cent coins, how many 5-cent coins are there in $1?”

He paused for a moment, thought carefully, and said:

“10 × 2 = 20. So, there are 20 five-cent coins in $1!”

“Hooray! You got it!” we said.

Then we asked, “Now, how many 5-cent coins would you get for $10?”

This time, he answered immediately:

“20 × 10 = 200 five-cent coins!”

He was so excited to discover such a big number.

Then he smiled and asked, “Can you give me 200 five-cent coins if I give you $10?”

We asked, “What would you do with all those coins?”

His innocent answer was:

“I will collect them!”

This little moment reminded us of something important: children do not always need the answer immediately. Sometimes, they just need the right questions, small clues and enough time to think.

When we guide them step by step, they learn how to solve the problem themselves—and that confidence stays with them for future challenges.
