Struggling with maths in school is all too common, and the recent “National Report on Schooling” revealed that too many students are already failing maths when they start high school and many more have serious knowledge gaps.

Ebony was a struggling grade 5 student until she enrolled in the Maths Wiz program. She had completely lost confidence.

“Before I was using Kinetic, it was just really bad. I was getting C’s and it was really disappointing. I used to always ask people in my class how to do the maths because I wasn’t sure on it. Now I’m helping other people with understanding maths and it’s a really good feeling”, said Ebony.

“Maths Wiz is really exciting, it never gets boring because you can follow what you’re doing at school and sometimes you can even skip ahead a bit and so when you get to learning that at school you already know it. When I started using Kinetic Education, it was fantastic, I went from a C to a B minus, to a B plus, to an A.”

Now Ebony is a very confident year 8 student and enjoys assisting her class-mates when they get stuck at their maths. Ebony has been using the Kinetic Education programs steadily for more than two years to support what she is being taught at school.

Ebony’s Mum, Leanne, is very thankful that she found Kinetic Education. The program was actually recommended to her by a teacher whose child was using the program and doing so well that they all thought she was gifted!

“When Ebony came home and said to me 'I think I need some help', then I had to do something. You can’t just say 'Oh, you’ll be right' because another year goes passed and they’re falling further and further behind. You’ve actually got to act on it, to help your child.”
