Statistics and probability can be difficult because they ask children to read information carefully, compare data and think about chance. Even when the maths looks simple, the questions often need strong reasoning and problem-solving skills.
It can also become more challenging if a child has missed earlier skills. Statistics builds on number knowledge, reading scales, understanding graphs, comparing values and working with averages. Probability also relies on careful language, especially when children are asked to decide whether something is impossible, unlikely, likely or certain.
That’s why it’s so important to find and fix any gaps, so your child can build confidence with statistics and probability. When the foundations are stronger, they can read information more clearly, make better comparisons and understand chance more confidently.
We start with an assessment to understand your child’s current maths level, identify any gaps in understanding across multiple year levels of the Australian Curriculum, and see where they are ready to move ahead. From there, we create a personalised weekly learning plan tailored to their needs.
Your child’s personalised learning plan is delivered weekly and can be completed at home on a tablet or computer. Each Monday, new 20-minute maths lessons are added based on your child’s progress, helping keep learning at the right level and supporting a consistent learning routine.
As your child strengthens their foundations, you’ll see them build skills and confidence in maths, and keep moving forward at a pace that feels right for them.
If your child needs extra support, our online maths tutors are there to explain concepts further and answer questions, so your child can continue with confidence.
When your child gets started with Kinetic Education, their first step is completing our Maths Doctor assessment. This checks their maths skills across multiple year levels of the Australian Curriculum, including fractions, decimals and percentages.
The assessment helps us understand their current skills, identify any earlier gaps that may be making these topics more difficult and see where they are ready to move ahead.
It takes up to 45 minutes and gives us a clear starting point for your child’s personalised weekly learning plan. From there, we can strengthen the right foundations while helping them continue working through the curriculum at a pace that suits them.
At Kinetic, statistics and probability run through your child's personalised learning plan from the very beginning, as part of a complete maths program aligned to the Australian Curriculum. Here is how it works:
Every Monday, we update your child’s learning plan with new maths activities for the week, selected around their assessment results and progress. Their learning plan moves through three stages: Revision and Catch-Up, Consolidation, and Extension.
When your child first starts with Kinetic Education, their learning plan targets the knowledge gaps identified in their assessment. This may mean revisiting earlier fractions, decimals or percentages skills and strengthening the foundations they need before moving into more complex work.
As your child builds their understanding, their learning plan continues to reinforce the skills they are currently working on. Regular practice helps them use maths skills across the curriculum, including fractions, decimals and percentages, with more confidence and apply what they have learned to different types of questions.
When your child is ready to move ahead, their learning plan introduces more challenging maths across the curriculum, including fractions, decimals and percentages. This helps them extend their understanding, build confidence and apply their skills to more complex questions and real-world maths.
Trusted by 100,000+ Australian Families
Every activity your child completes earns points they can save and swap for real rewards, including Smiggle, Myer and WISH gift cards. That extra bit of motivation helps keep learning steady, especially for children who have found maths hard.
Statistics and probability are included as part of Kinetic Education’s maths support. Starting from $29 per week for the family, Kinetic Education includes the full Australian Curriculum assessment, a personalised weekly learning plan, access to all lessons and activities, tutor support up to 10 hours per week, weekly progress reports and the Parent Helpline. New families receive their first two weeks free.
Statistics is about collecting, showing and reading data, such as making and interpreting graphs. Probability is about how likely something is to happen, measured on a scale from impossible to certain. Children learn both from the early years of primary schoo
Reading a graph is a different skill to making one. It means noticing the scale, comparing values and drawing a fair conclusion. Our lessons focus on interpreting data, not just creating it, so your child can answer the questions that follow.
Children start describing chance in the early years using words like "likely" and "unlikely". From around Year 5 and 6 they begin putting numbers to it, using fractions and decimals, and it becomes more detailed through high school.
Through interactive lessons that use clear visuals and a mix of question types with instant feedback, so reading data and understanding chance feel approachable. Tutors are available to talk through anything that isn't clicking.
Kinetic's maths support covers statistics and probability alongside the other key areas of the Australian maths curriculum. It starts from $29 per week for the family, and your first two weeks are free.
