Advanced technology tools could be the new weapon in tackling declining numeracy rates among Australian school students.

Education Perfect has been working with mathematics teachers across the country to create smarter tech designed to empower teachers with the tools, content and data required to tailor learning to meet the needs of each student.

“We’re very excited about our new chapter in mathematics”, Education Perfect CEO Jonathan Morgan said.

“We believe Australian teachers having easy and actionable curriculum-aligned assessments and insights at their finger tips will be a game-changer in helping all educators deliver personalised learning. This is why we are delighted to include the new assessment and analytics capabilities for existing customers and we are also launching a special free access for 2025 offer to a new assessment centric subscription plan for new customers in Australia.”

A recent survey of 450 teachers across Australia and New Zealand by Education Perfect found less than 30 per cent strongly agree they can use the data they receive from formative assessments to plan their teaching, and more than 50 per cent said the main challenge was the time it takes to create and manage.

Maths teacher Julia Min is excited by the changes.

“It is game-changing in the sense that it gives immediate, actionable insights into where students are at, allowing them to assign tasks to address any potential gaps in their learning in real time,” Ms Min said.

“This product isn’t just a tool; it’s a partner in ensuring students reach their full potential.”

In Victoria, Warrnambool College teacher Julia Brain said she was embracing EdTech tools.

“With the implementation of new and improved features, Education Perfect is becoming a fantastic tool for classroom and home learning use,” she said.

“Monitoring progress is simple, randomised tests are a great assessment tool and the interaction students have with each other in the online setting is a great motivator.”

Richard Irvine, a teacher at Crusoe College in Kangaroo Flat near Bendigo, said EP’s science and maths tools were “fantastic”.

“I am amazed by how much my students are learning in conjunction with other online platforms,” he said.

“The ongoing learning through extension tasks means I can get the very best out of my students.”

And in Queensland, Head of Year 8 at Sunshine Coast Grammar School, Elliot Cowan, said Education Perfect engaged those that need it most.

“I have found from student feedback that EP offers an adaptive learning experience, featuring interactive content and fun, gamified elements that can motivate participants to push themselves,” he said.

“Teachers can utilise EP to deliver Australian curriculum aligned lessons, assess student understanding, and personalise learning based on the individual student’s strengths and weaknesses.

“This individualised approach helps students to learn at their own speed and allows them to still achieve success in a differentiated manner. As an example of this, during a recent literacy competition, two students who had struggled with their language skills in the past made huge improvements and finished first and second in the year level. They were so proud of their efforts.”
