Kids’ Maths Club.
A weekly after-school maths enrichment club for Years 4–6 students to explore mathematics more deeply, strengthen their understanding and enjoy the challenge of thinking things through.
Small-group sessions, with parents registering their children on a term-by-term basis. Designed to build mathematical understanding, reasoning and confidence beyond the classroom.

Different starting points.
Plenty of room to grow.
Kids’ Maths Club is designed for children with different mathematical strengths and needs. Some are ready for greater challenge, while others benefit from opportunities to develop deeper understanding.
They’re ready for a challenge.
They enjoy mathematics but rarely encounter problems that really make them think. They’re curious, capable and ready to explore ideas more deeply.
They can do it, but don’t always know why.
They can follow procedures, but some important mathematical connections haven’t quite fallen into place.
They need time to think.
They benefit from opportunities to explore ideas, discuss strategies and develop confidence when faced with unfamiliar problems.
The same problem. Different possibilities.
Our activities use a low-floor, high-ceiling approach: accessible starting points with opportunities for increasingly sophisticated thinking. Students can work on the same problem at different levels, exploring ideas in ways that challenge and extend them.
More than tutoring.
Kids’ Maths Club builds on the value of tutoring by offering something additional: time to investigate rich mathematical ideas, make connections and develop confidence as independent thinkers.
Our program is deliberately designed around the mathematical ideas that matter most, particularly those that underpin the increasingly abstract mathematics students encounter in secondary school.
We pay close attention to how children develop mathematical understanding, including the misconceptions and gaps that can remain hidden behind correct answers. Through rich tasks, different representations and mathematical discussion, students learn to explain their reasoning, make connections and understand why mathematical relationships work.
Meet the founder
The six big ideas in mathematics.
Kids’ Maths Club explores six interconnected big ideas that form the foundations of mathematical understanding. These ideas help children make sense of mathematics, recognise relationships and develop the reasoning skills they need as mathematics becomes increasingly abstract.
Trusting the count & additive thinking
Developing a strong sense of number, understanding quantities and exploring how numbers can be combined, separated and related through addition and subtraction.
Place value
Understanding how our base-ten number system works, how numbers are structured and how the position of a digit determines its value.
Multiplicative thinking
Developing a deeper understanding of multiplication, division, factors, multiples and the relationships between quantities.
Partitioning
Exploring how numbers and quantities can be broken into parts and recombined, including fractions, equivalence and flexible ways of representing numbers.
Proportional reasoning
Making sense of ratios, fractions, scaling and how quantities change in relation to one another.
Patterns & generalising
Investigating what changes, what stays the same and how mathematical relationships can be recognised, represented and expressed as general rules.
What happens at Kids’ Maths Club?
Sessions combine purposeful mathematical learning with opportunities to investigate, collaborate and think creatively. Here’s a taste of what students might explore.
Investigate & discover
Students might build a growing pattern, predict what comes next and investigate how to describe the relationship mathematically.
Reason & problem-solve
Students tackle puzzles and challenges that encourage them to test ideas, compare strategies and explain why a solution works.
Discuss & collaborate
Through mathematical games and shared investigations, students explain their thinking, question assumptions and learn from one another.
Sessions & fees.
Kids’ Maths Club currently runs in Gisborne on Monday afternoons. Both session times offer the same Years 4–6 program, with activities differentiated to suit students’ understanding and readiness for challenge.
Parents enrol their children for a school term, with one 45-minute session each week across the eight-session program.
Includes eight face-to-face, 45-minute small-group mathematics enrichment sessions.
