Time to start investigating!

Note: iMaths is in its final year and will be discontinued at the end of 2024. If you’re looking for a primary maths resource written for the Australian Curriculum Version 9.0, explore Maths Trek.

It’s time to create those special maths memories that both you and your students will look back on in years to come – and iMaths is the perfect program to help you do it. It all begins when you start your first Investigation.

The benefits of Investigations are far reaching. They:

  • cover the proficiency strands of the curriculum
  • engage students in deeper learning
  • give students a chance to work cooperatively
  • get students up, active and sharing ideas
  • provide learning experiences that are relevant to real life
  • set a positive tone about maths and show that it’s practical and fun.

We love to see iMaths kids engaged, actively involved and having fun. That’s why we’re always excited to hear about the successes that are happening in classrooms all around Australia. Two of our iMaths classes have wholeheartedly embraced our Investigations and we’re so pleased to share their results.

Students at Sapphire Coast Anglican College loved completing the Investigation Once upon a castle. These students did a great job of designing and building 3D model castles that included towers, spires, a working drawbridge and a moat.

Students at a Sunshine Coast school became architects in the Investigation YouCube houses, and created 3D models of their cost-effective and functional dream homes. These young architects were certainly convincing when they delivered their sales pitches to prospective clients.
