K-7 Multi-Sensory Maths Program
Students see, touch, and truly understand maths through our proven system.
Hands-on. Confidence-building. Backed by 25 years of proven results.
Why Students Love Brighter Maths
Start at the Right Level
Every learner begins at their exact point of need. Our free Placement Test determines exactly where to begin by identifying gaps and assessing current level of mastery.
See it. Build it. Understand it.
Maths finally makes sense when kids experience it. Our colour-coded blocks turn abstract numbers into something they can see, touch, and truly understand.
Simple for You. Powerful for Them.
No more guesswork. Every lesson is clearly laid out — what to say, what to show, and how to guide each concept to mastery.
Mastery That Lasts
We don’t rush or repeat for the sake of it. Your students progress only when they truly understand, building unshakable comprehension and confidence.

Clear, step-by-step masteryTestimonials
The training I have received through Maths Australia and the Total Maths Mastery package has been invaluable! I wish I had this knowledge from 20+ years ago when I did teacher training.
Christa Forsyth, Specialist Intervention Teacher
I have been using Maths Australia resources for 15 years. I will soon be starting my 6th child on it. In all my years of homeschooling this is the only curriculum that has stood the test of time.
Sally Farelly, Homeschooling Mum
I’ve just completed ‘Foundations of Maths’ Online Training Course. I’m so excited about teaching maths as a language and using your CRA manipulatives! Finally, a pedagogy is explained and demonstrated that is systematic and that teachers can make sense of in mathematics – thank you!!
R Parella, Leader in Numeracy
I have a year 7 son with dyslexia. Wow! What a program! My son flew through the workbooks and he no longer finger counts! Thankyou for providing such a fun and easy way for teaching maths! Thankyou for giving my son the confidence he needed to overcome his fear of maths.
Lisa Harper, Homeschooling Mum - Dyslexia
How Learning Comes To Life
Brighter Maths is a complete numeracy teaching system. Every level includes all the tools needed to teach and learn with confidence. We determine exactly where to begin by determining your student/s level of mastery, and identifying any gaps with our free Placement Test.
Included In Every Level:
1. Video Lesson
Every concept begins with a visual demonstration and explicit instruction. Short, guided videos include colour, movement, and real-world examples to build true understanding from the start.
2. Teaching Resources
Next, students make maths tangible. With hands-on manipulatives, they explore patterns, compare quantities, and literally build each concept. This step transforms abstract ideas into something real.
3. Workbook
Finally, students bridge the gap between hands-on and written work. Each page reinforces what they’ve seen and built, helping them apply knowledge with confidence and accuracy.
- Lesson-by-Lesson Teacher Videos
Clear, step-by-step demonstrations so you always know how to teach each concept correctly — no prior experience required. - Student Demonstration Videos
Short, visual lessons that help students see and understand maths before they ever pick up a pencil. - Curriculum-Aligned Lesson Guides
Structured, explicit instruction aligned with ACARA and incorporating research principles and best fit practise. - Integrated Teaching Resources (Manipulatives)
Hands-on, colour-coded blocks that make abstract maths tangible and memorable. - Student Workbook (Printable or Physical)
30+ lessons per level, with 6+ worksheets per lesson, including cumulative review and retrieval practice to build mastery that lasts.

Manipulatives
Make Maths Click
Research shows consistent, colour-coded manipulatives reduce cognitive load and accelerate confidence. Ours are high quality, durable and classroom tested.
Manipulatives are a crucial learning tool which help students understand maths in a concrete (hands on) way before translating this to the abstract 'squiggles' (letters and numbers on a page).
Integer Block Kit
The Integer Block Kit is the only teaching tool you'll need for teaching place value, addition, subtraction, time, multiplication & division of whole numbers.
Magnetic Block Kit
Educators use the Magnetic Block Kit for whiteboard demonstrations for classrooms and online instruction, or on the kitchen fridge for learning through play.
Advanced Kit
Used for teaching fractions, decimals, percents and algebra, this Advanced Kit is the only kit you'll need for extending beyond whole numbers with ease.
Program Levels At A Glance
Each Brighter Maths level builds on the one before it. Students move step-by-step through a clear sequence that ensures real understanding at every stage.
Students progress through each level sequentially (left to right above) to build on the foundational principles learnt in the previous levels.

How does our recommended program align with the Australian Curriculum?
We have full documentation on fulfilling the Australian Curriculum requirements with our program. We advocate for a mastery-based teaching approach vs the Australian Curriculum "spiral approach" because research (and experience) shows that kids are more successful with maths when they build on their knowledge in a cumulative sequential manner.
