OPTiMaths is an online tool that helps students achieve greater outcomes through purposeful activities which follow a clear learning progression.
OPTiMaths incorporates pedagogical strategies, settings and language that aligns with Professor Bob Wright's Learning Framework in Number.

Throughout each domain and each activity, tasks are developed to make them more complex eg from counting forwards to counting backwards, from adding a single 10 to adding multiple 10s, from adding within ten to adding by bridging 10, from division without a remainder to division with a remainder.

Settings such as the arithmetic rack, five and ten frames, bundling sticks, and arrays are used to support learning. Within activities, scaffolding is reduced from unscreened materials, to flashed materials to bare number tasks.
Once students are confidently counting on and back, OPTiMaths focuses on the use of grouping, or non-count-by-ones strategies to solve tasks. Colour is an important strategy used to support these more efficient strategies.
Each activity focuses on a specific learning intention.
OPTiMaths can be used as an assessment for, as or of learning to meet the needs of the individual school.
Feedback is provided to students at the question and activity level.
Students can also view their overall OPTiMaths profile through the MyData portal.

OPTiMaths has been rigorously trialled and tested in a variety of primary school settings. This feedback has allowed us to revise and refine the program to the bright, student and teacher friendly program using simple drag and drop and data entry features. OPTiMaths complements the Australian National Numeracy Learning Progression in Mathematics.

Teachers have access to supporting guides which provide extra information about prerequisite skills and specific language used in each activity.
Teachers have access to written screening assessments for NWN, CPV, A&S and MDC which are aligned to each learning intention and make assigning students to activities a breeze.
Students and teachers have their own password protected login. Data is stored securely on Australian based servers.
iPad, Chromebook and Laptop compatible.
Support is available for Maths leaders and teachers throughout the login, allocation and data analysis process.
Maths leaders can unpack each learning intention and associated activity with their teams of teachers to explore settings, progressive mathematisation and progression of learning and how this can be supportive of classroom pedagogy.
