Mathematics.

Mathematics with Beyond Play is designed to give homeschool students flexibility and support without the pressure of traditional classroom learning.

Students begin by learning new concepts through short, self-paced video lessons. These can be paused, rewatched, and revisited at any time, allowing students to move at a pace that works for them and spend extra time where they need it most.

Alongside the videos, students use IXL for targeted practice. This helps reinforce skills, build confidence, and identify areas where extra support may be needed.

Each week, students attend a 1-hour live online session (Wednesdays, 9-10am) for Years 7-10. These sessions focus on problem-solving, asking questions, and applying concepts. Not first-time teaching. Students learn together, get tutor guidance, and connect with peers in a supportive environment.

The curriculum is flexible and responsive. Each week, content is adapted based on the questions students ask and the areas they find challenging. Additional videos, examples, and practice are added as needed to support student learning.

The program runs year-round and is offered as a flexible monthly subscription. Families can join at any time and pause when needed. The cost is $25 per week, billed monthly. If are a family with multiple children joining us, let us know and we can provide you a sibling discount. :)

2. Start Learning

As soon as you start your membership, you will gain access to the content. We recommend working through the videos and some IXL activities before the first live session.

3. Weekly Sessions

10-minute Group Review
40-minute Math Focus

Students will have access to our community platform and direct messaging with tutors for any questions outside of class time.

Live Session Details

Math Curriculum

Students in this programme follow a comprehensive maths curriculum supported by self-paced video lessons and the IXL platform to build skill mastery and confidence. Each week, students participate in a 1-hour live online workshop led by an experienced tutor, focused on problem-solving, discussion, and applying concepts together. Learning is collaborative, encouraging peer-to-peer interaction while still allowing for individual support. To reinforce learning, students complete targeted practice each week, tailored to their needs and guided by both their progress and the questions that arise during sessions.

The primary goal is to build confidence - because with confidence, your child can learn anything.

Our program uses the IXL platform, which aligns with the New Zealand Curriculum (NZC) and covers key areas such as Number, Algebra, Geometry, Measurement, and Statistics.

Our program is designed to be flexible and responsive to each student's needs. We adapt weekly content based on student questions and challenges, providing additional resources and practice as needed. Tutors also offer individualized support during live sessions to address specific areas where students may struggle.

While our workshops aren't specifically designed for neurodiverse learners, we're committed to creating a safe and welcoming space for students of all backgrounds. Please let us know if your child is neurodiverse so we can better support their learning experience.

Instead of homework, students are required to watch the weekly video lessons and complete targeted practice on the IXL platform. This is designed to help students utilise the live workshops effectively and reinforce their learning.

Live sessions are designed for students to bring questions and engage in problem-solving together. If a session is missed, students can send through their questions to tutors via email or our community platform, and tutors will provide support and guidance to help them catch up.

We recommend enrolling your child in the year level that corresponds to their current age or grade. However, if they find the content too challenging, we suggest moving down a year level to build a stronger foundation. Please feel free to contact us for personalized advice on selecting the appropriate level for your child.

Our instructors have strong backgrounds in mathematics and highly experienced in tutoring. All our instructors come from a STEM background with industry experience. All of our instructors are police-checked.

Yes, live progress updates are available through the IXL platform, which tracks skill mastery and areas for improvement. Tutors can also provide feedback during live sessions and are available to discuss your child's progress as needed.

All activities are conducted using the IXL platform, our course platform, and Microsoft Teams, which is accessible from any internet-connected device. We do recommend students have a notepad/whiteboard/tablet in which they can work problems out on.

The goal is to build confidence, with confidence your child can learn anything.
