Maths Mastery

Smarter GCSE maths practice — built on the Maths Mastery approach.

Inspired by Singapore-style teaching, Maths Mastery focuses on deep understanding, not memorisation.

Why students get stuck in GCSE maths

Misconceptions go unnoticed and become habits
Students move on before ideas are fully understood
Practice often repeats mistakes instead of fixing them

The Maths Mastery approach

Maths Mastery follows the principles used in high-performing education systems such as Singapore:

Concepts are learned in depth, not rushed
Understanding is secured before moving on
Gaps and misconceptions are identified early

How the Maths Mastery app helps

Diagnose misconceptions through carefully designed, exam-style questions
Repair understanding with targeted explanations, guided help, and step-by-step support
Build higher concepts once foundations are secure

This allows students to build confidence, accuracy, and genuine mathematical understanding.

Evidence behind the Maths Mastery approach

Maths Mastery is grounded in established educational research and teaching approaches used in high-performing education systems, including Singapore. The focus is on securing understanding, identifying misconceptions early, and building confidence before moving on.

“Teaching maths for mastery aims to support all pupils to achieve deep understanding of mathematical concepts before progressing.”

International assessments such as TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) consistently show Singapore at or near the top globally for mathematics performance. Mastery-based teaching is a core part of this success.

In England, organisations such as the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM) and the Department for Education support mastery approaches that prioritise deep conceptual understanding over speed or memorisation.

Coming soon

The Maths Mastery practice app is currently in development.

A focused demo module will showcase how misconceptions are identified and repaired in real time.
