Pi MATHS

                       
The Gioia House Pi Mathematics program was designed to ensure that every student is supported and extended in small ability groups across the grade. The program has a strong focus on number concepts and problem-solving strategies. 

Here is what students think of Pi Maths:

Being in the Pi Maths group helps us to be pushed out of our comfort zone to achieve our potential. We don’t learn what we already know. Also, we can work with like-minded peers.

Madison Taouk

also appreciate how teachers set up the lessons, starting with a warm-up and moving on to challenging tasks.

Kristina Pawley

I like how teachers explain the strategies explicitly and the opportunity to be extended by doing hard questions.

Isabel Jin

I’m getting quicker at solving division problems in my Pi Maths group. It’s nice to experience having different students in my smaller Pi group and another teacher.

Verona Di Santo

I love playing Maths games as part of our Pi group warm-ups, and my favourite is multiplication bingo.

Eden Gregory

Every time we revise a topic, I get better at it. It’s great to work with friends from other classes and help each other to figure out the questions.

Charlotte O’Brien

I like Pi Maths because I can experience other teaching styles. Also, an opportunity to work with people who aren’t in my class.

Stella D’Onofrio

I like that we get to work on topics and skills that we need and get help in a smaller group. I also like that I get to work with people I don’t know from other classes.

Summer Vuk-Jones

Having Pi Maths groups allows me to extend my understanding of mathematical concepts and provides the opportunity to work with other peers. I always look forward to the next Pi Maths session.

Lara Chemodakov

I love Pi Maths because you learn at your own level which is not too easy or hard. My Pi Maths teacher organises maths games which makes lessons fun.
