What is HOTmaths?

HOTmaths is more than just an online maths tutor or homework helper. It is a comprehensive mathematics learning system — an interactive online math learning and teaching resource for students, parents and teachers, for home, school or homeschooling (home-based learning).

HOTmaths is an ideal homework helper for secondary students in the transition from primary to high school when parents often have the need for a math tutor. It is also suitable for senior students who need to target a specific maths topic for revision

Mathematical Tools for Students

Students can use HOTmaths at school (as part of a whole class, group or individual learning activity), under parent supervision at home and independently wherever they have internet access.

The HOTmaths founders believe in encouraging students to take risks because this helps increase confidence and potential maths aptitude.

Students can work at their own pace and use the immediate HOTmaths feedback to monitor their progress and decide what to study next and how.

When used independently, HOTmaths enables students to revisit and review work not understood in class, to catch up on work missed at school or to work ahead. Students can use a range of interactive tools such as lesson notes, walkthrough problems, interactive animations and assessments.

Students can also compete with each other in Scorcher, a cutting-edge competition that reinforces basic mathematics skills.

Mathematical Tools for Teachers

Teachers enjoy the wealth of maths exercises and math activities for kids that can be printed and used in the classroom. They can project the interactive math animations onto whiteboards and electronic whiteboards to demonstrate maths concepts in class. The detailed student and class reporting system allows teachers to review, in real time, student maths performance.

Teachers find that HOTmaths can be used effectively in many different learning environments such as individual, small group or whole class and they can access this versatile maths tool using various technology such as a data projector and laptop in the classroom or whole class activities in the computer lab.

The numeracy support material supplied by HOTmaths helps during the transition from primary to high school as well as offering foundation support for senior high student maths revision programs.

The curriculum-based content of HOTmaths gives teachers interesting and inspiring teaching ideas and saves time in lesson research and preparation.

Through HOTmaths, teachers can access a wealth of tools and activities linked to lesson content, with varying levels of technology. Teachers can use HOTmaths for interactive whole class sessions on a whiteboard or smartboard as well as for individual exercises or group investigations, encouraging students to be self-directed learners when this is appropriate.

HOTmaths saves teachers time by marking student's answers as they go. Teachers can track their class and individual students' progress through progress reports, identify areas of weakness and plan teaching accordingly. The message system allows teachers to communicate directly with students and their parents.

Mathematical programs for Schools

HOTmaths enables maths teachers to make use of technology already available in the school for maths teaching and can be used by teachers at different stages in their careers. It offers professional development to those who are grappling with the ‘working mathematically' curriculum requirements and striving to keep up with the latest developments.

The HOTmaths program allows for seamless teaching, assessment and reporting which can be useful when there is more than one maths teacher sharing a class or when a casual teacher steps in to cover for an absent maths teacher.

The online teaching format means that schools can save money on printing/photocopying costs, textbooks, homework books, blackline masters and alternative software/online resources.
