Since introducing the Explicit Mathematics Program (EMP) at our school, we have seen a significant positive impact on both student engagement and achievement. From a teaching perspective, EMP has also significantly reduced teacher workload. The support provided by the EMP team has been exceptional.

EMP has given our whole school a shared language for maths. Every classroom, every year level, same routines, same vocabulary, same high expectations. That consistency has been huge for our students' confidence.

The time and knowledge that has gone into creating this masterpiece needs to be acknowledged. Our teachers do not ever want to leave our school because they fear they wouldn't be able to teach maths to the highest standard without EMP.

The systematic and structured EMP lessons makes it almost impossible for kids to slip through the cracks… This program is the best maths program I've taught in 18 years as a primary school teacher!

EMP has been a game-changer for maths instruction in our junior years. We're seeing students in Years 1 and 2 doing things our Year 4 students have often struggled with.

EMP has strengthened both our mathematics teaching, and our expectations of what students are capable of achieving… The sophistication of the program, grounded in cognitive load theory and the science of learning, gives us confidence that our students are building strong mathematical foundations.

…by Term 2, I was receiving positive feedback from teachers, learning assistants, and parents, all of whom could see the growth in students' mathematical understanding, confidence, and problem-solving skills. The level of structure, planning, and thought that has gone into the program is exceptional.

I love EMP because it is very engaging, my students absolutely love the structure, pace and timed fluency. The results I am getting are incredible, it has created confidence, especially with number fluency.

Our students love EMP because they enjoy the challenge of beating their fluency scores each day… This allows them to experience high levels of success and builds their confidence in their mathematical abilities.

EMP has ensured that we have a low variance approach to Mathematics across our school. It has provided our teachers with a consistent, structured program that not only supports effective teaching but also builds their own knowledge and understanding of how students learn Mathematics.

Since implementing the program, we have seen a measurable increase in the fluency and long-term retention of our Grade 3 students… Their confidence has soared as the cognitive load decreased, allowing them to have a go at more complex problem-solving with ease.

The clear scope and sequence has significantly reduced my planning time… The scripted lessons are easy to follow and take much of the guesswork out of both planning and delivering new concepts… Overall, EMP has made my maths teaching more manageable and consistent.
