Maths builds on four core operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

• Addition means putting numbers together to find a total.
• Subtraction removes one number from another to find the difference (9 − 4 = 5).
• Multiplication repeats addition quickly (4 × 3 = 12 means adding 4 three times).
• Division splits a number into equal parts or groups (12 ÷ 3 = 4).

Once you're confident with these basics, higher-level topics become much easier.

Master addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and you'll open doors to countless maths topics.

A private maths lesson in Portland generally runs about $35/h.

This rate can vary depending on several factors:

• The student's level (primary, secondary, VCE, university)
• The tutor's qualifications (teaching degree, maths degree, expert training)
• The lesson time and regularity (weekly, fortnightly, intensive blocks)
• The mode of lessons (online, at home, or at the tutor's place)

Opting for remote sessions can also be more budget-friendly while still providing excellent support.

The core lessons teach arithmetic, fractional thinking, decimal notation, percentages, shapes, and patterns.

• Arithmetic is the skill of calculating with integers using the four operations.
• Fractions represent parts of a whole, like ½ or ¾, and show division differently.
• Decimal notation uses a point to separate wholes from parts, making sums easier.
• A percentage expresses a fraction with 100 as the base, simplifying comparisons.
• Geometry basics include recognising shapes like triangles, circles, squares, and measuring angles.

Solid foundations in these areas make future topics feel manageable.

Think of these basics as your maths toolkit for understanding patterns.
