Children who are good at maths at the age of nine (third class) are more likely to be more confident going into secondary school. This is the finding of research (Growing Up in Ireland) from the ESRI. Having good maths skills in third class is a critical factor in helping with the transition to secondary level. One of the key findings was that students who disliked maths at primary level were also more likely to find maths difficult after the transition to second level. It is evident that fostering foundational skills in maths at primary level was crucial to a later positive engagement with the subject.

A common problem for school-going children is getting to grips with mathematics. If students start to feel they are falling behind it is not too long before this can turn into a snowballing problem that becomes maths anxiety.

FCL Galway is extending its Junior Certificate maths tuition with a new Thursday evening class, with limited places available. Students are tutored on an individual basis with initial and ongoing assessments. Problem areas are targeted and because students are tutored individually, they feel comfortable asking questions and are encouraged to highlight specific difficulties they may be having. Past exam questions are covered and students are given tailored homework to do each week.
