Maths Pathway is an online educational website based in Melbourne, used in Australian schools to teach mathematics.
It differs from traditional mathematics, as it is set up in a modular format, with students working on individual pieces of learning on a computer and worksheet.
Maths Pathway was created in 2015 by Richard Wilson and Justin Matthys, who were concerned about a student decline in mathematics skills.
[3] Maths Pathway has been criticised for the ease at which students can cheat, doable by simply clicking to check your answer or waiting a while after switching the format to PDF, leading to students not learning the modules that the software believes that they have learnt.
At the beginning of 2023, in an effort to stop cheating, Maths Pathway launched a large update, which added Entrance Tickets, to review maths before you learn it, Exit Tickets, to prove that you learnt the module, and added a timer requiring questions to be answered after 5 seconds, to "ensure" that the student writes down their working, however this does not work as well as thought, as the student can still skip through modules, just slower.
