Paper learning, free progress tracking

The app now focuses on parent and tutor records for Foundation–Year 10. Use worksheets on paper, record dated learning against Maths, English or Science codes, add other activities, and print a summary with prompts for your learner’s jurisdiction.

Multiple learner profiles, optional session minutes, work-sample folder references and a built-in guide keep recording simple. Tutors can review a weekly email draft. This replaces the earlier student practice beta; public topic guides, worksheets, Practice and Tests remain on SkillrHub.

SkillrHub Year 1 Mathematics public beta is open

Historical release: this student practice beta has been replaced by the parent and tutor worksheet progress tracker announced above.

  • Starting deliberately with Year 1 Maths: the public beta currently exposes the Year 1 Mathematics catalogue while other years and subjects remain under development.
  • Australian Curriculum V9 learning journey: families can work through curriculum-organised teaching resources, modules, Practice and Tests.
  • Parent dashboard: after creating an account and a Year 1 learner profile, parents can follow mathematics progress, mastery, completed tests, questions answered and active learning time.
  • Login is required: this allows learning activity and test results to be saved to the correct learner profile.
  • Help us QA the beta: users may find questions, explanations or screens that still need polishing. If something looks wrong or confusing, please take a screenshot and report it to SkillrHub Learning, including the curriculum code or module, what you expected and what happened.
