How to use CfE Maths Hub

A practical guide for pupils, families and teachers using CfE Maths Hub for Scottish curriculum-aligned maths practice, diagnostics, learning support and teacher resources.

Browse courses Teacher resources

Getting started

Choose Courses to browse Primary, National Qualification and Higher pathways, or use Find my level to start with a short check and sensible next steps.
Primary and supported routes follow Curriculum for Excellence levels and Experiences & Outcomes; senior routes follow Scottish National Qualification pathways.
Use the site view control to switch between pupil learning routes and teacher tools where your account allows it. Pupil accounts stay in the pupil learning view.
The main menu gives quick access to courses, support, teacher resources, account links and the course selector on smaller screens.

For pupils

Open a course, choose a topic and start practice when you are ready. Topic practice gives immediate marking where available, with feedback to help you correct mistakes.
Mixed revision brings skills together for retrieval practice and confidence-building. Retrying practice is encouraged, especially after feedback or a diagnostic recommendation.
Diagnostics and screeners can recommend next steps when access is provided through a teacher, class or school.

For teachers

Teacher Resources brings together printable worksheets, homework support, diagnostic starters, course planning, pupil preview routes and monitoring tools where available.
Use diagnostics to identify starting points and support needs, then direct pupils to appropriate topic practice, mixed revision or support settings.
Teacher tools are kept separate from pupil learning view so pupils are not shown teacher-only actions or subscription prompts.

Diagnostics and screeners

Readiness checks help identify strengths, gaps and practical next steps for course entry, revision planning or targeted practice.
The dyslexia and dyscalculia screeners are support indicators, not formal diagnoses. They are designed to highlight possible support needs and guide supportive follow-up.
Saved reports and recommendations are available on supported routes for accounts with the correct class, teacher or school access.

Learning Support

Light and dark mode are available across the site. Learning Support options can adjust visual presentation and reduce reading pressure for pupils who benefit from clearer layouts.
Support settings are designed for ASN-friendly practice, including pupils who benefit from visual support, reduced clutter, step-by-step structure and confidence-building feedback.
Dyslexia and dyscalculia support routes help teachers and families think about practical next steps alongside classroom evidence.

Homework and practice

Teachers can use homework generation, assignments and printable resources to set independent practice linked to course skills.
Where pupil practice is auto-marked, pupils receive instant feedback and can use retrying to build confidence.
Progress evidence is available where account and class features are enabled; printable tasks also include teacher-friendly answer support where provided.

Tracking and progress

Signed-in use can support progress tracking where enabled. Local progress also helps pupils see what they have practised on the device they are using.
Class-linked pupils can receive access to supported diagnostics and screeners through an active teacher class.
Teacher monitoring tools can show assignment completion, diagnostic summaries and class-linked progress where access is enabled, and are not part of the pupil learning view.

Privacy and safety

CfE Maths Hub is education-focused. There are no public pupil profiles, advertising profiles or social features.
Teachers only see pupil information through a safe class relationship where class tools are used.
Do not send personal pupil information by email. Use anonymised details when contacting CfE Maths Hub about support or mistakes.
