September 2026
  • Smart study planner

    Silver members get a ranked “what to study today” list on the student dashboard — built from homework, practice exam gaps, watch progress, revision playlists, and upcoming SACs.

  • Practice SACs for teachers

    Download MaffsGuru practice SAC papers with worked solutions for classroom use — starting with Year 12 General Maths (Paper 1, Paper 2, and solutions). Available to verified teachers with Gold membership from the teacher dashboard.

  • Targeted Teaching for Years 7–10

    Assign pre-tests and post-tests by chapter, enter paper marks, and see a live Guttman chart of who got what. Spot skills the class still needs, track growth from pre to post, grant remediation or acceleration pathways, and export results — without sorting spreadsheets after a SAC.

  • Targeted tests on the student dashboard

    When your teacher assigns a pre-test or post-test, it appears on your dashboard — sit it online, then review released results and the skills to practise next.

  • Chapter tests for GM, Methods and Specialist

    VCAA-style chapter assessments with three distinct forms (A, B, C) per teaching chapter — General Maths U1&2 and U3&4, Mathematical Methods U1&2 and U3&4, and Specialist Mathematics U3&4. Easy-to-challenging mix for U1&2; medium-to-challenging for senior subjects. CAS-enabled papers with worked solutions. Included with Gold membership.

July 2026
  • Exit cards for teachers

    Quick end-of-lesson checks from class progress — start an exit card on any topic, students answer three MCQs on their dashboard before the bell, and you get a live results matrix showing who got it (green/red cells, Guttman sort, session history).

  • Major CAS upgrade for VCE maths

    MaffsGuru CAS now covers the skills you need across General Maths, Methods, and Specialist — General: `tvm()` finance solver, effective rates, histograms, boxplots, scatterplots, regression with residuals, list transforms, and time series. Methods: numerical solving, Newton and bisection, binomial and normal distributions, tangents and normals. Specialist: `dsolve`, Euler's method, complex polar form, and vector commands. Type `help stats`, `help methods`, or `help specialist` in the panel.

  • Worked solution videos in exam review

    After a practice exam, jump straight to Darren's worked solution for each question — video opens at the exact moment that part is explained, from your results screen or question feedback.

  • Revision playlists for Methods & General Maths U3&4

    Curated watch paths by topic and exam skill — work through Mathematical Methods Units 3 & 4 and General Mathematics Units 3 & 4 in a sensible order instead of hunting the course tree. Start a playlist from the hub or jump in from a course page; full paths unlock with Bronze membership.

  • Specialist Mathematics practice questions

    Lesson practice now includes Specialist Maths Units 3 & 4 — complex numbers, vectors, differential equations, and more — with MCQs, short-answer checks, and diagrams aligned to each video.

  • Methods Units 1 & 2 practice questions

    Full-course lesson practice for Mathematical Methods Units 1 & 2 — from quadratics and polynomials through probability, circular functions, and introductory calculus.

  • Methods worksheet banks

    The worksheet generator now includes Mathematical Methods Units 1–2 and 3–4 — browse textbook chapters, filter by topic and difficulty, and download question and solution PDFs for class.

  • Reassign a class to another teacher

    When timetables change or staff move on, school admins can transfer a teaching group to a different teacher — students stay in the class and homework moves with them.

  • Exam solution timecodes

    Link each exam question to the right moment in the solution video — bulk paste timecodes, see coverage gaps before students sit the paper, and export timecode lists for editing.

  • In Development roadmap

    See what we're exploring next and tell us what would help your class — classroom feedback shapes the order we build.

  • Built-in CAS for practice & exams

    Use MaffsGuru CAS while you work — open it from Paper 2 practice exams, General Maths Paper 1, or any CAS-tagged practice question. Graph, solve, run finance and statistics commands, and check your working without switching apps.

  • Worksheet generator

    Build custom practice sheets in minutes — browse questions by chapter and topic, add them to your worksheet, then download polished question and solution PDFs. Banks for General Maths and Mathematical Methods Units 1–4.

  • VCE ATAR estimator

    Plan your VCE pathway with published VTAC scaling data — enter predicted study scores to estimate your ATAR, or set a target and see indicative scores to aim for. See how each subject scales with a full breakdown of your primary four and bonuses.

  • Badges & achievements

    Earn badges as you study — watch lessons, tackle practice questions, sit exams, and build daily streaks. Track your progress on a study calendar and see which topics you've mastered.

  • Assign practice exams as homework

    Set a practice exam for your class with a due date — students sit it online and you get Guttman-style results to pinpoint where the whole class needs revision before the SAC.

  • Practice questions across VCE maths

    Lesson practice questions for General Maths Units 1–4, Mathematical Methods Units 1–4, and Specialist Mathematics Units 1–4 — thousands of MCQs, short-answer checks, CAS-enabled items, and diagrams aligned to each video.

Mid 2026
  • Practice questions on lesson pages

    Work through topic-aligned questions right on the lesson page — MCQs with distractor feedback, short-answer self-check, and diagrams where you need them.

  • Exam results & question feedback

    Finished a practice exam? Review every question with your answer, marks awarded, and the marking guide — plus a dashboard to track scores and spot exams that still need a second look.

  • Refreshed student dashboard

    A clearer home base for students — homework front and centre, overdue alerts, and one-click links to practice exams and your classes.

  • Redesigned practice exam experience

    Cleaner exam browser, cover pages, and results screens — easier to pick a paper, sit it under timed conditions, and see how you went at a glance.

  • Share lessons with classmates

    Found a great explanation? Share any lesson via link, WhatsApp, or your favourite app — straight from the lesson page.

    See at a glance which exam questions still need marking keys or solutions completed before students sit the paper.

    Hover over linked exam questions while watching a lesson to preview the question in a pop-up — great for connecting video explanations to real VCAA-style problems.

  • Class exam analytics

    Teachers can explore Guttman-style analysis for class exam results — spot which questions tripped everyone up before the next lesson.

  • Smarter exam import & editing

    Drag-and-drop PDF upload, improved answer parsing, and a cleaner editor for Paper 1 and Paper 2 — so practice exams land in the bank faster and more accurately.

Late 2025

    Sit a full timed paper or work one question at a time with instant feedback. Choose exam mode when you want exam conditions, or single-question mode when you want to learn from each answer.

  • Redesigned lesson experience

    Every video lesson now has chapter navigation, watch progress, lesson notes, and downloads in one place — so you spend less time hunting and more time understanding.

  • Comments on video lessons

    Stuck on a step? Ask a question directly on the lesson page. Darren and the team can reply so the whole class benefits from the answer.
