Workings
Coming soon

For schools

The diagnosis you never have time to do.

Every child in the room doing the same thing at the same time, and no two children getting the same questions. Workings differentiates without withdrawal groups or aides, and tells you not just who needs a hand with fractions, but why.

For everyone in the school

The right view for each adult who makes it work.

With no Workings coach in the room, the teacher and the Aboriginal Education Officer are the adults who make it work. Their views give them what they need, and nothing that turns into surveillance.

Teachers

Know what to teach on Monday

  • A class grid of every child’s working stage and mastery, strand by strand.
  • The misconceptions your class shows most, with the prerequisite a group is missing named for you.
  • Stall alerts with a suggested teaching move, bundled into one daily summary.
  • A quiet “needs a hand” flag in the lesson, on your screen only, never in front of the class.
  • Set a focus for a class or child. It can’t skip a prerequisite or lower the bar.

Aboriginal Education Officers

Your whole caseload, across classes and years

  • The same views as teachers, for every student on your caseload.
  • The same stall alerts, so you know where to go and what to say.
  • School-side tips that tailor a child’s questions, visible to their teachers.
  • Caseloads assigned by the school. Identity is never an access rule.

School leaders

Evidence you can put in front of a board

  • Mastery by strand and movement over time, against state and national reference points.
  • A student table for the whole school, filterable by class, stage, strand and status.
  • CSV export of derived data, never item-level answers.
  • Seats used and remaining, at a glance.

EAL/D and Aboriginal English speakers

Separate the reading problem from the maths problem.

A word problem tests two things at once. Workings measures them apart, on every question, so you can target the right one. And dialect is never counted against a child.

  • Five reading levels, from no reading to inference, with the maths held still.
  • A question stretches the maths or the reading, never both.
  • Read-aloud on every question, in Standard Australian English.
  • Comprehension is measured, never labelled. A child is never told they are a poor reader.

Cross-curriculum priority

Cultural perspectives inside the maths, not beside it.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures is a cross-curriculum priority in every subject, and in mathematics it’s genuinely hard to address well. In Workings it belongs in the context of real questions, marked like every other question. Cultural content goes in only once it has been co-designed with community and approved by Mark Miles, our Wiradjuri co-founder.

Co-designed with community

Culturally grounded contexts are co-designed with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander educators and communities, covering what each community chooses to share.

Approved before a child sees it

Every piece is signed off by Mark Miles before it’s used. That sign-off is a gate in the build.

Never generated

AI-written cultural content is prohibited. The model isn’t permitted near it.

Onboarding to offboarding

The admin is done for you.

Chasing consent and wrangling rosters is a tax on every new tool. Workings takes it on.

Rostering

Import students and teachers from CSV. Every row is validated and the changes shown before they apply. OneRoster import is on the roadmap.

Consent, handled

NSW public schools need explicit parental consent for most online tools. Workings sends the requests, reminders and plain-English notice, and records every decision.

Seats

A seat is taken when consent is recorded, not at import. Going over your count starts a conversation, never a locked-out child mid-term.

Year rollover

Promote enrolled stages in bulk and re-roster classes. A child’s learning record is untouched.

First sign-in PINs

Issue first sign-in PINs in bulk for a class or the whole school. They expire, and each child chooses their own PIN when they first sign in.

Leaving

When a child leaves, access ends that day. Your school can export its derived data first.

Data, privacy and safety

Built to pass procurement, and to deserve it.

  • Data stored in Australia, in Sydney.
  • School isolation enforced in the database with row-level security, proven by automated tests on every build.
  • A Safer Technologies 4 Schools (ST4S) assessment completed before the first school goes live.
  • Data about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children governed consistently with the Maiam nayri Wingara Indigenous Data Sovereignty principles, under agreements made with community partners.
  • We hold name, email, enrolled stage, class and learning records, never photos, location or voice.
  • The answer never reaches a child’s browser, and no child’s name, email or school is sent to an AI model.

Questions

What school leaders ask.

How is Workings priced for schools?

Schools buy seat licences per school year, and pricing is by enquiry: it depends on your sector and seat count. Email hello@workings.com.au and we’ll talk it through.

Does it replace our maths program?

No. Workings is practice and diagnosis, not a scope and sequence. It sits alongside your teaching: twenty minutes in which every child works at their own frontier, with no grouping and no withdrawal. And it tells you where each child actually is.

What can teachers see, and what can’t they?

Teachers see derived information for the students linked to them: mastery, benchmarks, stalls and misconceptions. They don’t see a log of every answer, and they can’t see students outside their classes or caseload. Access is enforced in the database and tested on every build.

Will Workings ever just tell my child the answer?

No. Not in any mode, not after any number of tries. When a child is stuck, the cast scaffolds: a question aimed at the mistake, a hint, help with the reading, or a smaller question from the skill underneath. The child always takes the last step.

If they walk away, the question closes without the answer and its maths comes back another day in a new form.

Which year levels and curriculum does it cover?

Kindergarten to Year 10, on the NSW and Australian Curriculum focus areas for those years, with every question approved by our curriculum lead. We’re starting with the years where number sense is built and where misconceptions most often take hold. A child isn’t capped at their school year: they can be ahead in one strand and consolidating in another.

Is there AI in Workings?

Yes, in narrow and checked roles. A language model drafts question wording ahead of time, into a bank that is checked by software and approved by a person before any child sees it. No model writes a question while your child waits.

Models also screen anything a child types for safety, and read a question aloud when a child presses the speaker. Some help is written live, about the question in front of your child only, and software checks every reply before they see it: never the answer, only the question’s own numbers. In a trial a parent switches on, a child can talk with Pip about the question in front of them, and nothing else.

The AI writes words. It never decides what the right answer is: every answer is computed by code, and the answer never even reaches your child’s browser. A child’s name, email and school are never sent to a model.
