" We’ve really seen an improvement in the children’s Numeracy skills and I’m sure that Mathbase plays a key part. The differing levels of ability mean that children can work at their own pace and the clear layout means that they can concentrate on the activity."

Software Supporting Numeracy
Mathbase was created in 2001 for pupils with Special Educational Needs at Horizon School in Hackney and is now use in more than 2000 schools across the UK. It is especially useful for pupils with under achievement in maths that need a boost. It also enables pupils to work more independently with less adult support. Despite this, its main use is in Key Stages 1 & 2 with pupils of all abilities.
Mathbase is a tool for making routine practise more fun and more efficient, achieving more in less time, with less photocopying, marking, and with greater independence on the part of the learner. It can significantly increase achievement in basic maths while also allowing more time for practical and whole class teaching.
The straight forward layout of Mathbase works well for learners of any age and can also support numeracy within the family setting. Adults at home will have little problem engaging with children using Mathbase.
