There are six mathbase CDs each with 2 to 12 individual programs that cover a range of related topics. The software was originally created to help secondary pupils with difficulties in mathematics but has since become popular as a primary and early years resource. MathBase1-6 is currently only available for windows systems either on standalone machines or server based.

MathBase1 deals with the representation of whole number up to 100 including: dice and domino patterns, counting and estimation, reading and spelling number words, tally marks, Roman numerals and place value. Two programs practise basic operations or 'number bonds' including multiplication and division.

MathBase2 develops whole number skills and mental calculation. Content includes: finding one more and one less, doubling and halving, squaring and square rooting, ordering, sequencing, rounding, missing number problems and simple equations, place value used in the context of simple calculation, and many exercises on mental addition and subtraction.

MathBase3 is concerned with two key skills: counting money and telling time. Topics include: counting money to £10, money amounts expressed in pence or pounds, estimation and equivalent amounts of money, time on analogue and digital clocks, time in figures and words, the 24-hour clock and use of am/pm notation.

MathBase4 introduces fractional number: naming fractions, mixed numbers and improper fractions, equivalent fractions, fractions as decimals and percentages, fractions of whole numbers, mental addition and subtraction of mixed numbers, and finally the four rules of fractions.

MathBase5 covers aspects of shape, space and measurement. The six programs involve: visual perception, transformations, simple shapes built from unit squares, areas and perimeters, squares and rectangles made from unit squares, the half square, and finally right-angled triangles.

MathBase6 again involves calculation with whole number. Basic topics are included but there is further emphasis on multiplication and division: prime numbers, integer division, and multiplication by powers of 10. Programs also deal with how different operations interact such as 'order of operations' and 'expanding brackets'.
