I introduced Tables Trainer to our staff in the first training day of the year- Maths! They were very enthusiastic and many are already using it each day. The children in year 6 love exercises and it was hard work to stop them practising tables this morning. Thanks! A brilliant resource.

As an Educational therapist in private practice I work with elementary-aged students (ages 5 - 12) who are struggling with math. I have 15 students of varying ages with varying needs all around the area of math - when exploring your programs I found something(s) for everyone! The kids loved it and so did I. So often my students need intensive instruction, one-to-one and then lots and lots of practice. Your programs gave my students the opportunity to practice in a novel way.

After a successful trial in Year 6 to boost mental skills we're currently implementing a tracking system using BondBuilder and TableTrainer in the rest of the school. We're hoping to have a whole school drive to embed mental skills at an earlier age. During the Year 6 trial I had several parents who expressed an interest in the software. I personally know how effective it has been with our Year 6 at creating a 'want' to get better - to improve their times. We even get Y6 going in the ITroom at playtimes to work in it. Thanks again for a great product.

I still don't think you've realised that BB and TT[BondBuilder & TableTrainer] and MMC[Mental Maths Challenge] are your strongest products used in the proper way - with home access. I believe they can make a massive difference to maths teaching - if its done properly and coordinated as a whole school with parental involvement.

The best maths software... is capable of overturning all the old "I hate maths" prejudices. It does this not just with attractive, animated presentation, but by showing some killer features. It will show movement - so an angle, for example, is revealed as a measure of rotation. It will help personalisation by being tailored to individual needs and abilities. And perhaps most importantly, it'll be responsive to creative thinking: a child can change a number, or move a line, to see what the effect is on everything else. One product that looks as if it ticks these boxes is The Number Gym.

I used the NumberGym Plus [now rebranded NumberGym Geometry] Enlargement today with my Year 9 revision - a few lightbulb moments !!! The improvements with the ability to switch the guide lines on and off - and the ability to change the centre of enlargement and show how the shape changes position but not size - were really good. The boys liked the clear layout too. Good feedback when I used the software to demonstrate a reflection to a weak Yr 7 class - the fact that the image could be seen flipping across the mirror line was ace - lots of lightbulb moments after they'd struggled with the concept of counting - image and object distance to and from the mirror. So - thanks for that !!

I bought your Number Gym CD about three years ago and, having trialled the new software, was very impressed with the new additions. I have nothing but the highest praise for it as a resource. It's great and I do regularly recommend it to colleagues!! I would now very much like to purchase all four products...

Thanks so much, I really appreciate the limited language on the site. Great for SEN.
