Special Home-School Primary Packs: ring 01273 782 786 now!!
This just has to be the best offer ever made to teachers!
Our Home-School Primary Pack contains Calculation CDs for all six year groups:
- MathSphere Calculations Year 1
- MathSphere Calculations Year 2
- MathSphere Calculations Year 3
- MathSphere Calculations Year 4
- MathSphere Calculations Year 5
- MathSphere Calculations Year 6
For just £240.00 it includes a school licence for all six of the Calculations CDs above, plus a free CD for every child in one year group of your choice to take home. The free CDs can be taken from any one year group.
The benefits are obvious as you will:
- see the good work carried out in your Maths lessons continued at home
- increase your pupils’ performance and confidence in Maths
- give parents a greater knowledge of the work being covered at school
- enhance your Home-School relationship
Schools have already taken advantage of this offer in a variety of ways:
- some have simply given the CDs to their children
- some have loaned them to their children with the aim of collecting them in at the end of the year for re-use the following year
- some have sold the CDs to parents for a nominal price (normally about £2 each) to offset the cost of purchasing the Home-School Primary Pack.
The MathSphere company has been producing software directly related to the Numeracy Strategy and then the Primary Framework. We are one of the country’s leading suppliers with our software currently being used in over 15,000 UK schools. Our software has been described by Schoolzone as an ‘indispensable resource’ as it gives the most comprehensive coverage of the Calculations section of the Primary Framework to be found anywhere. We are featured strongly on the Memory4Teachers campaign.
Last year we ran a special offer for the Calculations Year 6 CD and gave away over a million pounds worth of CDs. We believe that this is an even better offer to schools at a time when budgets are tight and spending has to be cut back.
Example
You are in a school with 64 children in each year group.
Purchase the Home-School Primary Pack for £240 and choose
- MathSphere Calculations Year 6 for your 64 children in Year 6.
Your Primary Pack will be sent to you plus 64 Year 6 CDs.
Note: If ordering online please ring Maryann on 01273 782 786 to confirm the number you have in the year group.
This offer is only available to UK schools.
