Most
of us would like to be able to spend more time with our children, supporting
the work they are doing in school, but somehow there never seem to be enough
hours in the day and the materials that are available are never quite right
for our child. This is how Mike Bucknell felt when he created Bucknell Maths.
As a leading software developer and a father of five, he felt frustrated by
the lack of quality product on the market and so with a team of experts -
teachers, educational consultants and parents - he set up Bucknell Maths.
What he created was a unique piece of software that is fast, simple to use,
entirely consistent with the Primary Framework for Mathematics and tailor-made
to improve mathematical ability.

Maths takes all the hassle out of practising maths skills at home by providing
a system which children can use completely independently and with minimum
input from you. It sets daily exercises at exactly the right level for your
child personally, marks them instantaneously and provides feedback and rewards
to keep you child motivated and on task.
What's
more, every child is allocated a qualified teacher as personal tutor who works
with you and your child to help iron out any problems - setting work and keeping
a close eye on efforts and results. All you need to do as a parent is to sit
back and simply remind your child 'Have you done your Bucknell Maths?' (With
the younger children you will probably have to help them get started on each
exercise).
