Welcome to Bucknell Maths, a maths program that can really help your child to make progress and to grow in confidence.

The system was written by Mike Bucknell, a leading software developer. With five children of his own, Mike was well aware of the need for children to practise work they have covered in school in order to be confident and ready to progress to the next stage.

Below are some of the reasons why the team at Bucknell Maths feel you might find this software beneficial to your child:

• Your child's personal tutor, a qualified teacher, will set work appropriate to his/her needs. These may be to reinforce learning in order to gain confidence and achieve good levels in Key Stages 1 and 2, or prepare for entry to your child's next school.
• The tutor can be contacted by email or telephone should any problems arise or any issues need to be discussed. It is also possible to ask the tutor to set more work in any particular area with which the child may have had difficulty.
• The system contains an almost unlimited number of self-marking exercises covering the whole of School Years 1-6.
• The content closely follows the Primary Framework for Literacy and Mathematics which is currently being used by most schools in the UK.
• Bucknell Maths has been developed in the UK by teachers and maths experts. Much attention has been paid to ensure that the work excites and enthuses the children rather than just provide them with rote exercises.
• There is an incentives scheme which awards children with points and stars. This gives you, the parent, the opportunity to set a target number of stars or points for your child to achieve in say a term or half-term when a special reward might be given.
• Should your child not have covered the mathematics required to complete an exercise, he/she can press the 'Postpone' button to tackle the exercise at a later stage.
• This program is child friendly, offering the opportunity to personalise the system which children enjoy doing.

Just a glimpse into a few of the more than 2,500 exercises which can generate millions of questions, so each practice will be different.

The system costs £20 per month, paid by standing order (see below). For this you will be assigned a teacher as personal tutor and the use of a Bucknell Maths memory stick. You can cancel the standing order yourself at any time by contacting your bank.

The system is extremely easy to run. No installation is necessary, simply plug the memory stick into the USB port on any PC (Windows XP or Vista) and Bucknell Maths is ready to go.

No internet connection is needed to run Bucknell Maths. However work and results are sent back and forth when required via email.

Your tutor will help you get started and answer any questions.
