Free alternative to My Maths

[witch]

Major cost cutting going on here - the school is not renewing their Twinkl subscription which has upset all the teachers as they use it all the time.

We also use My Maths and I have said I will see if there is a free alternative to this - if they can not renew this year, they may be able to afford Twinkl

Anyone got any ideas?

Not free, but we moved from Mathletics to Abacus a couple of years ago to save money. It was about 1/3 of the price.

Which Abacus are you using this https://support.activelearnprimary.co.uk/resources/abacus.html or this Abacus - Your toolkit for the new primary maths curriculum?

 

The Pearson has an odd pricing structure - the first year is much more - any ideas why?

The second one looks much more like the one we use; as well as the planning resources for teachers there are online games and activities for the pupils.

 

As for first year costs, I seem to remember that it included training. Our maths coordinator at the time just spent a day reviewing the resources and put together a guide for the other staff which she presented at a staff meeting. I think this brought the cost down to the same as a renewal. Always worth negotiating....
