What does it cost?
Public single user licenses vary from $19.95 to 69.50 and can be used by any member of the immediate family.
School site licenses vary from $195.00 to $544.50 depending on the year mix.
How come it's so cheap?
We have a quality affordable
product that sells itself. We provide a free download and evaluation version
for anyone to try before they consider purchasing. We are that sure you will
be impressed.
We don't have sales people,
in-home demonstrators, tutors sitting behind helpdesks or expensive
marketing campaigns. We also don't have the overheads that go with these. We
work on volume sales of quality products by referral rather than sales
pressure.
The same type of software is
sold by competitors for hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars but
little of that is offset against the software itself.
What is the difference between the products?
School editions are based on
over 330 activities
(Young Einstein Mathematics)
Single user editions are based on over 250 activities
(Young Einstein Mathematics)
'Helper Series' each title has 15
maths activities and 5 game activities
What /
Who is Maths Practice?
Maths Practice P/L is an
educational software development company specialising in developing curriculum based maths
software for years 1 to 6. It is founded by a combination or parents and
teachers.
Our initial maths software
products were simply titled 'Maths Practice' and were distributed under this
name for several years. In 2005 a replacement product was launched titled
'Young Einstein Mathematics'.
Maths Practice does not provide direct teaching or tutoring
services. However our software is used under license by other third parties
for this purpose.
What do we provide?
We supply software direct to schools and the public. We provide
free product support and free upgrades for our software. All activities have inbuilt
theory, help and instructions that contain the background theory on the topic.
All documentation can be edited and changed to suite specific needs or
preferences.
We provide all the year levels
bundled into the one package.
We also provide free
homework sheets on our website that anyone can use.
We
provide free ongoing updates to our software, and allow free upgrades to all
users ensuring that you will never have outdated or obsolete software.
What don't
we provide?
We do not provide tutoring services or phone help. This should be
the role of the teachers.
We also don't provide 'door to door' sales people,
in-home demonstrations or exorbitant prices on our products.
(Demonstrations can be freely downloaded from the web and tried at your own
leisure)
With single user licenses we do not
charge separately for each year level. They are all included in the one low
price.
What is Young Einstein Mathematics?
'Young Einstein Mathematics' is
our
latest maths software product which now replaces the generic 'Maths Practice' titles.
Version 3 contains over 330 activities and has significantly expanded the
usage of audio to assist the user and those that might have trouble reading
questions.
All software products have extensive documentation, tutorial
examples, subject theory and dynamically generated problems to solve.
Is this another computer game?
Simply - No. Computer games can be
very distractive, and most have limited educational value. This software
encourages active practice in mathematics, through structured activities based
on the current curriculum. There are however 8 independent strategy game activities
that we have included in the 330 activities.

Where are our products used?
Our products are used extensively in schools throughout
Australia. They are used predominantly in primary schools, however some
secondary schools (and parents) also use the software to refine their basic skills
from the primary years.
The software is also used in schools in NZ, UK and USA and by
some reputable tutoring services.
In addition to this there is a
large parent user base. Parents
are using this software as a valued added component and a practical way to
gets their kids to practice maths outside of school hours.
Can more than 1 person use the software?
Yes. The software keeps track of
individual users. In the case of single user licenses, any member of the
immediate family can use the software. For schools and commercial users, a site
license must be purchased for multiple users.
Is it right for my child?
More than likely if your child is in
primary school or early secondary school, they can benefit from the activities.
The simplest way to find out is to download the free trial software and try it
for yourself.
What if the curriculum changes?
Our software is constantly being
refined. All licensed users can obtain upgrades free of charge at any time to ensure they
remain current and benefit from any product upgrades that have occurred.
We make additions to our
software several times a year to make sure it is current and to also add
additional functionality as it is being
developed.
You will never get stuck with
outdated or obsolete software !!
Is this suitable for different age
groups?
Yes. The software is divided into
year levels so anyone can use it.
What if I don't know the answers?
There are several features to
assist the user who gets stuck.
There is inbuilt help and
instructions for all activities. Depending on the activity, this may contain up
to several pages of relevant theory as well.
The user is given several
opportunities to provide the correct answer, and if they still cannot get it
correct the computer will provide the correct answer (and working out if
applicable) for you.
Do you need to be on the internet
to use the software?
No. Our software runs on your
local PC and does not need to be connected to the internet.
