Exactly what do I get with a Mathematics.com.au online subscription?
You get
unlimited access to the entire mathematics.com.au service. This means that the complete Year 7, Year 8, Year 9, Year 10, Year 11 AND Year 12 courses are available to you without restriction. Unlike other programs, we won't limit your access to the year you're currently studying and make you buy extra years if you need them. This makes mathematics.com.au great for the student who needs to brush up on fundamentals from previous years, or who wants to move ahead of the class by looking at what's coming up next.
I understand Mathematics.com.au has had great results. Why is it so much better than any other home study aid?
Most students say it’s the way that the lessons are taught – clear, snappy, easy to understand AND ENJOYABLE!
Will my children definitely improve?
From our experience with tens of thousands of students now since this software was first used over six years ago, we know that we can help almost every student. To maximise improvement, we strongly recommend students do 3 x 25 minute lessons each week, which includes the tutorials and worksheets. If this is done, they will improve their understanding of maths and achieve higher marks.
How quickly will a student start to improve?
Providing that the student follows the course and completes all the exercises and the worksheets in accordance with the Mathematics.com.au guidelines, you can expect to see significant improvement in understanding immediately and better results in exams within three months.
Can Mathematics.com.au be used in schools?
Yes, wherever there is an internet connection. Mathematics.com.au also has a CD-ROM version which has been developed so that it can be installed on a school network and used in a classroom environment as teaching support. If you are the Head of Maths at a school, please feel free to contact us to discuss pricing.
Is Mathematics.com.au suitable for students who are already doing well in maths?
Mathematics.com.au has been designed to allow every student to learn at their own pace, so it can help the less able and the more gifted students alike. Students who are naturally talented in maths can use the program to extend themselves and go ahead of the class.
Do students have to connect to the internet to use Mathematics.com.au?
Yes. It is an online service. It is possible after watching a tutorial and printing the worksheet, to log off and complete the worksheet using pen and paper methods offline. At a later time they can then log back in to enter their results for automatic marking and recording.
So do I need a broadband connection to use this service?
Not at all. The online lessons work very well over a dial-up connection too. To test your connection simply launch our demo with 32 free lessons and select any of the sample tutorials. You'll find that the lessons are ready to watch within seconds.
Is Mathematics.com.au compatible with Apple Macs as well?
Our online version is 100% compatible with Apple computers. All you need to run our program is an Internet connection and a modern web browser like Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera etc.
The CD-ROM version is currently compatible with Windows only.
How can we make this so affordable for you, especially compared to other programs that aren’t anywhere near as good?
We’re asked this all the time and the answers are simple.
- Because we don’t pay huge commissions to a sales team to go marching around at shopping centres and in to your home. Most of our customers have been referred by friends.
- Because we deliver a lot of our programs over the net, we cut down on expensive production, administration and handling costs.
- Because we made the program and own it – yes, that’s right - 100% Australian made.
- And finally, and this is the big one, because we want your kids to succeed in maths and we know from more than 20 years experience, that with our help – they WILL SUCCEED!
How do I know if Mathematics.com.au is the best option for my child?
The best way is to try it. And the good news is, you can try it at no financial risk. Because we offer our program to you on a monthly basis without any big upfront fees, we find people are confident to try the program knowing that they can unsubscribe at any time – no questions asked! You know you are buying from a company that relies on repeat business – so the program has to be good. If you’re not happy with our program, then why should you have to pay for it? Try finding another company confident enough to offer that sort of guarantee.
Does Mathematics.com.au intend to launch a product for primary school children?
Yes. At this stage, Mathematics.com.au covers high school maths years 7-12, but due to many requests from parents of primary school children, we are planning to release our new primary program in stages from July 2009.
