The Maths Factor - free trial
The Maths Factor has helped hundreds of thousands of Year 1 to Year 7 children boost their maths confidence whilst learning from home and continues to be a hugely popular resource.
New customers can take advantage of a 21-day free trial. We've even halved the price to only £4.99 per child per month to help as many children as possible.
During lockdown, we’re releasing FREE lessons for Year 1 to Year 7 pupils covering topics that they would have most likely studied this term.
Tackling Maths Anxiety
