"October 2011:
We wouldn't be without our Maths Mate programme as we believe it gives incredible added value to the overall Maths learning in the school. People often ask how, for such a small school, we get so many of our children to such excellent levels. We know that Maths Mate is definitely one of the reasons."

"Maths Mate: Students, teachers and parents are able to monitor the student's progress. Every student receives quick, personal feedback. Problems can be detected, progress monitored and adjustments made for individuals."

"I just want to say how much I love those books, how easy they are to use, and how relevant the stuff is. Plus, if some in the class finish early they just go on with the puzzle, and the students never complain about doing those books. I start every lesson with them and it's a great way to quickly settle the class into meaningful work."

"I have been using Maths Mate with the students of Western Heights for several years now. It has been the one thing that has made a difference to improved results. Simple and affordable, there wouldn't be a need for remediation if every student used Maths Mate as concepts are found and fixed before moving into another class"

"Thanks very much. We appreciate your prompt responses and great service! Our kids have used MM very productively over the last few years and we believe it has been a significant factor in our school's excellent record of high Maths achievement. Sue"

"I home school my children and it can be difficult finding NZ curriculum based subjects. I use Heads Up and Maths Mate and couldn't be without them. They are the first books my children reach for, they love them. Each page is printed, this makes it easy to work with. The tracking sheets give excellent guidance as to what I need to cover. They are just brilliant"

"A friend showed me what her son was using at his school. I couldn't believe how a wonderful maths exercise book exsisted and that our school wasn't using it. So I got it myself and I use it with my son every night as a wee homework exercise, and he loves it. I love that I can help my son and that I am doing the right things. Thank you for making a difference to my life"
