What is the difference between 'normal' mathsticks membership and mathsticks+ membership?
Firstly, we have designed a specialised mathsticks+ dashboard which gives immediate access to more resources in multiple formats. The resources are split into Year Group categories, but there will also be a specific mathsticks+ search facility, so all the additional files will always be at your fingertips. Files and resources such as:
- additional versions of our resources;
- editable 'word' (.doc and .docx) versions of our games;
- editable 'PowerPoint' and 'Spreadsheet' files.
- additional software packages;
- free access to a range of eBooks.
The list on the right-hand side of this page indicates what is currently available.
Will mathsticks+ membership be free?
No. Thousands of people have expressed delight at the quality of mathsticks resources - we cannot continue devoting time and energy to maintain our high standards without some form of return (see why). mathsticks+ will therefore be available as a subscription service. This is in line with many other quality resources producers on the internet. However, we have two small differences:
- you know the quality of mathsticks materials is high - it will remain so!
- the subscription cost will be low!
From January 2012 onwards, mathsticks+ membership subscription (for 12 months) is:
- £12 for new members,
- £10 (for current members renewing an existing membership).
Does this mean mathsticks will stop publishing free resources?
Certainly not. We are pleased that this website is held in such high regard throughout the teaching community - we will not be reducing the quantity or quality of our free resources - it is just that mathsticks+ members will get even more!
