Maths Buddy

This week is our last week on our free Maths Buddy trial.  It has been a great tool to use in our learning however I do understand that not everyone will be able to pay the extra money to sign up for the year.  Remember you can always sign up to Study Ladder for free and there are also many other websites that offer free maths games.  Here are a few:
