How does Maths on Track Work?

Schools and parents purchase a number of credits and are given a password allowing them to use the credits to download videos, practice and answer sheets (if required) and one hour's access to the online version of the Wee Red Box.

More than one person at a school can use the same password and videos can be downloaded on to the schools server for all staff to access. The videos can be retained for later use. All are ideal for using with an Interactive Whiteboard. Additional credits can be purchased as and when they are required.
