School Desktop Program Maths Software

Most schools in Australia provide students with access to desktop computers to support learning using information technology.  For these schools, mathsteacher.com.au currently offers the Interactive Maths Series (Second Edition) software for either an annual licence fee or a single payment under the following agreements:

The Interactive Maths Series (Second Edition) - School Desktop Program software (ISBN 1 876931 49 3) includes Year 7 to 10 Interactive Maths.  A site licence allows a school campus to install the four software on every single school Windows® and Mac® OS X desktop PC and teacher laptop computers.  Schools may ask for permission to extend this licence to "class sets" of laptop computers that the school owns providing students may never take these computers home with them and the laptop computers are not individually allocated to students.

Features of the School Desktop Program software:

• Scores can be saved to a central network location so student and class performance can be analysed.
• Teachers can generate worksheets, solution sheets, example sheets and view summarised scores with a few mouse clicks.
• The site licence provides extraordinary value for money by covering all Mac® and Windows® desktop computers owned now and in the future by a school campus as well as teacher laptop computers.

Flyers for the Interactive Maths Series are sent to the Head of Mathematics Department at secondary schools, are available at all state mathematics teachers' conferences that mathsteacher.com.au continually supports and through included advertising with mathematics journals.  If your school would like to order the software, please fill in the request a flyer form.

Annual Licence or Perpetual Licence

Annual Licence school customers receive 3 extra months use for free for their first Annual Licence.  A Perpetual Licence has no expiry date.

School Desktop Program Annual Licence + 100 Home Licences Option

This option is for schools wishing to license the Interactive Maths Series annually for desktop PCs but want some students to have access to the software at home.  For $995 inc. GST, the school receives:

• a series School Desktop Program Annual Licence;
• 10 Home Licence installation CDs that can be loaned to and returned by students; and
• an unallocated bank of 100 Home Licences that the school will allocate to certain students over time.  The effective average Home Licence cost is just $5 per student.  So parents save more than 90% off the Home Licence Internet download fee of $55 inc GST.

Unallocated Home Licences at the end of a school year are simply carried forward for allocation in a future school year.  To allocate Home Licences, the school sends mathsteacher.com.au a list of students' first names, surnames, year level and whether students have access to a Windows or Mac home computer.  mathsteacher.com.au prefers the list to be in an Excel spreadsheet.  mathsteacher.com.au will email a PDF file containing Home Licence registration details for each allocated Home Licence to the school for distribution to the appropriate students.
