How Can Easiteach Maths Help You?
 Captivating pupils and getting them actively involved with learning Maths. Even the most reticent pupils want to be involved!- Helping you explain Maths concepts much more easily, with all of the pictures, images and other resources you need.
- Saving you time by providing familiar, flexible Maths resources, such as number lines and grids, that you can drop on the screen in moments and reuse whenever required.
- Making managing resources in the lesson much easier as they are all in one place and pupils can easily see them and interact with them.
Easiteach Maths Toolbar
 Easiteach Maths will provide you with a whole-class teaching tool containing lots of familiar Maths resources (such as number lines, number grids, place-value cards and graphs) that will really help in delivering whole-class or group elements of Maths lessons.
The resources are flexible, so that you can create many different examples and address a wide range of numeracy objectives. All of the resources can be managed from one central location, dramatically cutting down preparation time at the start and during lessons. This means that you will be free to focus completely on the teaching and learning taking place. The resources available on the toolbar are:
 Function Machine
Choose the number and then choose the calculation to try. You can change the operator and operand to create a wide variety of calculations. The interactive function machine will enable you to extend activities and test students' ideas in a motivating and fun way!
 Number Lines
These can be custom-made in seconds, using whole numbers or decimals. Numbers can be moved around and taken off the line. You can create lines using negative numbers, or place fractions onto a line.
 Numbers, Algebra and Symbols
Individual characters can be dragged straight onto the page from this comprehensive bank of Maths symbols. They can also be placed one at a time into the preview area so that whole expressions can then be added to the page.
 Graphs
Instantly drag graph paper with common layouts and axes onto the screen, or you can create your own.
 Number Grids
These contain template grids - including the 0 to 99 grid and the 12x12 multiplication grid - plus make-your-own custom grids. Individual numbers can be dragged onto the page from the grid or cells can be coloured to highlight patterns.
 Fractions
A whole bank of pre-prepared fractions is at your disposal. Using the 'custom' function you can also create any fraction you wish and place it on the page.
 Compass and Multimedia Bank
An interactive compass is easily within your reach. Using the 'rotate' and 'zoom' functions any angle can be accurately measured by pupils and adults alike. The Easiteach software is also full of picture resources to help you deliver maths objectives in a real-life context, while capturing pupil's attention.
 Place Value Cards
These cards are large enough for the whole class to see. They range from 0.0001 to 9 million! They 'click' together so that larger numbers can be built up and moved around the page. Each constituent part can be coloured to highlight its value.
