A glowing endorsement

The BOOST series just received a glowing endorsement from the wonderful Associate Professor, Dr Kay Margetts, from the Faculty of Education at The University of Melbourne.
Student motivation begins with the rewards and incentives present in the classroom and in the home. BOOST provides a compelling strategy for actively engaging children and their parents in the learning process.

Thanks Kay!

How it works

BOOST is like no other workbook product on the market.

BOOST combines beautifully designed workbooks with innovative rewards software to motivate children to complete mathematics activities.
  • The activity does not finish on the printed page! The BOOST software has another 1-5 interactive activities based on the same activity from each page to extend a child's learning, developing mastery of concepts.
  • There are rewards! The correct answers on each page creates a Reward Code which unlocks reward time on cool games in the BOOST software.
With pages full of activities in each workbook and over 150+ interactive maths questions on each BOOST CD, children can pick their desired learning mode whilst parents can be assured that they are developing their maths skills in a fun and rewarding way.



BOOST Software

The integrated BOOST software sets this product apart from anything on the market.

BOOST Maths is the only educational product that comes with unique rewards software designed to motivate kids of today. The Reward Games are varied to appeal to all sorts of children and there are over 4,000 interactive maths questions across the series.

BOOST even allows parents to create and add their own ideas for rewards into the software and to set a correct answer target for earning the reward. Children can select the reward that their parent is offering (for example, a trip to the movies or a visit to the zoo) and answer our interactive BOOST maths questions in the software to earn the reward and print their reward certificate.

The combination of a BOOST workbook and CD means that BOOST provides double the questions of a traditional workbook, and double the value!

There are three books in each BOOST age level with over 140 pages of practice questions in print, and an extra 150+ interactive questions in the BOOST software for each of the three books at each age level.
