Maths Matters is a suite of lessons designed to give teachers, tutors and students the best possible resources to teach secondary mathematics (from year 6/7 to year 12 or UK AS-Level), with additional material for mechanics and dynamics; from adding fractions to differentiating functions; from rotational symmetry to matrix transformations. And it is just as easy to deliver exactly the same lessons online as it is from the front of the classroom. For teachers and educators, Maths Matters can save time, providing ready to use materials built with the latest technology. Over 300 fully interactive lessons are included, covering all the key topics. Maths Matters also provides each student with a superb resource for learning and revising every topic, using the power of a computer to show exactly how to solve an enormous range of mathematics problems, step by step, using the values that they enter. A wide range of real life scenarios and examples can be depicted, making it easier for students to relate to how mathematics is applied in the real world.

The application is designed to help users review school knowledge and prepare for exams and certifications. Currently, it focuses on providing revision materials for GCSE subjects in the UK, specifically GCSE Maths and GCSE English Language. The app caters to both learners—primarily students—and their parents or carers. One of its key features is supporting parents and carers in helping children prepare effectively for exams. However, it can also be used independently by students for self-paced exam preparation. The app includes comprehensive learning materials, flashcards, and quizzes tailored to each subject. It employs an adaptive learning path that personalizes the experience for each user, making the revision process as effective as possible. This application is particularly effective when used in short, focused sessions—whether it’s a 10-15 minute study break during a bus ride or a quick 5-minute review while waiting for a friend. It’s designed to fit seamlessly into a student’s busy schedule, maximizing productivity with minimal time commitment.
