What is RM Easimaths?
RM Easimaths is online maths tuition for 5 to 11 year olds for use at school and home. It is designed to
help students improve their maths skills and capabilities, and is based on the proven and popular RM
Maths software. RM Easimaths combines engaging activities with a personal learning programme for
each learner and detailed progress reports for teachers.
RM Easimaths has more than 3,000 interactive activities supporting a ‘little and often’ approach, ideally
with pupils using RM Easimaths for 10-15 minutes per day, between three and five times a week.
RM Easimaths has its own built-in diagnostics that run continuously in the background, capturing critical
data on individual performance. This data in turn determines which exercises and materials are selected
– the pupil progresses to new and more difficult activities as they succeed, but if they get an activity
wrong, they temporarily regress to a related but simpler skill in the same topic, before returning to try
the same skill again later.
There are nine topic areas which pupils progress through, but they are prevented from getting too far
ahead in any one topic, ensuring that prerequisite skills in other topics have been tackled first. Existing
maths skills are kept ‘simmering’ in the background while pupils move onto new maths concepts,
keeping existing skills alive with continuous practice.
The automatic collection of data on pupil progress also enables meaningful, objective reporting to
provide teachers with all the information and data they need for targeted planning to support specific
learning interventions. Difficulties can be identified and addressed at individual, group and whole-class
level.
A cast of fun characters appear throughout the activities to help the pupils identify with the problems to
be solved and maintain their interest.
