Again it is based on the American education system and caters from pre Kindergarden to 8th Grade
Maths is Fun – again more free maths for KS1 & 2 would be my best guess for suitability (my son loves maths and has a natural talent so I was always trying to find new things to challenge him)
Paid options with free content
Twinkl – Free limited access or £9.99 per month (annual options available) What list would be complete without Twinkl? again this is an option that has been there since early on in our journey.

Games
Projects
Lapbook projects
Worksheets
Wall Displays
Lesson plans
Resource packs
I will admit probably a lot more asides and they are UK based!! they cover all Key stages too!

Education.com – Limited access free or 15$ a month or 99$ for annual membership
We have used these since 2009! back then you could buy a lifetime membership which we did. They were one of the only online resources at the time. They are again based on the American Educational system and run from pre kindergarden to grade 6.
It has a full range on offer from video’s, worksheets and lesson plans.
I am really not sure what the free account is able to do.
As a member we can:
Create child profiles.
Allocate work for them.
Save, download and print worksheets
Progress profile for the children.
Personally I do still find it useful to test the girls progress.
Paid services – unsure of free content
IXL – Annual cost we paid was £119 price may have changed. Our renewal for next month is still set for this price.
We have had a membership with these since February 2020. Therefore I am not sure
They do a little each day, as part of the less fun independent learning choices. Despite this it is on their daily goal list to do 3 English and 2 maths of their choice. Touch wood they never moan and do complete their goals.
Emily loves collecting the stickers. For me it is very helpful at ensuring you are covering all areas of English and Maths.
MathsFrame– £10 for online games or Worksheet only access £20 for access to both per student.
Again like it’s spelling city counter part it is a very cheap option and they have some free games available to have a play with. We haven’t gone for this one purely because of the amount of maths related possibilities out there for us finding decent English options are the biggest problem for us especially prior lockdown.
Elephant Maths this is paid for but offers a month free trial and to be honest it was ok for the months trial but the girls got bored very quickly.
