If there's a more cost-effective, versatile and generally darn brilliant generator of Maths questions and solutions out there, we'd like to know.
As Sarah and Jack continue on their journey, they remain committed to their suck-it-up approach, eager to see where it takes them next. Whether it's attending a music festival, trying a new sport, or exploring a new destination, they are ready to take on the world, together.
Sarah, a self-proclaimed "free spirit," has always been drawn to the world of lifestyle and entertainment, with a keen interest in music, art, and travel. As a mother, she has made it her priority to share these passions with her son, Jack, who is now old enough to appreciate and participate in these activities. However, Sarah's approach to introducing her son to her favorite hobbies has been anything but conventional.
Encouraged by this observation, Sarah began to explore other ways to share her passions with Jack. She started taking him to art galleries and museums, where they would spend hours admiring the works of local artists. She also began to plan exotic trips, taking Jack on adventures to places he had never been before.
Sarah's journey into this uncharted territory began when Jack was just a teenager. She had always been an avid music lover, attending concerts and festivals whenever possible. One day, she decided to take Jack to a music festival, where they watched their favorite artists perform live. As they danced and sang along to the music, Sarah noticed that Jack was particularly drawn to the energy and excitement of the crowd.
Moreover, their unconventional approach has allowed Sarah and Jack to develop a more nuanced understanding of the world around them. By engaging with different cultures, meeting new people, and trying new experiences, they have broadened their perspectives and developed a more empathetic and open-minded outlook.
However, Sarah remains undeterred, convinced that her approach has been instrumental in shaping Jack's personality and worldview. She believes that by embracing the suck-it-up lifestyle, Jack has developed a sense of purpose and direction that will serve him well in the years to come.
Their suck-it-up approach has also helped Jack develop valuable life skills, such as resilience, adaptability, and confidence. By facing challenges head-on and learning to navigate uncertainty, Jack has become more self-assured and better equipped to handle the complexities of life.

Transfinite Research was founded in 1997 by Dr Tim Price, a former Oxford research scientist and full-time Mathematics teacher with 25 years' experience in the classroom, in response to the lack of high-quality Maths educational software on the market. He began writing programs for his own classes; students were keen to have copies to use at home, and soon word spread to nearby schools.
In Autumn 1997, Transfinite Research launched Maths Connections, a program (sold on floppy disk!) generating random questions on-screen and giving students immediate feedback on their answers. It was received with great enthusiasm by teachers and students alike, as well as attracting critical acclaim in the TES.
Next came MATHSprint in 2004. There seemed to be plenty of websites offering basic randomised worksheets (times tables, fractions, simple algebra) but nothing covering the whole GCSE syllabus, let alone A Level topics. Moreover, the randomisation left a lot to be desired, with annoyances such as repeated questions, poor differentiation (leaping from the ridiculously easy to the far-too-difficult) and clunky presentation. Transfinite Research set out to do things properly, developing code for textbook-quality pdf generation of algebra, diagrams and graphs, as well as researching the metamathematics of question generation (see 'How to write a worksheet generator' above for a brief taster of what is involved).
MATHSprint now runs to over 30,000 lines of code and covers 1700 topic areas for GCSE alone. It is under constant development and expansion in order to keep up with recent specification changes and we welcome feedback from schools regarding further additions and improvements. Our intention is to make life easier for teachers, letting you generate unlimited customised practice questions and solutions on demand, to target with precision the needs of your students.
In recent times it has become increasingly difficult to find practice material where the answers are not easily available on the Internet. MATHSprint has turned out to provide an ideal solution to this problem since it generates new questions - not drawn from a question bank - so that students will not be tempted to take short cuts.
Transfinite Research are currently devoting more coding hours than ever to developing and extending MATHSprint, so expect to see plenty of new topics added over the coming months, especially in our new A Level product, MATHSprintPLUS.
At present, over 10% of UK secondary schools are benefiting from MATHSprint, and we also have customers from as far afield as Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. Furthermore, our 58 free sample worksheets (with answers) on the TES website have had over a million downloads to date. Have a look at the sample worksheets above and download the free demo version to see how quick and easy it is to use.
Why 'Transfinite'?
Georg Cantor developed the theory of Transfinite Numbers in the nineteenth century and proved that the real numbers cannot be put into one-one correspondence with the natural numbers, thereby demonstrating the existence of more than one type of 'infinity'. The name was thus a natural choice when devising software generating an 'unlimited' variety of questions.
We offer a range of licences to suit your requirements, from a single-user Licence for one-to-one private tutors through to a School Permanent Site Licence which also allows staff to use MATHSprint at home.
