sorted byFor KS1 Maths lots of free resources here too for digital presentations etc: primarystarseducation.co.uk/free
I am sure in terms of learning, it will be very useful for kids/students.
Very useful to alot of ppl and free ensuring as many ppl who need them will benefit
Unfortunately I think they can only be viewed online and can’t be downloaded. If there is a way though definitely let me know
Exactly, and it's free so even better!
When I was at uni and accessed digital books, they had a 24/48 hour time stamp on before the file essentially expired/locked itself meaning I had to redownload it to access the book again.
Is there an option to download the books? I didb't see it
Thank you for that, much appreciated.
If you are a teacher, this link can be shared with students and parents within your organisation. However, please do not share the link more widely.
Ah well
KS3 -
Activate books are precursor for science aqa (poss others) so good for year 7 and 8 science (Use 1-3 or bio,chem phy not both as they cover a lot of the same things just organised differently thnk bio/chem/phys might be more linked with aqa but with small differences)
Geog1, geog2, geog 3 books are also precursor to gcse geography so good for year 7 and 8 (edited)
Because you can still view each text till the end of the month (or possibly longer if extended ) which is still an invaluable resource for some. Great post from the OP and personally for me has been very helpful.
Sorry I misunderstood.
I think they’ll be amazing for younger years but for the older ones less so. But still a great resource
They've also added:
The online books are copyright of OUP and downloading them is not permitted. They are only for online viewing.
Thanks for the link by the way. It is very useful.
any source for KS3
My son is year 6 last year of primary. I looked at book 6 (last one for primary) for english and maths and seemed appropriate. So I think they reflect years.
First year of secondary should be.
