Some useful resources but expensive

Hi Tracey, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We do understand that it can become expensive for individual teachers to buy lessons, so we try to help by offering memberships and frequent discount codes - subscribe to our newsletter to make sure you find out about them.
Great plans but need a PowerPoint
The plans are really great- clearly set out easy to follow.
The method of accessing the resources is slightly laborious and could be a little slicker.
It would be even better if there was a PowerPoint version of the slides (currently PDF) as we like to adapt and add things. It also means you can add animations which make it more child-friendly. That would take my review to a 5 if not more!

Hi Elizabeth, thank you for your comments. We use PDFs for our resources to ensure that everyone can access them, no matter what version of software they have. We have sent you an email with further details on some free PDF readers and editors - we hope this helps! If we can assist you any further, you can contact us at info@planbee.com

Now I’m a private tutor and have come back to plan bee - I adapt the sessions for one to one work quite easily . Makes my work load so much easier - my students enjoy their learning and I can keep a clear picture of their progress

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I apologise if there has been some confusion. You cannot check out as a guest - all customers need to create an account (which is free) so that they have an area from which to download their resources. You simply need to log in with the username and password you created during the checkout process to access your planning packs. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you need any help - we can see that you have an account with us so just let us know if you need the details.

Good as a guide
Expensive resources that are okay as a guide but need tweaking to suit purpose and curriculum objectives.

Maths lessons Aut term
I bought a series of Maths lessons for the first term.
I usually find that 5 days of resources can be used up in 4 days
but they are good value for the money I paid.
I have still to use them in class.
