Access, curriculum, exam boards and student tools — then a dated subsection on the 2026 tester programme.

What is Maths Vault? About

Product and curriculum

Is Maths Vault free?

Student calculators, Keystones, the blog and several practice pages are free and need no account. Some teacher PDFs on the free hub ask for an email address. Teachers who register get a free tier with daily worksheet limits. Paid plans from £2.50 a month (standard pricing) raise worksheet and AI quotas. Unlimited teacher generation is not free.

Is Maths Vault aligned to White Rose Maths?

Maths Vault maps resources to White Rose’s published small steps for Years 7–11. It is independent of White Rose Education and is not a White Rose product. You do not need a White Rose subscription to use the public student tools.

Which exam boards does it cover?

Walkthroughs use UK classroom methods that appear on AQA, Edexcel and OCR GCSE Mathematics papers. Other UK boards may use the same methods. Maths Vault is not an awarding body and is not an official partner of any exam board.

Is it for KS3 or GCSE?

The main site is for Key Stage 3 and GCSE (Key Stage 4), Years 7–11. Primary Maths Vault is a separate public landing for Nursery–Year 6.

Is the working AI-generated?

Public student calculators are algorithmic: programmed methods, not a chatbot. Some signed-in teacher tools (including Flow, RanR, CRAFT and Career Paths) use AI and count towards a monthly quota.

Do I need an account?

Not for the students hub, public calculators, Keystones, the blog, or the Vault Viewer sample lesson. You need an account to generate, save and brand teacher resources, and to author Vault Viewer lessons.

What is Vault Viewer?

Vault Viewer is a web lesson presenter. Slides can embed live Maths Vault resources instead of static PowerPoint screenshots. A sample lesson is public; creating your own decks requires login. See the Vault Viewer explainer.

Is Maths Vault the same as THE MATHS VAULT LTD?

No. Maths Vault at mathsvault.uk is a UK secondary maths platform founded by Jon Glover. THE MATHS VAULT LTD (Companies House 15845934) is a different company and does not operate this site.

How is personal data handled?

Maths Vault processes personal data under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. The privacy policy explains what is collected, including account, usage and, where used, Vault Guide chat data. Contact admin@mathsvault.uk.

Tester programme (dated subsection)

Signup for new tester accounts closed after 30 June 2026. Existing testers had Ultimate-tier access until 23:59 UK time on 31 July 2026. New registrations now use the free teacher tier unless they choose a paid plan. The questions below are kept for people who joined in that window.

Do I really get everything for free?

Yes — Ultimate-tier features until 23:59 UK time on 31 July 2026. No credit card and no surprise charges. We want you to use it properly in real lessons.

What's the catch? Why free?

We're still polishing the product. Honest feedback from working teachers matters — and if the platform already earns its place in your week, paid plans from £2.50/month are there when you want them.

How much time commitment is required?

Whatever you want. Use it once or daily — both help. We ask for a brief feedback survey when you're ready (10–15 minutes) and bugs via our on-site form.

What happens after July 2026?

Your account stays open. Use the free tier within its limits, or upgrade to Basic (£2.50), Premium (£5.00), or Ultimate (£10.00) on Patreon. Testers who upgrade can get 20% off for the first 3 months.

Will I get to keep the resources I create?

Yes. Everything you download is yours to keep. Saved resources remain in your account if you stay signed up.

Is the platform stable enough for real classroom use?

Core features are classroom-ready. You might hit minor bugs — please report them. Many testers already use Maths Vault every week.

Can I invite colleagues to test too?

Please do — colleagues get the same terms if they register before 30 June 2026.

What kind of feedback are you looking for?

Bug reports, feature ideas, usability notes, or general thoughts. Honest feedback matters most — including what does not work yet.

Will my feedback actually be implemented?

We cannot promise every idea, but we read and consider all of it. Several live features started as tester suggestions.

Is there a limit on how many testers you'll accept?

No cap before 30 June 2026. After that, new sign-ups default to the free tier. Testers who joined in time keep Ultimate access until 31 July 2026.
