PAR Version 16 software contains a new feature that displays results.
Tuition Centres wishing to upgrade from Version 15 need to contact PAR to obtain a Version 16 licence.
The basic PAR Algebra programme covers what is usually done by schools over 2 years. We have recently changed the Details shown at the end of the menu to display a First Year sequence of lessons, as often followed by schools. After the First Year programme the Second Year is also displayed.
We recently released Version 15 with a major new feature of auto-updating.
Those who already use V14 cannot just update to get Version 15. A new V15 licence is needed to enable Version 15 to operate. PAR users are welcome to upgrade to V15 any time they wish; it is not necessary to wait until a renewal time for a current licence.
Once Version 15 is installed it should be possible for all future renewals, upgrades & updates to be arranged remotely through our database and with no manual installations required, apart from those for new computers.
Tuition Centres using PAR resources will be pleased to know that we have recently added new lessons to Problems 2A, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Problems 2A, 2 and 3 are available as PDFs only until we do another update of the software.
Problems 4 and 5 were included in the most recent software update.
A while back Problems 6 was extended to 15 lessons to bring it in line with Problems 7 and 8 which were written with 15.
Also new is lesson 13B in Geometry – Using Pythagoras in 3-D situations.
We have just added a considerable amount of new material to the PAR software.
It is all available in PDF form also.

Version 14 has arrived. As soon as you turn it on you should see that it has a few new additions; right from the first menu.
To see what we’ve added for you to use in V14 – click on Features and then What’s New?
To see what’s showing on the first menu on the first screen – you’ll have to get Version 14.
We have done an update and one thing that is included is the ability to press F5 to get taken straight to Level 4 on Tables Workout.
Select which table you want first then press F5 and it will start when you press Enter.
To get this, you’ll need to do an update. Just use the Start menu update – no licence code required.

We are trying out a Beta version of PAR software Version 13 with students at a number of centres in the UK and New Zealand. Our new Early Reading programme (which contains loads of phonics work good for higher levels too) is available as a licence option in V13. Centres relicensing are using our Beta version until we officially roll out V13 very soon.
We are now using the contact@parmaths.co.nz e-mail address as shown on this website.
You won’t have any joy with the old par@woosh.co.nz one, sorry.
