I write this website because I enjoy doing so, as well as to bring online some of the work I have done within schools. I am currently unable to resume a full-time teaching position, so all my energies are dedicated to developing online resources and websites.
However, the idea that resources are free at the point of delivery does not mean that they are free to produce. It takes a lot of time and research to write every question and to help students in my online maths club of PMQ winners. I also have a young daughter to look after and teach.
So, in order to keep as much of Gifted Mathematics free as possible, please consider becoming either a Donor or a Sponsor. If I am able to generate enough public support, I will gladly remove the current third-party advertising.
I have looked into creating a Wishlist so that supporters may help us with something tangible, such as books and science kits, but living in Bangkok makes this impractical. Shipping to Thailand using either Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk is very expensive - a $10 book may cost $20 to ship - so that most of your donation ends up in the hands of the postal service. I am looking into local services, so this feature may appear in the future.
DONORS
With a one-time donation, you will be helping keep Gifted Mathematics online. Adding together many small donations really does make a difference.
Please remember that Paypal will automatically calculate the exchange rate for your default currency.
SUBSCRIBERS
With a small monthly subscription you will be helping Gifted Mathematics remain free for students. This is not just the website, but also the free online GM Maths Club for students who have won one of the PMQ competitions.
Benefits
= Your name will be added to the list of Individual Sponsors in our free Mini Practice Papers published each month.
= Access to our private community where free papers and tutorial materials will be published first.

SPONSORS
Sponsor a Prize Maths Quiz.
Every Friday we have a Prize Maths Quiz. These are our most popular pages and as a Sponsor you may have two adverts within the body of the post. These will last for as long as this website exists. You may also wish to donate your own prizes for that competition.
Please leave a message, including your contact email, in the comments box below - all comments are pre-moderated so it will not be made public. I will send you back further details.
Sponsor this website
Alternatively, you may sponsor the whole website with an advert along the right-hand column or in one of the positions currently occupied by third-party adverts. Your banner will last for 100 days, which makes it good value for medium term exposure.

Sponsor a Practice Paper
Now that this website is up and running, I will be publishing full Practice Papers based on the materials in national mathematics competitions as well as shorter Mini Practice Papers. The Mini Practice Papers will be available free to students and teachers and this includes full answers and some extension work.
Mini Practice Papers will be published as pdf files and you may have advertising inserted within the document. It takes a long time to produce these papers and their solutions, so your sponsorship will help keep these resources free to the public.
