The Maths with Mathomat lesson plans can be downloaded free in PDF form from the links below. It's still worth considering the purchase of this book though. The printed and bound presentation of the lessons is not only more convenient to use in many situations, the book contains certain copyright images that we cannot make available in the free PDF version.
