Or try Octave which is free and open-source but best supported on Linux - runs fine with Debian Wheezy on a Raspberry Pi board which sets you back £25 in`UK money.

The Student Version of MATLAB is restricted to students enrolled at in degree program (or in K-13). The license is not available to those who are taking courses without being registered as students. The Professional license would be the appropriate license in such a case.

10. HIGH SCHOOL/PREUNIVERSITY USE. Teachers and students at preuniversity secondary education schools may license the Student Version. Teachers may also allow their students to use the Student Version License on the teacher's computer or school-owned computers.
In Canada, K-6 are usually called "elementary", and 7-8 are usually called "senior elementary", and 9-13 are usually called "secondary", but with some variation on this in Quebec. And in some places here, K-8 are all the same school, and in others 7-13 are the same school. Mathworks would, I speculate, be flexible if a teacher in a lower grade wanted to make MATLAB part of the course. But don't expect to be able to argue that you should be entitled to Student Version prices at home in order to homeschool your 3 year old ;-)

I noticed that there is a LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT submission in the FEX. Grade schoolers as young as 1st and 2nd grade are learning to program these (I know there are kids in my neighborhood elementary school doing this), so maybe it isn't out of the question to ask TMW if they would allow student versions of MATLAB for grade schoolers.
