Discover an online practice and assessment tool that uses games-based learning and ready-made, low-stakes assessments to accelerate progress.
Sumdog Maths uses a sophisticated engine to provide a personal learning experience at KS3, with questions that adapt to each students’ individual level.
1 | Identifies gaps for you
We recommend starting students with our diagnostic tool to give you a snapshot of their learning level.
Our easy-to-read stranded report then highlights where your students might need some extra support as well as their strengths, before setting them on their own personalised learning journey with questions tailored to their needs.
2 | Reduces maths anxiety
By setting questions at each students’ individual level, classmates can play alongside each other without feeling anxious about what level they’re working at.
You can feel confident in setting differentiated work for a mixed-ability class, whilst ensuring everyone is practicing their skills and consolidating their knowledge of key maths topics together, supporting a maths mastery approach.
Sumdog also runs termly contests for multi-academy trusts and at regional and national levels to encourage friendly competition between schools and classes. Our contests are a fun way to practice maths, have fun and boost student confidence and with everyone practicing at their own level, everyone has a fair chance of winning!
3 | Curriculum-aligned KS3 assessments
Our new Assessment Library provides a stress-free way for you to assess your students in the familiar Sumdog environment.
Supported by Nesta’s EdTech R&D programme, we’ve recently added 18 Age Related Expectation assessments covering Probability, Statistics, Ratio, Proportion and Change, and Geometry for Years 7, 8 and 9, and 4 assessments mapped to the NCETM Checkpoints.
Our new KS3 Progression Framework shows how our assessments align to the National Curriculum to build skills and demonstrate progress. You’re free to use them flexibly to assess your students at the start or end of a unit, to assess retrieval strength and understanding, and to help plan next steps.
4 | Automated reporting demonstrates progress
Each assessment is automatically marked to help save you time so you can focus on the insights. You can see results in real-time, see how students have performed on each question and where they might need further practice setting.
5 | Accessible anywhere, for all students
Our mission at Sumdog is to narrow the attainment gap for all children to help them reach their full potential. That’s why we offer a free subscription to Sumdog Maths which gives access to six games, a stranded report to identify gaps with adaptive questions tailored to each student’s level.
Compatible with laptops, tablets and mobiles, students can enjoy their Sumdog maths practice in-class or at home, via our website or through our app.
