Compare HegartyMaths vs Educake

To see meaningful impact, we recommend students use Educake 2-3 times per week. Regular use helps check understanding of new topics and reinforces learning through retrieval practice. Short quizzes set during and after teaching support long-term memory, while weekly revision of past content strengthens recall through spaced learning. Over time, this consistent, low-stakes practice builds confidence and improves outcomes.

HegartyMaths is mobile responsive so it will scale to work on any device with a good quality internet connection and relatively up to date web browser. This means that it is compatible with desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobile phones.

For optimal performance, however, a tablet screen size or larger is preferable as often our questions involve detailed pictures which may be hard to see well on a phone screen size. We also recommend using Chrome as a web browser as this is generally most compatible with our platform.

We do not currently have an app version of HegartyMaths.

To use Educake you need access to the internet. For teachers desktop access is required. Students can use Educake on a mobile device, with or without our app. To log in, teachers need an email address and password. Students need a username and password. Google and Microsoft single sign-on means it's easy to get started. We have recently partnered with Wonde to improve single sign-on for schools.

If your application is successful, we will be in contact to arrange an online training session.

The training session must be attended by the Head of Maths at the school but the rest of the Maths department are welcome to attend as well. It will take 1 hour for the demonstration of HegartyMaths and we will also share the steps to a successful implementation.

Your school's account will be created and your trial will begin (these are usually around 4 weeks, but we do make exceptions if trials fall over holiday periods). Subscription costs will be discussed during the call.

We recommend booking a personalised demo so we can share how Educake can work best for your needs, and how it improves independent revision and knowledge recall.

Once you subscribe to Educake, we recommend booking in a departmental training session to understand the basics of Educake so you can hit the ground running. These are usually completed online but we can also come into school if you’re local to our Educake office.

After a few months of using Educake, we offer a Top Tips training session which uses teacher feedback to share best practice to make sure you’re fully utilising all the features which will benefit your department or school. As we’re continually adding new development to Educake, this is also a good opportunity to get teacher feedback to help us continue to add value to the platform.

We also have teachers videos ready to share in your CPD sessions at school plus we’re working on videos for parents and students now.

Set up is quick and easy. You can add your own classes or we’ll do it for you within an hour of receiving them. All data is imported directly to Educake to ensure it’s secure. You’ll get a shareable link for your colleagues to join you on Educake. With student single sign on, the days of your students forgetting their passwords are over. We’ll liaise with your IT department at school to get this set up for you.

Your department can be set up within 24 hours so you can create quizzes and set homework as soon as you’re ready to launch with your students.
