A recent study found that using Sumdog for 30 minutes a week, in-class or at home, almost doubled children's fluency progress.
Eilish Hanworth, Class Teacher: Just brilliant - children and teachers love it and the results are evident.Mark Stephenson, STEM Lead and Y3 Teacher: Such a great resource to use. Thousands of question sets at the click of a button that our children from Y1-Y6 love using.John Coombs, Teacher/ Maths Coordinator: The use of Learning by Questions has changed my teaching, changed the attitude towards learning of my pupils, has significantly helped to reduce the time I spend as a teacher planning and marking and most importantly has had a positive impact on the attainment of all the pupils that use it.Heather Mills, Teacher: Review of SumDog — Riverside Primary, Hullbridge (Year 5/6 Teacher)
We use SumDog regularly for maths at Riverside Primary, and it has become an excellent tool to support both teaching and learning. It links seamlessly with the White Rose Maths scheme, which means I can easily align the activities and assessments with our curriculum.
I begin each new unit with a baseline assessment on SumDog, which gives me clear insights into my pupils' starting points. This helps me plan my guided groups effectively and adapt lessons to meet the needs of my class. At the end of a unit, we retake the assessment, and the children genuinely enjoy seeing how much they’ve improved — it really boosts their confidence.
At home, SumDog’s game-based approach keeps pupils engaged. They love the competitive element, especially during contests and challenges, which has helped motivate even the more reluctant learners.
In class, I also use SumDog to set specific practice tasks for pupils who need extra support or reinforcement, making it a flexible resource for both intervention and enrichment.
Overall, SumDog is a valuable addition to our maths toolkit — it supports assessment, personalised learning, and pupil engagement both in school and at home.Rona Humphreys, Headteacher: THe support provided is excellent. The ability to set work and to set the number of questions ad the timeframe to do the work means that you are always able to have the children focusing on either consolidating recent learning. Being able to assess something that was taught previously, and then building in regular practice sessions of previously taught concepts helps the me to plan efficiently for each student and build in the necessary routines to ensure that the children's maths fluency is maintained.A Price, Teacher: The class engage with the fun factor of the games. The questions are at the level for even non-readers to access. The children look forward to their weekly Sumdog sessions and I can see from the data that my children are making good steps of progress. I like setting regular tasks for children to consolidate prior learning.
