Compare Mathletics vs Educake

20-minutes per week

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.

Teachers are required to complete a spreadsheet with teacher and student names and year groups, we take care of setting up the account. An administrative school password is generated along with individual passwords for teachers and students. Teachers and students can then simply sign in and get started. As Mathletics is an online resource, a computer suite or bank of tablets/learnpads and interactive whiteboard is required. We provide every school with a free live demonstration of Mathletics and can also discuss any objectives teachers may have. We also provide a number of online videos and webinar sessions for teachers to access.

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.

We recommend that teachers have a short, live demonstration of Mathletics to introduce them to the main elements of the program and also suggest how best to use Mathletics to suit their needs. This forms part of the trial process and provides a great way for teachers to communicate their objectives and let us show them how Mathletics can support them.

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.
