Most Helpful Reviews
April DeGennaro, PhD, Gifted Specialist: I have already recommended Numberella to colleagues and they LOVE it!Greg Newton, Leader: SAM learning has been an invaluable tool in our secondary school. We have whole school engagement of 92% of the school and 96% of Year 11 students have actively engaged with the tasks. Students have loved the tasks set and the challenges created. Teachers have enjoyed the time support but the automatic marking of work and the invaliuable QLA fucntion to help with both analysis and future planning.
I have found the support from the SAM team immense and have enjoyed leading on driving the use of the software in the school this academic year.
Greg Newton (Senior Leader at Tupton Hall School)Alison Harrold, Online platform lead/ Psychology & PE Teacher: To sign into the platform it only requires them to use their school email for their ID and Password. This is brilliant!! It is easy to reset if they accidently sign themselves out of the platform. This can be done by all staff who have access to the platform. They can access the platform anytime and anywhere – on a school computer, laptop or phone. It has adaptative A.I. that guides students to improve their score if they have not achieved 80%. It encourages students to get a higher score than their friends and climb the leader board as part of our schools house cup competition. They can choose from a range of activities to complete across major GCSE & KS3 subjects.gavin byford, deputy head: really like it both staff and students really like itCase Studies

Requirements
Numberella requires the administrator / teacher to take a bit of time to learn how it works. In general, maths teachers can handle it fairly easily, and kids pick it up quickly (we know this from multiple feeedbacks) but parents have sometimes struggled to get their heads round it. There are instructional videos to help the process. Numberella is easier to work with in small groups of kids. We have had it used by a form teacher across his whole class, with great success, but it took him a bit of time to work out the magic formula, which was 3 kids to a box. That kept them totally engaged. Another school actually invited parents to volunteer and help run the game (this was with younger year 3 kids). Parents were very happy to do this, and the club ran successfully for the academic year, and will repeat next year - so this could be a way of raising parent involvement with the school.The game itself requires nothing but a table. The online dimension requires tablets / devices for parents / kids to be able to follow progress outside of game time. The set up is easy.

Training
In general, users have been able to pick the game up from online videos and the instructions within the game. It probably takes 30 minutes to familiarise oneself via rule books and videos, and then a couple of trial games before an administrator is confident with the product. Ultimately, it depends if the user is a 'board game' person or not - those used to the format will pick it up more quickly than those who are not.
