A recent study found that using Sumdog for 30 minutes a week, in-class or at home, almost doubled children's fluency progress.

Sumdog Maths

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.
Julie Miller, Head of Digital Learning: The product of Sumdog Maths is fantastic. I don't know any staff member or pupil who has a bad word to say about the online software. It is easily accessible from all devices. Staff and pupils love to compete alongside and against each other. They particularly enjoy competing in Council wide, Scottish and UK competitions where they can see progress and leaderboard development. The games used are age appropriate, self explanatory and easy to use. Above all this, the staff at Sumdog are fantastic and couldn't be more helpful! Offering training experiences, constant support via e-mail and phone, school visits to celebrate success - the list goes on. It has been an absolute pleasure working with the Sumdog Team and witnessing our staff and learners enjoying the Sumdog experience.
Elliot, Reading Specialist: Sumdog is fun, research based, and student approved. The data you are able to acquire is extremely valuable.
