Sparx Maths

Bob.bob, Parent: TERRIBLE! She has been stuck here, on 1 question for 3 hours trying every answer, we've watched the video, googled it, I don't know what to do! SO disappointed! My child has cried 10+ times because of this!
Ccted, Parent: Don't often recommend apps etc but feel that the set up with the emails, parent portal, the bookwork checks and videos work well.
Parent, Self employed: Really unhappy with this ap and hope the school will reconsider it, my son is really good at math and enjoys his lessons, since the introduction of this app my son dreads maths and the automatic homework he’s spending hours frustrated trying to get it correct and the videos are no help at all please bring back hegarty maths, this app denotivates students and my son has gone from enjoying maths to dreading it. This is not how it should be.

Arc Maths

Amie Coley, Lead Practitioner: Questions are intelligently designed to check for understanding and address key misconceptions. The interface is great and my students loved being able to write their answers using the touch screen handwriting recognition technology.
Jess Smith, Teacher: User friendly interface, simple concept. Only limitation is that it doesn't show students how to do a question correctly (as far as I know) so requires teacher input if they don't understand a topic. Also not compatible on phones, so requires the whole class to have (and remember) their iPad
Emily Bennison, Parent: Very user friendly interface; quick and easy to use - 12 questions takes 10 minutes; the app remembers what the children have got wrong and generates new questions over time until they get it right; great use of handwriting software which even recognises my son's handwriting!
