A recent study found that using Sumdog for 30 minutes a week, in-class or at home, almost doubled children's fluency progress.
Increased usage over time is linked to improved attainment above predicted grades.
Lucy, Year 6 Teacher / Maths Leader: My class love going on it, the competitions and the range of games.Jo, Deputy Headteacher: Easy to use, matches well to maths curriculum, pupil high interest levels, parental engagementPhillip, Class teacher: A really fun, engaging, game-based way to practise maths skills. Our children enjoy playing, and it's easy for teachers to set work and see results.Maggie Paule, Teacher / Coordinator: I gave the score 10/10 since GCSEpod has been our main source of lessons ever since. It is also updated every now and then that gives us recent topics for the subjects given.Adam Speight, Acting Assistant Headteacher: Having used many different e-learning platforms to date in my career, GCSEPod is by far the leader in terms of interface design and the processes they adopt in order to ensure quality assurance of the materials they provide to users.Richard Ward, Director of Science: Whilst GCSEPod has everything a teacher and a student needs, feedback from colleagues and students is that it is not the most user friendly interface compared to other platforms they use like Sparx.
The quality of the resources is exceptional and the new KS3 format is perfect for students to easily navigate but the original content is still a little cluttered. The most common request I receive from Pod Leads is the desire to find all Check and Challenge questions in one place or the ability to assign them. Disengaged students will not work through the modules and then find the tasks themselves. For engaged students however, GCSEPod is fantastic as they appreciate exactly what the platform provides creating their own revision playlists.
If the GCSE content could be assigned to flow like the KS3 content then I would award it 10 stars.
I'd also like to add that the team at GCSEPod are phenomenal. They take on board suggestions and provide support immediately. They assist with setting bespoke competitions for our academies and the platform runs without any glitches or issues.
Can be accessed in school or at home via a computer, smartphone or tablet or through a web browser and our free app.
