Jessica

Class Teacher/Maths Lead

Bowmandale Primary School, England

Used DoodleLearning daily for 3-4 years

Dec 2023

Doodle is brilliant for the children, they love it and engage with it, you can see how they're getting on, parents can be involved, it covers all the curriculum, EYFS are catered for.

Jessica found DoodleLearning:
  • Significantly reduces teacher workload
    It gives children an independent, useful task to be doing whilst you can individually support other children. It's good to set for homework.
  • Significantly improves teaching efficiency
    It gives a good assessment guide for individual children, they are individual programmes so there's no need to set new work/move children on.
  • Slightly improves parent engagement
    Parents are involved in Doodle and can link their account so they can talk about Doodle and what the children are doing. They can see the expectations of the year's curriculum.
  • Significantly improves attainment
    Children have the chance to complete some prior learning on topics they haven't yet covered, they get to practise skills they need more time on as the programme responds to their individual learning needs.
  • Significantly builds student knowledge
    Pupils get the chance to work on topics before they are taught in class which can improve their knowledge as they already have a starting point so can deepen their knowledge/understanding. Lots of practise of the maths skills helps improve student knowledge.

It is good but I am also looking for a clear report that indicates a child's specific targets (those that are measurable within a specific period of time) and the child's progress in narrative form - an easy read report but with clear targets and progress. Thanks

Viv found DoodleLearning:
  • Slightly reduces teacher workload
    For me, I'd say it helps lessen the load of assigning home learning tasks.
  • Moderately improves teaching efficiency
    It helps children attain mastery of the topic as questions appear several times whenever they miss it.
  • Slightly improves parent engagement
    I can't tell whether parents are engaged yet.
  • Slightly improves attainment
    We have only just started using it this term so too early to gauge.

Elisa Pearlman

Homeroom Teacher

Anglican Inter­national School Jerusalem, Israel

Used DoodleLearning daily for 1-2 years

Nov 2023

I think Doodle is a powerful tool that is simple and easy to use. It creates a program that is different for every child depending on their own level and knowledge. It also has hints, explanations to give before a child puts it as a tricky question.

Elisa Pearlman found DoodleLearning:
  • Moderately reduces teacher workload
    We give less homework on paper and require them to doodle at least 5 times a week.
  • Moderately improves teaching efficiency
    I can set assignments to test the knowledge of what we have learnt in class that week.
  • Does not significantly improve parent engagement
    As I understand it, parents should not help the children with their doodle learning so that it is a true test on what the child knows. I encourage some of my students who struggle with keeping up with Doodle to show their parents when they are in the green zone!
  • Significantly improves attainment
    The program is designed for each individual and asks questions to the ability they are currently working on. It decreases and increases the level according to the child's answers.
  • Significantly builds student knowledge
    Doodle can ask a wide of questions that are either holes in a child's learning or on material that isn't being learnt currently in class. It also asks questions in a different way to test transference of knowledge.

Used DoodleLearning daily for 1-2 years

Nov 2023

I think it is an excellent resource. It is fun for the children and it has a positive impact on their Numeracy skills. I can only see positives in getting children doing extra Maths, willingly every day!

Claire found DoodleLearning:
  • Slightly reduces teacher workload
    There is some management of the app but as I coordinator I tend to do this. The assignments are great as they are ready to access and my P3 class loved them. They were use for see understanding of particualar areas of learning.
  • Slightly improves teaching efficiency
    It supports learning and provides different types of questions to challenge the children.
  • Moderately improves parent engagement
    Parents need to be involved and engaged with their child. I have a child on a 200 day streak because of great home support.

Special Support Assistant

We absolutely LOVE Doodle at our school- The children love it and so do the staff- It's a programme that most of our children access independently that plugs gaps in learning whilst they are having fun! Every school should use it!

Sam found DoodleLearning:
  • Significantly reduces teacher workload
    At our school, children complete a ' Ten Minute Task' when they arrive at school every day. Some of our children struggle to access this fully so, instead of the teachers setting more than one task (causes more work for them) it is an ideal opportunity for our children who have Doodle to get busy and access their learning and it sets them up for the day.
  • Significantly improves teaching efficiency
    We find Doodle fills those gaps in our children's learning so our children can keep up better with day to day lessons
  • Slightly improves parent engagement
    Children at our school only access Doodle in school - Parents are aware of the programme but generally do not see Doodle in action.
  • Significantly improves attainment
    Most definitely- It plugs those gaps!
  • Significantly builds student knowledge
    Plugs gaps, its fun and it asks questions in various ways increasing children's knowledge all the time

It has a had a very positive impact in our school. I have now bought a family package for my own children.

Louise Webb found DoodleLearning:
  • Slightly reduces teacher workload
    Able to set assignments linked to topics and see a snapshot of children's understanding in different areas.
  • Significantly improves teaching efficiency
    being able to access relevant maths activities suited to the ability of each child. Using it for homework.
  • Significantly improves parent engagement
    Parents have given us positive feedback regarding how their children enjoy the activities. They have seen improvement. They can see what level their children are working at in maths. Parents are encouraging their children to access Doodle Maths.
  • Slightly improves attainment
    I can see that the constant revisiting of maths concepts is helping higher understanding rather than leaving gaps between topics. It is a constant revision of things covered.
  • Significantly builds student knowledge
    The new learning is useful to introduce new topics at a level suited to each child. It may introduce new topics that they won't yet cover in school. Setting assignments is a good way of reinforcing topics covered during previous weeks.

Royal Grammar School Newcastle Upon Tyne, England

Used DoodleLearning daily for 5 years+

Nov 2023

It is a great platform that provides personalised learning for all. It significantly reduces teacher workload and provides assessment data that can inform teaching and targeted interventions quickly. in addition, the digital nature allows for less paper and promotes home school engagement.

Tom Lloyd found DoodleLearning:
  • Significantly reduces teacher workload
    We use doodle as a teaching platform to aid delivery of lessons, but it is also our whole school homework provision.
  • Significantly improves teaching efficiency
    The programs are individual to each learner and is therefore efficient in differentiating content and ensuring personalised learning for all students. The data and trackability of student outcomes also helps to create a fuller picture of each learner and can be easily used to provide targeted interventions as required.
  • Moderately improves parent engagement
    Parents are encouraged to link their accounts to their child's and this ensures that there is transparency between all stakeholders. This allows the parents to be informed on progress as well as giving them the opportunity to identify gaps they can also address at home.
  • Significantly improves attainment
    It is clear that children who regularly use the platform have greater security in their termly assessment as well as the more frequent quizzes that take place during term time.
  • Significantly builds student knowledge
    The students ability to retain information about all strands of the curriculum is improved, as the platform sends questions to students in a broad approach. This makes students better equipped to make links form their doodle experience to the teaching that takes place in the classroom. This retrieval element has been hugely beneficial to pupil progress and confidence.

Andy Ballance found DoodleLearning:
  • Moderately reduces teacher workload
    Very easy for homework that you know will be closely matched to the pupils specific areas of weakness in maths.
  • Moderately improves teaching efficiency
    Pupils' Doodle Age ( if they use the programme regularly) seems to be an accurate assessment of their maths ability. This information can easily be used to help identify who needs an in-person intervention.
  • Moderately improves parent engagement
    Parents are able to set up a parents account if they wish and can then monitor their child's progress.
  • Moderately improves attainment
    The 'Little and Often' approach helps pupils to revise mathematical concepts evenly throughout the year.
  • Moderately builds student knowledge
    The programme can help to ensure that gaps in prior learning are addressed. This then means they can access lessons for their age group more effectively.

Repton - Fry Campus, United Arab Emirates

Used DoodleLearning daily for 3-4 years

Nov 2023

I feel it is a really useful platform, though it can be a struggle to really engage students to use it enough to make an impact. There are a lot of complaints that it's 'boring' compared to some other earning platforms, and as a teacher, it is difficult to review recent questions answered by a student (unless part of a set assignment), or to see what they're currently working on and where they're going next. (The 'view understanding' section isn't nearly as insightful as I'd like it to be.

Ashley Edwards found DoodleLearning:
  • Does not significantly reduce teacher workload
    We can find it helpful to occasionally set assignments as extras for students
  • Moderately improves teaching efficiency
    We can use an assignment prior to teaching to signify students who are already achieving, and those who need support
  • Slightly improves parent engagement
    It can for a small number of our students, but it can be difficult to encourage parents to sign up to view their child's progress - perhaps too many additional steps.
  • Moderately improves attainment
    Again, I only find this with a minority of very engaged students who complete well over and above their target stars for each week.
  • Slightly builds student knowledge
    For students who are sufficiently engaged, yes.

It's been a great tool, filling an intervention gap for us as a school. We started with only a handful of lisences and continue to increase year on year because we've been so happy with the impact.

Christen found DoodleLearning:
  • Significantly reduces teacher workload
    We use doodlemaths as an intervention for our pupils who are not on track. There is no planning required and it can easily be run by LSAs and the progress and impact can be easily measured.
  • Significantly improves teaching efficiency
  • Does not significantly improve parent engagement
  • Moderately improves attainment
    We've had great success with those children who are doodling regularly at school and at home. Those children who doodle 5-7 days a week make great progress. We have one pupil in particular who struggles with attention and went from working below in Year 1 to scoring 32/35 on his Year 2 arithmetic paper last year. Doodlemaths helped to plug gaps, consolidated learning and challenged him appropriately.

Because nothing really ever gets a 10 from me!

Will Harrison found DoodleLearning:
  • Slightly reduces teacher workload
    It can provide instant, zero-planning activities for use during lessons. On the other hand, to use it properly the teacher does need to check into the teacher dashboard on a regular basis.
  • Moderately improves teaching efficiency
    See previous answer.
  • Moderately improves parent engagement
    Many of our parents appreciate the way DoodleMaths provides a daily maths activity alongside daily reading (that they were already doing). It also means they have a realistic understanding of their child's maths abilities before speaking to the teachers!
  • Slightly improves attainment
    We've never actually managed to prove this. It's tricky to prove because you can't tell which way the causality lies - are they improving at maths because they are doing more Doodles than another child, or are they doing more Doodles than another child because they are better at maths...
  • Moderately builds student knowledge
    Nice explanations of new topics.

For our regular users, this has transformed their progress and attainment, particularly for pupil groups which have been most affected by COVID.

Hannah Hill found DoodleLearning:
  • Significantly reduces teacher workload
    We set extras for homework for Maths. It takes seconds to find and set, and is quick to then gauge how well the children have understood a concept by using the traffic light colours to see how children scored.
  • Does not significantly improve teaching efficiency
    We use it to set homework, and occasionally use it in lessons for children to complete an assigned extra instead of completing a paper-based activity.
  • Moderately improves parent engagement
    It's helped our parents see where we are starting with their children, and how quickly they can progress if they work with the children at home and encourage them to log on little and often!
  • Significantly improves attainment
    When analysing data, we have found our learners who typically log on regularly make better progress and attainment than other pupils who use it less regularly.
  • Does not significantly build student knowledge
    The extras and new this week are good at reinforcing and learning new concepts, but we like that doodle also re-teaches and covers gaps it picks up in children's knowledge and understanding.

Doodle is a brilliant, effective and simple resource which engages children of all ages and abilities in maths!

Kimberley Sansom found DoodleLearning:
  • Slightly reduces teacher workload
    Used as a homework task so an easily targeted and adapted resource for all children.
  • Moderately improves teaching efficiency
    Doodle is more targeted and constantly adapts to the needs of the children, meaning that it is always reflecting the needs of each individual child.
  • Moderately improves parent engagement
    Many parents have given positive feedback on our use of Doodle for home learning. Parents also like the hint and explanation feature.
  • Moderately improves attainment
    Doodle enables children to rehearse and practise content covered both in class and inprevious years. It also exposes children to work we will soon move onto covering - meaning there is an element of pre-teach taking place.
  • Moderately builds student knowledge
    Children are more confident in tackling new learning as they have often seen it on Doodle before. Children also show more awareness when recapping prior learning due to their use of Doodle.
