It is the first purchase of the school year. It is the one main expense that we make, and I think that says it all. Allowing staff and students to engage in the learning and feedback, allowing for students to really benefit from this resource. I always say to parents that MathsWatch is like a tutor, but for free and incredibly flexible, as we cover the cost as the school. 20 minutes on a Saturday morning with three videos and a set of questions, or half an hour every night in the run up to an assessment, for example. Students improve their understanding with MathsWatch. Parents are always so appreciative of the resource, as are the students and so too the teachers. Keep up the great work and thank you.
Daniel Sykes found MathsWatch:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“The ability to set bespoke homework and classwork tasks, that are tailored to the needs of the students in each class. The self marking feature and accompanying videos increase student independence in their learning. The intervention function is also extremely beneficial to workload when supporting learners who are off school for a long period of time, as feedback can be provided remotely.”
- Significantly reduces attainment gap“There is a positive correlation in learners who engage with MathsWatch and then improve on their attainment. This provides students with confidence and they see for themselves the positive impact that MathsWatch has on their learning, so they then continue to use MathsWatch as they see the impact themselves.”
- Significantly provides school data“The features which allow you to know when students have completed their homework, last logged on, the time spent on each question, how many independent questions and videos they have engaged with, are all really useful. This data is invaluable for parents' evening and building resilience in learners to spend more time learning independently.”
- Significantly improves attainment“We can differentiate the tasks we make for the different sets of students we have. The higher end can be really stretched and challenged, while the middle and lower ends can still make progress in their Maths. Tailoring the learning to each group allows for attainment to improve.”
