Review of MathsWatch
Sep 2024
Just all round provides exceptional value for money. Our students much prefer it to similar and far more expensive options and as such complete far more tasks. Students say that the videos are not irritating like a lot of them are on educational sites!
Reply from MathsWatch:Dear Iain, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. The quality of our carefully crafted videos is what makes MathsWatch stand apart. They offer students the support they need, when they need it. These are a great addition to students' classroom lessons and can be used in many different ways.
You mention the ease with which feedback can be provided to students through the platform and this is indeed a nice little feature. Finally, it is lovely to see that you are making the most of the statistics provided by the platform on students' usage. Great work!
Iain Eglinton found MathsWatch:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“Speed at which you are able to set work (which is always of a good quality) is excellent and the search facility does excatly what it says, without any fuss. Feedback is easy to both give and receive back.”
- Significantly reduces attainment gap“Students are happier to complete work outside of lessons on the platform and we have a higher completion rate than when we used other similar (and more expensive!) ones. The ability to do it on mobile devices ensures that students can do it rather than having to have laptops or other devices. The questions are ideal to use in interventions and can mean that sessions can be supervised by non-specialists, particularly later in the year when students finish other courses before the exams start. The quality of the videos ensures that students have good support out of the classroom.”
- Moderately provides school data“Reliable data on the amount of time that students are spending on work outside of the classroom. Being able to make detailed comparisons between student groups e.g. PP and non PP, Boys and Girls etc. by exporting the Mathswatch data”
- Significantly improves attainment“Students who completed all tasks set on MW outperformed those that did not by on average a grade at GCSE”
