Review of Sumdog Maths
Mike Bramah
Y6 and Maths Lead teacher
Northmoor Academy, England
Used Sumdog Maths and Spelling weekly for 1-2 years
Jan 2022
The variety of games and the way they are integrated into the work set has seen excellent engagement from the children. The interface is extremely easy to use and accounts are managed/setup automatically. One flaw - that staff accounts cannot be managed manually so that temporary staff and teaching assistants can also be involved.
Reply from Sumdog Maths:Thanks for your review Mike, it's great to hear your staff and pupils are enjoying using Sumdog!
Mike Bramah found Sumdog Maths and Spelling:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“It cuts marking time, identifies misconceptions and facilitates discussion about these through question level analyses on each teacher-set task.”
- Moderately improves teaching efficiency“We have found it useful in the first instance to reinforce teaching, evaluate units of study and stretch higher attaining students. However, it could definitely be integrated in day-to-day teaching.”
- Slightly improves attainment“We are not in a position to prove this yet, although the diagnostic is extremely accurate and reliable in assessing where the children are working in the National Curriculum.”
- Moderately builds student knowledge
