What is Sparx Maths?
Sparx Maths Homework is an online learning platform that creates personalised maths homework for students aged 11-16.
We believe that practice makes perfect (and permanent!), so each week, your child's teacher selects the topics that have been taught recently in class and Sparx Maths builds a personalised set of questions to match your child's current level of understanding. Each homework will also include consolidation of topics covered earlier in the year and in previous years so that topics that haven’t been seen for a while aren’t forgotten, thereby strengthening long-term memory retention.
Our aim is for all children to strive for 100% completion of their homework, since it is set at just the right level for them. Each question has a short video tutorial to help your child if they are stuck.
Teachers receive powerful insights from Sparx Maths each week, identifying topics on which students required multiple attempts or needed more time. Sparx Maths then generates follow-up questions that teachers use in class to expose any lingering misconceptions and fill any gaps in understanding.
External research has found that using Sparx Maths leads to significantly better progress and improved grades. By consistently using Sparx Maths, your child can build a solid foundation in maths and achieve their full potential.
How does Sparx Maths make sure difficulty levels are correct?
Our aim is to provide personalised, challenging and attainable homework that every child can complete each week, using the support videos where necessary. We constantly monitor homework, so we can match your child's understanding.
By progressing through each homework on their own, with the support from you and their teacher when needed, your child will have the best opportunity to answer 100% of the questions correctly.
How can I help my child with their Sparx Maths Homework?
We believe your child can answer all of the questions correctly in their homework, but we know there may be times when they struggle, so how can you support your child with their homework?
Our top three tips for you and your child when using Sparx Maths...
- Encourage them to tackle it on their own
- Nudge them to use the support videos (teachers can see if they have used them!)
- Suggest that they start early to give plenty of time to seek help if they need it.
If your child requires further help, we have recently launched Sparx Maths support sessions which run at morning break in B1 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
