The new maths diagnostic tool gives you a snapshot of children’s learning but in a stress-free environment. After completing the diagnostic, the adaptive learning engine works to ensure pupils are working at appropriate level, progressing them through the national curriculum for KS1-3.
#FREE SUMDOG GAME FREE#
Free accounts give access to 6 of the most popular learning games and a new diagnostic tool that helps to identify areas for catch up this term. It is free to join, with optional subscriptions unlocking additional functionality and extra games. It encourages regular practice, high accuracy and quick mental maths, using positive reinforcement to ensure pupils stay on task, learn more effectively, and are invested in their own success. A recent study found that using Sumdog for 30 minutes a week almost doubled children’s fluency progress. My own investigations confirm this to be case, so I am satisfied that it’s completely safe for pupils to use in school and at home.Sumdog is an online practice tool which uses game-based learning to build maths fluency. The most they could do, essentially, is answer maths questions together!” We do not allow free chat or anything of that nature, and there is no way for another user outside of the school to find out any further information about this student. Other users on the website will be able to see the student’s first name and last initial (we automatically abbreviate this), their avatar, and the name of their school.

Students can practise each through a range of games (e.g. The main focuses (foci?) are addition and multiplication tables, although there are also challenges for negative numbers, subtraction, division and grouping (e.g. It has a nice kids’-cartoon-meets-graffiti look and pupils can chart their progress with topics by whitewashing blocks on a spray-painted wall. The content is free and it is free to enlist your classes* and create competitions and challenges. Happily, I’ve found another website, this time with a specific numeracy focus (making it a little less challenging and subject-specific than MangaHigh, and so a happy complement) – Sumdog. I wrote earlier about how most online ‘maths’ games are very poor as games or even worse in terms of mathematical content.
