This personalised practice is crucial in keeping students interested as it feeds their confidence and they can see themselves making real progress and improving. Furthermore, students can pitch their mathematical wits against a robot, their classmates or uers from other countries. They also keep students engaged because they are tailored to their ability level and so the questions adapt to ensure an appropriate level of challenge is set. Sumdog is cleverly constructed so that learning is reinforced by alternating and revisiting topics so that fluency is strengthened.īut students won’t repeat an experience if it isn’t enjoyable and this is where Sumdog excel by providing highly motivating games they keep wanting to play. With regular use, research has shown Sumdog to have high impact so it doesn’t just bark, it has real bite too. The idea behind Sumdog is to accelerate pupils’ maths growth, quickly develop fluency and build their confidence. There has been a steady positive research stream referring to the high potential of games as an educational instrument in maths education. Blend whole-class, individual, and small group work.Easily differentiate practice for groups or individuals.Adaptive questions, tailored to individual levels with auto-marking.Complete curriculum coverage for KS3 including Progression Framework.Fun interactive maths games that children can’t wait to play.(They even love playing with their teacher, moi.) They also shout, as they shut down their laptops, 'I'm gonna be on at 7:00. " Then the "awws" and "woo-hoos" when they see who they're playing against.
In class, this usually results in shouting, "Okay, I'm playing Junk Pile! Who's gonna play with me? Okay, press start in 3, 2, 1. One night while I was playing (get off my back, man) I ran through about 10 consecutive games with one of my students who just happened to be playing the same time I was. However, you can also set it to play with classmates, which means you can play with your friends online. (What? I'm a busy teacher! The only time I have to play is late at night!) If no one else is playing that game it will set you up versus the computer (which you can also set it to do yourself, if you're not the competitive type). It's really cool to start to see students from Australia and England as you play into the wee hours of the night and those kids start to wake up.
Each games has up to 4 players, and by default it will connect you with 3 other random players on the site. Even I have found myself playing for hours (I had to research it before I let my kids play, right?) trying to get just the right ensemble for my avatar.īy far, the most engaging aspect is competing with kids from around the world in the games.
The coins help them 'level up' to another animal, and they can use them to buy accessories for their avatars. It also features a nice avatar system where students earn coins for each correct answer. I love being able to pick exactly which skills each kid needs to work on (and they can't really change it p). My kids love the variety of games (you can play any game on the site and it will use the same assigned skills for each one). This site is amazing! I use this site almost daily for math fact practice.
