Sparx maths is an online learning platform using videos, questions, and a data-driven approach to provide a personalised homework experience for pupils.

The platform covers the entire Maths curriculum and homework will be set each week by class teachers.  At least two tasks and a consolidation exercise will be set, which should take students up to 30 minutes to complete.

The tasks set are chosen by the class teacher and will cover what has been taught in recent weeks. The consolidation tasks will focus on topics that students found difficult in previous weeks.  This cycle allows full consolidation and recap of previous learning in order to continually practise and recall knowledge.

Students should watch the online videos to help with any questions they find difficult and ensure they write down full working out and answers along with the bookwork codes.

You can always do more with Sparx. Alongside the compulsory home learning task that is set each week, Sparx Maths offers two additional sets of questions for students to complete – XP Boost and Target. Both sets of questions cover previously taught topics and give students the opportunity to further consolidate their learning as well as achieve more XP points to work up the levels. There is also an independent learning section of the Sparx website which allows students to search for any topic they want to practice.
