What is Sparx Maths?

Sparx Maths Homework is an online learning platform that creates personalised maths homework for students aged 11-16.

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.

We constantly monitor homework and listen to teachers, so we can match your child's understanding. Each question also has a short video tutorial to help your child if they are stuck.

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
Suggest that they start early to give plenty of time for help if they need it.

Why is my child encouraged to do written work as well as online?

At Sparx Maths, we believe that written work is essential in supporting your child's understanding of maths and to help them create positive habits.

We provide bookwork checks to encourage your child to do written work when they're answering questions in Sparx Maths. These checks remind students to write down the question and their working, which is really helpful if they get stuck as teachers can see where they are going wrong.

Student videos

We use video to let our students know how to use Sparx Maths, as well as keep them updated with new features or changes.
