Sparx Maths

In the classroom and at home, Sparx Maths is a complete solution that improves students’ progress in maths through personalised learning and reduces teacher workload.

Teachers receive fully resourced lessons and real-time insights into class and student progress. Detailed lesson outlines are supported by rigorously tested content covering the KS3 and GCSE maths curricula. Over 38,000 hand-written questions are backed up by 9,000 carefully crafted video tutorials that help explain concepts in different ways and encourage independent learning. 

Homework is aligned to the scheme of learning (SoL) the school is following – either Sparx’ research-based SoL or the school’s own SoL – and is automatically set and marked every week. 

Students receive personalised homework which is challenging but achievable for them, improving their progress and attainment in maths. And, their parents/carers are automatically engaged through a weekly email which links to a video tutorial that they can watch, empowering them to help their child with homework. 

Sparx Maths is transforming the way maths is taught and learnt. After the implementation of Sparx Maths: 

• Homework completion rates soar; in one case from under 20% to over 95%.
• Using Sparx for 4 hours per week, on average, helps increase our students’ predicted GCSE maths result by one GCSE grade.
• Sparx Maths can help disadvantaged students progress at the same rate as non-disadvantaged students – helping to stop growth in the attainment gap. 
• Using Sparx Maths, teachers with 10 classes per week can save, on average, five hours per week.
