Sparx Maths is an online learning platform designed to provide personalised maths homework for students aged 11-16. Below is a quick guide on how to use it:

Getting Started

1. Login: Students log in using their school-provided credentials.
2. Homework Assignment: Each week, teachers select topics that have been taught in class. Sparx Maths then creates a personalised set of questions based on the student's current level of understanding.

Completing Homework

1. Questions: Students complete their homework online. Each question is designed to be challenging yet attainable.
2. Support Videos: If a student gets stuck, there are short video tutorials available to help them understand the concepts.
3. Written Work: Sparx Maths encourages students to do written work alongside their online answers. This helps reinforce learning and allows teachers to see where students might be going wrong.

Monitoring Progress

1. Teacher Monitoring: Teachers can monitor homework completion and provide support and motivation as needed.

2. Parent Portal: Parents can also monitor their child's homework through the Parent Portal and receive email notifications before homework is due.

Tips for Success

• Start Early: Encourage students to start their homework early to give themselves plenty of time to seek help if needed.
• Use Support Videos: Remind students to use the support videos if they are struggling with a question.
• Encourage Independence: While it's important to support students, encourage them to tackle the questions on their own first.
