Great resource!

 

How well does it match the curriculum?

Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected

Great reasoning questions and good challenges! I like how the children can work independently through the questions

 

How well does it support adaptation for different groups of pupils?

Well: A large majority of resources are suitably differentiated for pupils

I think some of the topics could be more challenging - the decimal sections sometimes don’t challenge

 

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

Brilliantly: Pupils love using and are excited when they know they are going to do so

The children in my class absolutely love it! They are really motivated during doing it! It also helps discussions

 

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

Well: We could (or do) use it for monitoring individual pupil progress

 

How well does it support planning?

Brilliantly: It has everything you could need and is straightforward to use with classes

Links really well into the white rose and we just look at which matches - this helps us with assessments

 

How well does it support home use / independent learning?

Well: Pupils could be expected to use this at home or independently, with a minimum amount of support or additional resources

To be fair we haven’t had the children do it at home yet and unsure if we would - as it’s a great step up activity

 

How would you rate it for value for money compared to similar resources?

Well: It’s worth the money and effort to introduce – more so than many similar resources I’ve seen

I think it is good value for money - the initial training was extremely helpful too - it helped us really know what it’s about

 

Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 11/11
