Recommended Homework

We recommend that students complete 45 mins of Maths on the Sparx Maths online learning platform each week. These homework tasks are launched each week on a Wednesday morning, giving the students 7 days to complete.

Sparx Maths creates personalised practice homework that is driven by our scheme of learning. The practice homework is both challenging (to ensure students need to think) and, crucially, achievable (so that students can be successful). In addition to the assigned tasks, students also have the opportunity to complete the extra 'XP Boost' and 'Target' tasks if they wish to go beyond the minimum expectation. These tasks are also personalised for each student and provide for more opportunity for retrieval practice of topic areas studied less-recently.

Students can login into Sparx Maths using their school email account.

Further Practice (Optional)

Of course some students may wish to practice more maths and we are always happy to supply more resources.  We would also encourage students to share any extra work they are doing with their maths teacher.  The three PDFs below contain lots of extra work though students should select them based on how they are performing in tests.  For those performing above 80% we would recommend they work on the enrichment tasks as these will allow them to continue the development of their knowledge.  For those below 80% we recommend the retention worksheets to ensure all the necessary facts and algorithms are memorised.
