Parent Comments:
‘‘ As a parent it has been hugely informative.
By watching our daughter doing some of the tasks, and by helping with others, it has
really clarified what she finds easy
or difficult. The ‘task manager’ function has allowed us to ‘steer’ her learning and we
have been able to give useful feedback to her teacher.
As a child with family in Australia, she has really loved being able to play against
other Aussies in Live Mathletics. One of the
biggest areas of improvement has been her mental arithmetic – 75% in Level 1 in 3
months!”
