2. Group teaching resources

3. Printable workbooks

Our goal = Combine conceptual thinking and assessment

The reward system! i.e. how many points have I got this week - some children are motivated by competition.

Live mathletics game!

Curriculum activities

- brain icon - conceptual thinking
- Questions will continue generating - they can complete activities more than once (Adaptive)
- Everything has educational value

Concept Search (Group teaching resource) - 760 available
- Click on demonstrations - Time - analogue clock - It's not just practice!

Live Mathletics
- Compete against others around the world
- Speed and accuracy - confidence to tackle more complex areas of mathematics

You can assign set curriculum activities!

Grouping / Differentiated Learning
- Classes can be organised into groups
- New Group - name it

Assign a curriculum activity - children will only be able to complete this task - then the rest of mathletics will open up to them
