Maths Sparx LearningReviews of maths.sparx-learning.com

Shitest website EVER!! Doesn’t help you at all and some questions have even been wrong. I don’t know how they expect us to write down the individual bookwork check codes for every website HORRIBLE

It makes maths harder and the videos don't even help like it's always a different question and the annoying voices. I can't stand it. Its even hard writing it in an exercise book.

our teacher always threatens us with an hour of detention if our bookwork isnt green (perfect) and if we dont get 100 percent completion. not js that, it ALWAYS takes almost forever to complete especially when the questions increase in difficulty if you do good at the questions you're given. i cry almost everyday because it wastes my time when i couldve been playing with my friends for the 2 hrs i had to endure with this stupid app. i miss the hours of my lifespan gone forever im only a teenager, when i started yr 7 i was excited to do my sparx everyday and nowadays i cant be asked to even do my sparx maths unless its last minute (i dont want detention)

I hate sparx genuinely, I also hate how not getting every question right makes it incomplete. Hello? At least I tried now I’m on the same level as people who actually haven’t done it. The system is terrible and has caused so much stress

"The worst form of torture known to mankind"

Not gonna goon, The sparx creators are chud femboys, but what do i know, im just a girlllie, go off divaa

Its so incredibly bad and this is the worst and it sucks so so so much worst mistake ever

I am a student. Maths used to interest me before Sparx Maths became the primary maths homework. My decline can be summarised to a few reasons. - Sparx approach to learning is completely opposite to what every teacher, mentor, and peer will tell you. In their flawed opinion, to do maths and "learn" means getting everything right. They encourage an idea that one hour of learning is enough but this is not enforced by them and biased teachers will still give you a negative point or detention if you struggle to do one question and spend over even 80 minutes "learning." - When you do need help, just "go to their videos." Oh I wish it were so simple but the videos are often a complete and utter deviation from the subject. This is most common in the niche and difficult subjects in which videos are needed most! - The algorithm encourages failure, not difficulty. After years of use, you realise that students who need most help are given minimal help from videos and no guarantee of help from teachers. As well as this, students such as myself who are higher level are given the hardest topics. However, these topics can only get so hard and often just push the limits of one question which in some cases is just too difficult and others, it is just a long chore containing no aspect of exam-style multi-step questions. What more? When questions are genuinely difficult, those are ones with the worst and most useless help videos in existence. - After three (used to be two) attempts of a question, you get a new one of the same topic. If you have ever done maths or learning in general, you'll understand that this is a stupid and pointless decision. Whether I just want to understand what I did wrong in a question or mistyped my third attempt at an answer, this just adds extra burden, wastes time, and has no logical reason behind. It is about as effective to learning as is knocking yourself out with a hammer repeatedly. I cannot bear it and there is a reason why they raised it to three max mistakes. Because it was an illogical policy to begin with. - If this doesn't already sound like a scandal, here come Bookwork checks. Bookwork checks are my favourite way to torture myself. If you do not use a browser extension; literally made by us teenagers, to bypass bookwork checks, you enjoy watching paint dry while being stabbed. The concept is that you must write down a three digit code as well as each corresponding answer and you will be asked randomly about the answers to a past question. Again, no real point and completely stupid. To add insult to injury, The algorithm makes you complete more checks, taking more of your time if you are already struggling. How "fun." - Detentions are caused frequently by all of these factors, especially how the "Not all correct = incomplete" policy sort of polarises teachers to think that one question means a lot more that it does while for example, in written homework, getting one question wrong is as simple as just one question wrong. I do not like sparx maths. This is only a summary of my complaints. Thank you for your time.
