Maths Sparx LearningReviews of maths.sparx-learning.com

Deserves 0 stars. Being used by my daughter's primary school. Endless repetitive questions which offer no challenge or stretch. It's clearly marketed as making marking easier for teachers but when a child gets 100% it tells them nothing about whether they've actually mastered a topic, only whether they can repeat a pattern 40 times in a row! The questions have no depth. The platform itself and bookwork check is inaccessible and unusable. A total waste of time to copy answers. It's an important skill to show working but most questions require none yet still have to be copied out to satisfy the cheating check. Questions and answers are on different screens so everything requires more clicks than it should. As someone who has worked in the education space I am appalled at how many schools have bought this awful platform and seemingly asked for no evidence of the efficacy. This is how to turn children off learning maths.

It is very very stressing and very annoying that there is not dark mode and the exercises are soooooo long! Should be banned now!!!!!

When i say I wish i could rate this frustrating website 0 stars I am NOT joking. Every week is another mental breakdown and another 6 hours of crying in my basement. Somebody please send this useless website to Vietnam on a search to retrieve my sanity, my innocence and my will to ever look at my school laptop again. And by the way, NO ONE likes those bookwork checks you oily rats who run this website decided to add. Awful. Do not recommend. Do not enter this website unless you have 0% self respect for youreslf. P.S i flagged some of the freak shows who gave this website 5 star reviews.

I used to see older kids doing Sparx and thinking nothing of it. Now I do it myself, and I can relate to all the haters. I saw YouTubers such as SnipeSnap complain, and frankly, they were right. For starters, the 100% requirement is just too high of an expectation and should be bumped down to 80 or even 90 would suffice. And then, the bookwork checks are quite tedious, although "it is unique, the same way that pineapple on pizza is unique", says SnipeSnap. It is just unnecessary and there are many loopholes. And my least favourite part, me and my best friend got a reflection (detention) for not completing homework on time, which was little to nothing. In conclusion, with all due respect, I think that Sparx Maths needs improvement ASAP and to learn from its predecessor, Hegarty Maths

I honestly don't know why schools do this. If they knew what sort of addictive drug they were handing out, god knows what would happen. In primary school i was one of the best at maths. Not anymore. I even liked it. Not anymore. Today i had a mental breakdown on a single question. A SINGLE QUESTION. And to any year 7s reading this, trust me, you're in for a ride. (P. S. Thank god they removed XP boost because my parents forced me to do it and it was worse. Please tell me thats relatable)

The homework has began to give questions that will not appear on the GCSE! There is no way to swap these questions, and it requires every question to be answered correctly to be completed. It does not work at all, and paper homework is far better. They even had the gall to remove the option to give feedback on the site, which is still available for Sparx Science but not for Maths? It is a horrible method for homework and they know it but the teachers don’t see it from the student side and just think it’s needless complaining. Get rid of Sparx and bring pack paper homework.

If the word hate were engraved into every nanoangstrom of the millions of miles that make the circumference of our planet, it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate i feel for sparx at this microinstant

sparx is actual garbage and causes so much unnecessary stress. If you make one tiny typo or format an answer slightly wrong, it locks you out, counts it as wrong, and forces you into endless loops of the exact same questions over and over. You can spend an hour stuck on a single question just trying to get the completion bar to 100%. The worst part is the constant threat of getting an automatic school detention just because the AI glitched or you couldn't finish the massive pile of work in time. It doesn't help you learn at all, it just makes everyone miserable and anxious.
