Parents and Carers


As you may already be aware, your child will be using Sparx Maths to
complete their weekly Maths homework. Sparx provides a highly
personalised weekly homework to students, tailored to their attainment
level and working speed.
We know you want to support your child's maths progress, so we are
sending this letter to explain how Sparx works and how you can help your
child complete their homework each week.

What is Sparx Maths Homework?

● Sparx provides personalized homework to each child, with questions


that are challenging yet achievable, and tailored to their learning needs.

● The majority of each week's homework will be based on recently learnt


topics, but it will also include some questions from previous topics to help
reinforce their learning.

● Students access their homework on their online Sparx account, where


they’ll get immediate feedback for each question about whether their
answer was correct or they need to have another try.

● While homework is accessed online, it is predominantly a written


homework and students should record their work in a notebook or
exercise book. Sparx has a”bookwork check” system to help students
form this habit.

● Every question in Sparx has a support video attached to that your child
can get help independently.

How can you help your child with their homework?

● Provide a quiet space for your child to focus on their homework each
week.
● Encourage them to start their homework early so they can get help
from their teacher before the deadline if they get stuck. To ensure no
gaps form in your child's maths knowledge, homework is not marked as
complete until all of the compulsory questions have been answered
correctly.

● Check the weekly email you’ll get from Sparx and praise your child for
starting or completing their homework. Encourage them to finish it before
the deadline if they haven’t already done so.

● Try not to help your child with a question until they’ve had a go first. It
is essential they try to complete their homework independently so that
Sparx can give them questions that are at the right level for them.
Remember they can watch the support videos if they need to.

If students cannot access Sparx on a computer at home, or by using their


mobile phone, Homework clubs are available after school on Monday,
Wednesday and Thursday, based in the Unit.

Sparx have produced a short video for parents that you may find useful:
Sparx Maths - A parent's guide to Sparx Maths

I am confident that consistent use of Sparx will play an important role in


helping your child’s understanding, success and confidence in maths to
grow. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me or
your child’s Maths teacher
With kind regards

Ms J May
Head of Mathematics
