Sumdog almost doubles children’s fluency progress
This study set out to investigate whether using Sumdog on a regular basis has an impact on pupils’ mathematical fluency. The findings revealed that the progress made by regular Sumdog users was almost double that of non-regular users giving them a 6-month advantage over their peers.
The Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) describes an effect size of this magnitude as “high impact”, equivalent to a six-month advantage.

“I’d recommend Sumdog as a fun way to present mathematics to children without them even realising that they are practising their skills! Those children who have used Sumdog on a regular basis have made more progress than those who didn’t.”
