Curriculum for Excellence
From ages three to 18, pupils in Scotland follow the Curriculum for Excellence developed by Education Scotland and the Scottish Government. At Sumdog, we support this journey by mapping our maths and spelling activities to the curriculum benchmarks. This allows teachers to trust that every task builds key skills while aligning with Scotland’s national curriculum, helping them track progress and empower every child to succeed.
Games-based practice
Teachers can use our practice tool to set skills aligned to Curriculum for Excellence to complement their teaching in class, homework or revision of maths skills.
CfE benchmark tests
Sumdog has ready-made low-stakes maths tests that are aligned to the CfE maths benchmarks, which are broken up into Sumdog milestones.
Ready-Made Spelling Lists
Use Sumdog’s ready-made spelling lists for quick access. Created by educators, these lists cover common spelling patterns and suitable vocabulary.
They can be assigned for games-based practice or spelling tests to assess understanding, making them ideal for in-class learning, homework, or independent practice.

Pupil Equity Funding (PEF)
Almost every school in Scotland receives Pupil Equity Funding (PEF) from the government to enhance pupils’ education. Pupil Equity Funding is to support children from low-income households, but you can also use allocated PEF to purchase Sumdog to enable teachers to engage students in the classroom and at home. To find out more, read our guide to PEF and Sumdog.
