What is Sumdog?
- At Sumdog, our mission is to ensure every student has access to an engaging and enjoyable learning experience, regardless of their starting point.
- We specialise in creating games-based educational tools designed to connect with those who are hardest to reach.
- By combining interactive gameplay with personalised learning, we inspire children to build confidence, unlock their potential, and develop essential skills in mathematics —all while having fun.

Empowering Every Learner
- At the heart of our mission is inclusivity—ensuring that every learner feels supported and empowered to succeed.
- Our Fluency Booster adaptivity is designed to reignite interest in math for students who may have fallen behind or feel disengaged, and it provides the necessary consolidation of foundational mathematics skills.
- These tools don't just cater to struggling learners but are also tailored for intervention groups and students with English as an Additional Language (EAL).
- By fostering an environment where maths becomes accessible and enjoyable for all, we aim to bridge gaps and celebrate the diverse needs of every learner.

Supporting Educators with Insightful Data
- Sumdog provides teachers with detailed reports that offer a clear view of student progress.
- It allows teachers to assign targeted tasks tailored to individual learners, small intervention groups, or entire classes.
- These reports highlight areas of strength and identify opportunities for additional practice, enabling teachers to deliver personalised support.
- Additionally, the platform makes it easy to share these achievements and progress updates with parents, fostering collaboration and celebration of students' successes.

Hear from our schools
We spoke to teachers from schools across the UK to find out how they use Sumdog with their students and the impact they have seen.
Park Community Academy
"With such stark disparities across the class in terms of ability, Sumdog’s low-stakes approach helps to alleviate any stress or pressure around maths and makes it enjoyable for the pupils!"
Mairead Thompson, Head of Secondary Maths at Park Community Academy in Blackpool.

West SILC
"We are also seeing students
with autism, and for those where focusing is a challenge, really benefit from 20-minutes of low intensity maths practice that offers little rewards and achievements throughout."
Brian Elsegood is Director of Maths at West SILC in Leeds.

Kinross High School
"Sumdog has transformed the way we support literacy and numeracy. It has made learning more interactive, engaging and personalised - giving students a greater sense of ownership over their progress."
