Get the most out of Sumdog

Watch our webinar recordings

We recently hosted a new series of School Success webinars to support educators with embedding Sumdog as part of your teaching and learning practice. Catch up below!

Evidence-Informed Numeracy Interventions: Supporting Professional Judgement 

Making professional judgement with confidence requires robust evidence. This webinar explores how Sumdog data can be used alongside Curriculum for Excellence benchmarks to inform teaching decisions and plan targeted numeracy interventions.
 
You'll discover how Sumdog supports evidence-based approaches, linking digital learning to National Improvement Framework (NIF) priorities.

 

Delivering Improvements in Maths Fluency: Evidence, Impact, and Real School Results

Schools are under increasing pressure to demonstrate measurable outcomes in maths, with clear evidence for Ofsted, SEND accountability, and leadership scrutiny.
 

In this session, you’ll hear how schools are delivering maths fluency in practice - backed by independent research showing statistically significant attainment gains, including delivering impact for SEN and lower-attaining pupils.

Alongside this, partner schools will share how they’re using Sumdog to drive results across whole classes and targeted interventions.

Benchmark Assessment with Sumdog: Identifying Core Numeracy Gaps

Establishing a shared understanding of pupil progress is essential for effective moderation and planning. This webinar explores how benchmark-style diagnostic assessments in Sumdog can be used to identify core numeracy gaps and support consistency across classes and stages.

You will learn how to use Sumdog’s diagnostic data to build a clear picture of strengths and areas for development, enabling meaningful professional dialogue within and across teams. 

From Data to Dialogue: Using Sumdog Reports for Parent Meetings and Pupil Progress Discussions

Clear, accessible data can transform conversations with parents, carers and pupils. This webinar explores how Sumdog reports can be used to support meaningful, evidence-based discussions about progress and next steps in learning.

You will learn how to interpret and present diagnostic and fluency reports in ways that are easy to understand and relevant to individual learners. 

Embedding Hot and Cold Tasks in Numeracy Teaching

Explore how Sumdog activities and challenges can be used to model hot and cold approaches within learning and teaching cycles.

You will examine practical ways to plan pre-assessment (cold) tasks and consolidation (hot) tasks using Sumdog, ensuring learning is targeted and responsive to pupil need.

Using Pre and Post Tests to Measure Impact and Target Support

Discover how pre- and post-tests in Sumdog can be used to establish clear baselines, track progress and target support where it is needed most.

You will explore how to design meaningful baseline and follow-up assessments, interpret the resulting data and use insights to evaluate the effectiveness of teaching strategies and interventions.

 

Using Data to Close the Attainment Gap: Tracking Progress with Sumdog

Watch our latest School Success webinar where we explored how Sumdog can help schools close the attainment gap by tracking progress and targeting support for PEF-funded learners.

With a focus on effective grouping, personalised practice and meaningful assessment, you'll discover how to use Sumdog’s reporting tools to identify learning gaps, monitor progress over time and evaluate the impact of interventions.
