What is Sumdog Maths?
Evidence-based maths fluency with proven results
Sumdog is an adaptive maths fluency platform for pupils aged 5 to 14 that helps every child make progress through personalised practice. By automatically adapting questions to each pupil's level, Sumdog enables the whole class to work together while ensuring every learner is challenged appropriately - without creating additional workload for teachers.
Unlike other maths fluency platforms, Sumdog has independently proven impact on pupil attainment. An independent evaluation by ImpactEd found statistically significant improvements in maths attainment across 499 pupils, with the strongest gains seen among SEN and lower-attaining learners. Teachers also reported positive engagement across all ability levels, demonstrating that pupils use Sumdog because they enjoy learning with it.
Adaptive practice for every learner
Sumdog's diagnostic assessment quickly identifies each pupil's current understanding, highlighting strengths and areas for development. The platform then continuously adapts practice to provide the right level of challenge, helping pupils build confidence while developing secure number sense and fluency.
Proven maths fluency
Sumdog focuses on the essential building blocks of mathematical understanding, including number and place value, counting and patterns, number bonds, arithmetic and multiplication facts. By strengthening these core skills, pupils develop the fluency they need to access more complex mathematical concepts with confidence.
Curriculum-aligned teaching and intervention
Aligned with the National Curriculum, Curriculum for Excellence, White Rose Maths and Curriculum for Wales, Sumdog makes it easy to deliver targeted support. Teachers can assign personalised practice to whole classes, groups or individual pupils for intervention, consolidation or homework, ensuring every learner receives practice that matches their needs.
Assessment that saves teachers time
Sumdog includes ready-made formative assessments alongside the ability to create custom tests. All assessments are automatically marked, with detailed pupil, class and curriculum reports that help teachers identify misconceptions, monitor progress and plan next steps without increasing marking workload.
Engagement that drives learning
With over 35 curriculum-linked games, virtual rewards, competitions and pupil customisation, Sumdog motivates children to practise regularly and build lasting confidence in maths. Engagement isn't an add-on—it's what enables pupils to spend more time developing the maths fluency that improves outcomes.
"Pupils with SEN, lower-attaining pupils, and those with lower self-esteem were the ones mostly benefiting from the use of Sumdog."
