Sumdog
Many children in our class have been finding Sumdog levels targeting maths we have not covered in class. Below is the response from Sumdog regarding skill level. You can try to re-run the diagnostic test again. We also have a trial of the full version of Sumdog so I may have more control over levels and topics covered.
Sumdog: If the students are logging on for the first time they will be going through the diagnostic test.
The diagnostic test is available for all students and helps Sumdog target questions to their abilities. It runs automatically during the first few games they play.
During the test, the games run as normal. Students may get asked tricky questions, as we check what level they’ve reached. Please ask them not to worry. They should simply guess answers: the learning engine will understand what’s happening, and place them in the correct level.
During the diagnostic test, we check the accuracy on key skills from each level. In general, we’re not concerned about speed. If a student isn’t sufficiently accurate two games in a row, we’ll stop at the level below.
Once the diagnostic test is complete, we’ll reward students with their first pet.
If the diagnostic test places a student too high or too low, for example if an older sibling has helped with questions, you can rerun it.
