Competition Time!
Today each child in Yr1/2 should have received their Sumdog log-in details, as it is the first day of the Essex Sumdog competition. To take part simply log on to your Sumdog account and play your favourite maths games! Playing these games is a brilliant way to build confidence and consolidate learning in all operations of maths so building a Sumdog slot into each day is a great way to enhance learning.
How it Works
Sumdog builds up a picture of the player's skill level and tailors questions to that level, moving the number challenge along as skills increase. Explanation on how to play a game can be given but children must be allowed to work at their own pace to calculate answers or the questions will quickly become beyond their level. In this instance the account would need to be reset, which may take some time! Therefore it is very important to remember that however tempting it may be, adults and siblings must not help in the calculation of answers.
As a reward for working hard on their own learning, each pupil that answers at least 100 questions will receive a bonus item for their Sumdog house.
The competition opened at 8am today 24.4.20, and will end at 8pm 30.4.20 (next Thursday).
Have fun everybody,
Key Stage 1 Team
