We have found it to be a good program in school and are extending the use of the program from Year 4 to Year 6 instead of Year 5 and Year 6.
Teresa Lemon found conquermaths:
- Significantly improves attainment“Pupils who have experienced difficulties have used the program and revise a previous year group. This has encouraged them to practise using the different exercises on a regular basis. Other pupils have used the program at home and taken challenges of a year ahead of them. There has been improvement from both groups. ”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency and productivity“Reinforces some of the concepts covered in class. The pupils enjoy working through new topics.”
- Slightly reduces teacher workload“The programs can reinforce what has been learned in class. It also gives the pupils the material to revise. When it used in the classroom it definitely reduces the workload.”
- Does not significantly provide school data“The school set their own check-ups and have external examinations for secondary school transfer. The pupils like to count their certificates.”
- Significantly improves school processes“Some topics are well covered in conquer maths and provide additional teaching material.”

I find it very user friendly, can be used individually with the areas of Maths broken down into smaller chunks to build a foundation in knowledge. Very easy video tutorials which give a great visual/verbal representation of mathematical processes.
Andrew King found conquermaths:
- Moderately improves attainment“Students progress at their own pace and are able to cover the foundations in areas of Maths in which they are weakest.”

Our maths program has several components including projects or inquiry based learning as well as skill development which is necessary for inquiry. The ConquerMaths is an additional platform for students to practice what is learned in the lesson and is a natural venue for the generation that loves computers. The students have books and worksheets and the ConquerMaths is yet another tool so at the end of the day, the student has multiple learning strategies and can be successful. The students also can go back and revise with ease become confident with immediate feedback which is so important in maths. Parents are also pleased to have something to monitor progress and time spend learning which is clearly tracked.

- Moderately improves school processes“The program facilitates dialogue with parents and provides all parents especially those student parents who are struggling, a viable strategy. ”
