Make learning fun with Sumdog! Sumdog delivers highly engaging personalized practice for math and spelling, both in-school and at home. Suitable for children aged 5-14, our adaptive learning games and online rewards motivate children to learn and encourages regular practice. When children first use Sumdog, we run a short diagnostic test to provide a snapshot of their learning and areas for development. Our adaptive learning engine then uses the outcomes of the diagnostic to ensure each child’s starting point on Sumdog is at the right level. From this point, our sophisticated adaptive algorithms create a personalized learning journey based for each child based on their progress. - Over 30 engaging single and multiplayer games - Thousands of standards-aligned questions designed to consolidate and extend in-class learning - Virtual coin rewards to motivate children to learn - A 3D avatar, house and garden for children to personalize “I never thought an online program could do so much in such short bursts of time.” D.
