What People Say About Ivy Maths

“The report showed us exactly which topics were missing from Year 5. We spent half a term closing three gaps and her confidence came back with the marks.”

“His teacher told us he was doing well and I wanted to understand what that looked like in detail. The assessment put him almost two years ahead on number, which gave us both something specific to work from.”

“Our school announced it was closing in the July and we had six weeks to find somewhere else. The full report was something the new head could read in five minutes, and he went into the right set from day one.”

“I suspected she had more in her. She had already mastered her own year and half the next one, so we moved her onto the stretch questions and she is enjoying maths again.”

“I homeschool two boys and this is the first tool that tells me honestly whether what we are doing is working. The assessment found gaps I had no idea were there.”

“He went into Year 10 sitting on a grade 4 and came out of the mocks with a 6. The report said it was almost all algebra, so algebra is what we did.”

“My English is fine for conversation but not for explaining long division. The step by step working shows my son the method and I can follow it too, so we get through it together.”

“My daughter sat the full curriculum assessment in about twenty minutes and we had the report before dinner. It matched exactly what her teacher had hinted at during parents’ evening, and told us what to do about it.”

“We sat down to the Year 10 report and got a list of six specific things to work on. Far easier to act on than a grade.”

“As a tutor I run a module assessment at the start of every new placement. It saves me three or four sessions of finding my feet, and parents appreciate seeing a proper baseline.”

“We pulled both children out in the March and structure was what I worried about most. The curriculum list became our timetable, and the module assessments tell me when it is fair to move on.”

“Home schooling out here means borrowing bits of three different curricula. This keeps us honestly on the English one, and I have not bought a textbook since.”

“The daily practice is pitched just right. Ten questions is short enough that my son does it without being asked. Most days, anyway.”

“Private tuition after school is almost expected here, and we were paying for it in three subjects. We stopped the maths tuition in the January and put the module assessments in its place.”

“When the fees went up we moved her to the local state school. I wanted to know whether years on one curriculum had left holes in another. Two turned up in Year 5 geometry and we closed them over the summer.”

“I wondered how an online test would suit my daughter, but it adjusts as she goes, so she was never left sitting there stuck. The report read like it was written by someone who had actually watched her work.”

“I read the whole report in plain English and understood every line, so I could go into her parents’ evening ready to talk about it.”

“Both of us learned a different method at school, so we were showing him two ways of doing the same thing. The worked examples gave the three of us one method to follow together.”

“Chez nous, on parle kreol et français, alors le vrai obstacle était le vocabulaire anglais des mathématiques, pas les mathématiques elles-mêmes. Le dictionnaire et les mots clés de chaque leçon ont réglé cela plus vite que je ne l’imaginais.”

“We wanted to give the school as much to go on as we could before Year 9 setting. We did the full assessment over the holidays, took the report in, and he moved up a set in the September.”

“It is not a pass or fail thing, which is why it worked for us. My son stopped saying he was bad at maths once he could see a list of things he was already good at.”

“Moving between international schools every few years had left my son with an odd patchwork of knowledge. This mapped the whole thing properly for the first time.”

“We moved back to the UK after four years abroad and had no idea where the children fitted. The reports gave the school something concrete and both boys were placed without any fuss.”

“My son is sitting British exams from out here and I had no reliable way of telling whether he was where an English school would want him. The year by year curriculum answered that in an afternoon.”

“The learning plan is the part we use most. Each week we pick the next step off the list, do the practice, and retest the module at the end of the month.”

“Clear, quick and honest. The gaps it found in Year 4 fractions explained why homework had been such hard going, and gave us somewhere to start.”

“She needed a 7 for the sixth form she had her heart set on. Ratio and proportion were the weak spot and the practice kept bringing them back until they stuck. She got the 7.”

“Our sons’ school shut at the end of the year and the new one starts a term ahead in maths. We used the summer and the gap report to catch that term up before he walked in.”

“There is no shortage of good tutors here, but tuition on top of private school fees adds up quickly. The worked examples and the practice have kept my daughter moving through Year 10 without that second bill.”

“We took the report to parents’ evening and it gave his teacher and me a specific list to work through together.”

“My daughter asked to do the practice quests herself, which has never happened with anything maths related in this house.”

“We had a lovely tutor for two years and wanted a clearer picture of how things were going between sessions. A module assessment at the end of each month gives me exactly that.”

“I cannot help with the maths in English, which used to worry me. Now she works through the lesson herself, and I can see from the report that it is going in.”

“She goes to boarding school in England next year and we wanted her arriving on the same footing as the rest of her form. The gap report gave us a short list and the whole summer to work through it.”

“People often told us he was bright and we wanted to understand where that actually sat. Seeing him work through the Year 8 material in Year 6 gave us a clear answer.”
