During a maths lesson on identifying right angles, a group of children were taken out during the class worked on their tasks independently. The pupils solved some angles problems on MyMaths, an online teaching and homework subscription website. It was used as a supplementary resource to aid consolidation of children's learning.
The tasks were presented in progressively more difficult stages and all questions need to be completed to be able to move on to the next stage. It allows children to build their confidence and fluency on solving maths problems.
I think that using a website like this is particularly effective when used alongside a maths lesson as a revision, consolidation or assessment resource. It allows pupils to do extra work at home with their parents in areas that they don't feel very confident and should enhance student's self-regulation and sense of responsibility for their own learning. Additionally, the parents can also access the website to monitor their children's progress.
