SLW4S3. 'Living Worksheets' is a great asset to our maths department. We use it with all ages and abilities. It is the best maths software that we have bought and offers plenty of practice for students in a wide variety of topics. Rebecca Redding, Head of Mathematics, Thomas Alleyne's High School, Staffordshire.
MLW4S2P(US). As a math intervention teacher in a high need New York City public school I have found nothing that approaches the effectiveness of Living Worksheets. The sheets are instructive, extremely logical, and enjoyable to use. The immediate feedback builds confidence and motivates the student to go further and to move their learning on to the next level. This has truly been an invaluable tool in my work - simple in design, yet so powerful in what it can do. Tim Glass, New York.
SLW4S3PE. This is a fantastic resource and is used at Frome Community College to both teach and reinforce key concepts across the age and attainment range at both Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4. Living Worksheets provide the best resource for the teaching and learning of mathematics that I have seen in my twelve years as a Head of Department. Chris Curtis, Head of Mathematics, Frome Community College, Somerset.
MLW4S2P. A very useful tool that delivers concepts in a child friendly manner. Peter Lambillion-Jameson, Assistant Head/Head of Maths, Ixworth Middle School.
SLW4S3. Living Worksheets enable individual learning plans to be implemented in very diverse groups. As they are self-marking, and give very positive re-inforcing feedback, pupil's errors can be eliminated before they become habituated. We are a Special School for physically disabled students that range in ability from Level 1 to A* GCSE and beyond. This is the most useful resource in my department. Chris Hughes, Advanced Skills Teacher, Maths and Science Co-ordinator, Blackfriars School.
SLW4S3. Living Worksheets are great for differentiation within a group as a variety of worksheets can be set in one lesson and students can pick the relevant ones according to their needs. Dr Julie Dekanski, Head of Mathematics, Ashville College, North Yorkshire.
SLW4S3P. Living Worksheets are excellent. The students really enjoy them. The ability to know they have the correct answers works well in this centre. Miles Watkins, ICT Co-ordinator, The Oxford Centre, Blackpool.
SLW4S3. Living Worksheets are used extensively in KS3 and to a lesser extent in KS4. They are excellent for use as lesson starters for a five to ten minute warm up, longer main activities and as printed copies for homework. An excellent resource. Robert Horton, Head of Mathematics, King Edward VI Handsworth School.
SLW4S3. Both the departmental staff and the students enjoy using these resources. The easy to use and well presented design ensures that this is a must for any Maths department. S.G.Jones, Head of Mathematics, Westwood College, Staffordshire.
SLW4S3. Living Worksheets are an excellent resource to use with all KS3 and KS4 pupils, allowing self-assessment with immediate feedback. Ian Blake, Head of Mathematics, John Taylor High School, Staffordshire.
SLW4S3. An excellent resource. Students love getting results immediately. Seems to motivate them. Philipa Laycock, Elearning Manager, Horsforth High School, Leeds.
SLW4S3PE. We use Living Worksheets with a large range of students in our school, from those working at levels 4-6 at KS3 right through to top set pupils in year 11. All work enthusiastically and appreciate the instant feedback that is given. The starter activities have allowed me to revise work from previous lesson with ease and the open input starters allow for investigative approaches where appropriate. The introduction of the puzzle sheets has given me access to material that can be used either as whole class activities or extension problems that stretch those students who finish the work associated with the main lesson objective. The online license makes it accessible over the Internet and allows pupils improved access to this invaluable resource, both for homework tasks and personalised learning and revision. Darren Pywell, Head of Mathematics, Thorpe St Andrew’s School, Norfolk.
SLW4. Darlington Learning Zone is an independent tuition centre, specialising in English and Maths. Students between the ages of 6 and 16 come for extra lessons after school, on Saturdays and during the holidays. We are always looking for interesting and stimulating software that really helps them with their learning and Living Worksheets does just that. Whatever topic at whichever level of ability, I can always find a living worksheet to reinforce a student's learning. The worksheets encourage independant learning by showing whether the answer is right or wrong so that students can think again if necessary or give themselves a pat on the back. I often print out sheets for homework, which the students self check at their next lesson. We can then discuss any queries. The exploration sheets e.g. functions have been very useful for older students to help them understand difficult topics. All our students like using them and feel a sense of achievement when they have completed a sheet. I couldn't do without them now! Ann Parker, Subject Leader (Maths), Darlington Learning Zone.
