Do you know the meaning of sparx? Exactly, this website is a child slavery system made to torture little kids like other people. One of my friends has autism and after spending 1 hour on his homework... See more

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

It forces you to complete the homework 100%, gives you videos with the WRONG explanation on how to do the questions and overall is just poor quality. Not rewarding either, no customisation of profile,... See more

I would give Sparx Maths zero stars if I could, but apparently even my rating has to follow strict rules. Great start. This isn’t maths practice it’s a never-ending punishment loop. You g... See more

It's just a bad platform.

It's just a bad platform. The videos suck, and I hate that it changes the question every 3 attempts because i lose all my progress, and therefore can't muddle my way through. Also, it doesn't track time accurately at all, so when your teacher tries to get on you about not doing it, you cant even explain that you've spent x time trying - because it won't log it properly. Please for the love of everything schools stop using this.

Sparx is awful.

Sparx is simply; Satanical. If I had to write a list of all the bad things about it we would be here until the last syllable of recorded time.
The bookwork checks are just horrid, i have resorted to guessing; but now i'm scared that their demon soldiers are going to come to my house and take me.
I'm writing this in secret as just as i started writing a sparx van has parked outside our house and the door has just burst open.
If anyone can please come and help.
Please.

ITS HORRIBLE

It’s bad, extremely bad. It’s laggy frustrating for all students and the questions can be difficult even teachers. Schools should not be using this as it’s 100% to finish it policy is not productive at all and extremely disruptive.

Absolutely crap :)

Sparx is absolutely useless and doesn't help anyone all it does is make you feel like a failure not to mention the people who are recording the support videos sound like they want to be anywhere else and most of them don't even link to the question I don't recommend this to anyone or any school please never use this
