This will help your child master their current year group standards but also secure learning from the previous year group, to help them catch up and be confident with all areas of the curriculum.
If your child is a confident mathematician and you are keen to help them excel further then you are welcome to subscribe to our Prepare for 7+ and 11+ Exams package even if your child will not be sitting the grammar or independent school entrance exams. The additional practice and accelerated learning will put them in good stead!
We would recommend that you select Prepare for 7+ and 11+ Exams. This will provide your child with two SMASH Maths Practices per week for your child to master their current year group standards and prepare for Grammar or Independent school exams.
We would recommend trying our free trial with your child for their current year group. If you are currently in the summer holidays, choose the academic year that you child has just finished.
Choose the package that you think is most suitable for your child – Catch Up, Keep on Track, or Prepare for 7+/11+. If your child finds the package too easy or difficult, please email us at hello@smashmaths.org and we will change the package accordingly for free.

5. Our unique SMASH Maths Practice uses our Spiral Curriculum approach, which is based on spaced repetition. This means for every practice, your child will complete questions on all six domains of the curriculum. This way your child is revisiting all topics at each test, so they do not forget what they have learnt previously. This is the key to success!
6. Your child will be allowed one attempt at every question but will be able to take the practice up to three times.
7. For every correct answer, your child will receive a motivational GIF to praise and encourage them.
8. For every incorrect answer, your child will receive audio and written ‘Let’s Solve it Together’ feedback with detailed step by step guidance. In a research paper by Pashler, Rohrer, Cepeda, and Carpenter, the authors found that feedback provided during the tests was beneficial for embedding learning during spaced repetition.
9. There is no time limit for completion of the SMASH Practice.
10. At the end of the SMASH Maths Practice, your child will be shown a total score. The answer feedback for all questions can be downloaded as a PDF and printed so your child can revise again. All scores and question feedback will also be emailed to the parent/carer for the SMASH Maths at Home product, and to the teacher for SMASH Maths at School.
11. At any time, parents/carers and teachers can access your their dashboard on the SMASH Maths website (using your email address and password) to analyse data for how well their child/pupils have performed, but also identify any gaps in their learning. The SMASH Maths program is designed to fill in the gaps over time, but certainly feel free to help your child with any gaps if you want.
At SMASH Maths, our philosophy is to expose children to questions covering all topic areas of the curriculum every week. This helps improve learning retention considerably. It is a strategy that we have trialled and tested, and we know gets great results.

3. Fractions, Decimals and Percentages
4. Measurement
5. Geometry
6. Statistics
