Some of the schools using SMASH Maths every week
Our Schools Products
At SMASH Maths, we offer fantastic free and premium products for schools.
SMASH Maths for Schools – FREE package
Free SMASH Maths for Schools provides weekly Spiral Practices using spaced repetition. Spaced repetition has been shown by research to improve learning retention considerably.
The free version comprises one Practice a week, containing 6 questions. A new Practice is published every Monday, during school term time only.
- Revisit and consolidate the whole UK maths curriculum.
- Can be used as weekly homework, saving teachers time.
- Instant marking, emailed to teachers.
- Teacher Dashboard available, so you can compare pupils’ results and Effort Scores, as well as the class average versus the SMASH Maths cohort average.
- All questions have expert video feedback to explain how to answer the question for maximum marks.
- Special free add-ons include: Ultimate SATs Revision Programme (with vocabulary videos) and Multiplication Tables Check resources. Our Ultimate SATs Revision Programme is made available 1 week before maths SATs take place in May.
SMASH Maths for Schools – PREMIUM package
Premium SMASH Maths for Schools is like the free version, but with the following differences:
- Comprises two Practices a week (not one).
- Each Practice has 10+ questions (so 20+ questions a week in total per week).
- New Practices are published every Thursday evening, every week of the calendar year (not just during school term time as with the free package). This helps pupils retain learning considerably throughout the school holidays.
- Our Ultimate SATs Revision Programme is made available from the beginning of the Spring term, in January (not one week prior to the exam, as with the free package).
Ultimate Year 6 SATs Revision Programme
Our Ultimate Year 6 SATs Revision Programme is expertly designed for SATs exam success. It is the only SATs programme on the market which covers every KS2 test framework code from Years 3 to 6.
The programme includes 25 Practices with 200 online questions.
Our FREE version is included in our free SMASH Maths weekly Practices. The SATs Revision Programme is published one week before SATs exams take place in May each year.
Our PREMIUM version is the same as the free version, but is included in our Premium SMASH Maths for Schools weekly Practices and is made available from January each year. The earlier that pupils can use the Ultimate Revision package, the more successful they will be in the SATs exams.
Alternatively, schools can purchase the Ultimate Year 6 SATs Revision programme on a standalone basis for £120 per class. Please click on the button below.
What is
SMASH Maths?
SMASH Maths is not like other online maths programmes.
SMASH Maths is a unique weekly online Practice using a Spiral Curriculum approach to help primary school children learn maths.
We do not follow the current trend of AI-driven adaptive teaching, which we feel has drawbacks for children’s learning (such as not covering the whole curriculum). Learn how we differ to our competitors.
We are focused on using tried and tested spaced repetition to help children gain confidence in maths, and ultimately do their best in SATs, 7+ and 11+ entrance exams.
What is Spiral Practice?
Spiral Practice is where students practise every area of the maths curriculum every week, rather than a traditional topic-by-topic based approach.

More testimonials
Jamie, Maths Subject Leader, Muschamp Primary School
“We have been using the ‘spiral curriculum’ approach for a number of years at Muschamp Primary School, since Sarah-Anne Fernandes introduced it. The philosophy behind spaced repetition, which enables regularly revisiting all topics learnt has had a significant impact on our children embedding their maths knowledge and having confidence to solve maths problems. The SPIRAL strategy has certainly contributed towards our consistently strong SATs results over the last few years.”
Shanelle, Maths Subject Leader, St Leonard's Primary School
“Sarah-Anne is a fantastic maths consultant and has really shaped me into the Maths Leader I am today. She has a wealth of subject knowledge and demonstrates her expertise in many ways.
Her spiral maths curriculum guidance has had a significant impact on improving maths results and enabled the children at my school to respond more positively to maths, especially towards problem solving.”
Louise, teacher in Rochester, Year 2, Keep on Track
“I’m a teacher at an independent school so always keeping my eye out for resources! I heard about SMASH Maths so signed up my daughter. Bea worked hard on the questions and really loved Sarah-Anne’s feedback! She thought Sarah-Anne was marking it there and then! I really like how SMASH Maths is helping her revisit concepts and make progress on new ones.”
