SMASH Maths are the experts in providing online maths learning using spaced repetition. 

This means that our Practices cover all topics of the maths curriculum every week. Spaced repetition has been shown by research to improve learning retention considerably.

This approach significantly enhances topic-based teaching at schools.

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.

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

“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.”
