What if I don’t know which level my child is working at?

We understand that every child learns at their own pace. That’s why the Home Learning System contains a National Curriculum Leveller Test feature that will help you to establish the level your child is currently working at and the best resources to use with them. When a child logs into their Student Account they will be required to complete the test and the System will then put your child on a course it deems suitable based on the answers they have given.

Can the worksheets be filled in online?

No, our worksheets cannot be filled in online. To fill them in, you need to print them out or alternatively your child can view them onscreen and answer on paper, enabling him/her to show their workings out. Printing out is better for the kinaesthetic learner who likes to touch/feel things rather than onscreen for the audio/visual learner. This is called blended learning and is the most effective model for computer learning. You may want to let your child have a special exercise book for this purpose, and you can also encourage self-marking.

How often should my child be on the system?

We recommend 3-4 times a week for a minimum of 30 - 45 minutes. The worksheets are designed for consolidatory work (i.e. lots of questions). It may be appropriate that your child completes only every other question on a worksheet if it is being used to enhance a school curriculum.

What happens if there are any changes to the curriculum?

In the five countries in which 10ticks has overseen changes, all five have amended the curriculum within two years. The 2014 mathematics curriculum and the 2015 GCSE maths curriculum are both being fully implemented.
