"The kids, all Y6 (10 and 11 years old) soon got into the games, absorbed by the software. The kids were doing maths for fun!!"

"The PSPs were used at different times with 13 year old and 10 year old pupils in maths lessons, together with some software called SUMS. This software provides numerous activities aimed at particular learning points. The activities give the pupils the opportunity to practice their numeracy skills in a fun and engaging way."

"Three years of trying to embed times tables in a difficult group of boys without success. Three months of fun and over-learning with SUMS - success!"

"One of the kids said to me - it is just like having a portable maths teacher, cos it helps me to understand things when I get them wrong."

"SUMS just ****** works! Probably the most successful part of our project so far."

"Pupils love the activities. One Special Needs learner on Unit 5 had a breakthrough on 'division plus remainder' and leapt into the air three times, a rare show of feeling."

"We received very positive feedback from teachers using SUMS. The availability of SUMS for interactive whiteboards, on the web and individual devices (PSPs) created the opportunity for an expanded learning environment, from classroom to playground to home."

"We have been using the SUMS resources, particularly the times tables activities, as one of the school's targets is to improve children's knowledge of tables. The children are loving the games."

"This weekend, one child was apparently still awake at 1 in the morning on SUMS. Children are engaged and enthused by the content, which is great."
