Do you know the meaning of sparx? Exactly, this website is a child slavery system made to torture little kids like other people. One of my friends has autism and after spending 1 hour on his homework... See more

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

It forces you to complete the homework 100%, gives you videos with the WRONG explanation on how to do the questions and overall is just poor quality. Not rewarding either, no customisation of profile,... See more

I would give Sparx Maths zero stars if I could, but apparently even my rating has to follow strict rules. Great start. This isn’t maths practice it’s a never-ending punishment loop. You g... See more

In my Maths I got a question wrong I…

In my Maths I got a question wrong I was banished to the AliExpress Factory where I only worked 22hrs a day and being payed the generous salary of 3.35 rupees a month. This experience was similar to the Sparx Concentration camp put a little more pleasant and 86% less STDs however on my 3rd day I was molested by a 94 year old CEO called Tu Ching for packaging a sex toy wrong. This was upsetting as I had grown to like him and enjoyed seeing him, So I drove home in my Bajaj auto Grande Tuk tuk (30% off if you shop from Ali express) and decided to do leave my high paying job (I had been promoted and earning 3.40 rupees now) to discover the world. But instead of going back to school I was kidnapped by a Human Trafficking Ring led by Karlie Chirk and Saddam Hussain, where I was transported via Party Bus to the farthest region of Bombay where I was forced to be the world first (and best ) child stripper. I was paid 1 rupee in my first night out. Wow 🤩 soon after a month I earned 28 rupees. So I bought my first Spicy Veggie samosa ever. However the spice got to me and before I could get to the toilet, my bum hole exploded ripping up the fabric of space and time. God saw the whole thing and pulled me through. Outside was deep space. God asked, “what was in those samosas” I remembered the vendor saying it was Bunti Spice, a secret recipe so I told God that it was hot sauce, at this point my mouth was still burning so I asked if he had any milk. He said yes. The next second I was teleported into a pool full of milk. I drank it up, and it was the most divine tasting milk of all time. God said it was Mother Mary’s milk. Amazed I flew back to earth. But God pulled me back. He said, “ Son, the amount if time you have spent here is 15 minutes but on earth it is 11 hrs, your Sparx will be overdue, I said, “Well I don’t care”. Hearing my lack of care God stood outraged, before turning into Prime Muhammad Ali and punched my face in 666 times before turning into Prime Khabib and putting my in a guillotine chokehold for 17 days he then ripped out my intestines and used them to whip me 500 times. Then he crucified me Whilst stealing all my clothes including my Batman Pants. This was a very unpleasant time for me, all because of Sparx, I would like to gently recommend to their developer to kill themselves

Sparx is a waste of time

Sparx is a waste of time, I don't feel like my education has benefited at all since Sparx was introduced to my school, if anything it creates stress and anxiety, and forces you to fully 100% work for it to be shown as complete. The "helpful" videos are really no help at all, and Sparx itself doesn't provide any help to struggling students. In fact, instead of providing tips, it resets the question AND all your working out after only a few tries. It is easy to write answers wrong many times due to the ridiculous keyboard. Summary: DON'T GET SPARX FOR YOUR SCHOOL!

Take this stupid app down

I absoulutely dread maths now because of this god-forsaken app. It isnt made for the students. It's made for teachers to get things done quicker on a Wednesday night. Sparx reader is ok. But maths and science should be banished to the deepest layers of hell. You get 1 question wrong? Too bad! You get the same teatment as somebody who has done none of it. It treats you like a math machine if your good, or the most rebellious student ever. Theres no escape from it.

Pain!1,1!1!1!1!1 :(:(:(:(

This is the worst thing I have ever had to do. It ruined maths for me and takes too long to do. Having to complete every question when the videos don’t help at all means that I have to search it up when I don’t understand the question. I hope that one day we will be able to not have to do sparx and do something else that is a lot easier to endure

It's a system

It's a system. A cruel system of torture for me and other students. We want legitimate homework that the school has made itself, not this disgusting, sloppy, computer generated excuse of a homework website.

Absolutely terrible.

Absolutely terrible.

I'm a High schooler myself who had Sparx Maths and Sparx science. The reason why I hate it the most is because if you get questions right it gets longer and harder and then if I get questions wrong it still gets longer

Sparx is awful for students mental health

Sparx is awful for students mental health, it has taken: gnome noises, hot milk and 10 brakes to not cry or throw my device across the room. Also, the bookwork check punishes children for struggling.

it is so shit that i made it into the main topic of one of my debates at school and won and got told by the teacher that i was poetic about it

it is so shit. each time you get a question wrong, you think you'd get a different easier question, right? WRONG! you get the same question with different numbers and colours. my brain won't suddenly find the answer to this inequality graph if it's got a different letter than the last question. and also I've tried so many different ai homework helping apps on this god forsaken website and they all can't even comprehend what is being asked of me! if ai can't figure it out, how do you expect me to figure it out?!?! it's also so boring just like bloody educake. both educake and sparxs maths are shit. the medieval peasants who got tortured for stealing are happy that they had the torture that they got when they did, rather than this abomination of heiroglyphs strung together vaguely forming an english sentence! I'd much rather do a handstand on sharp spikes coated in poison whilst reciting the bible in chinese than do my maths homework on this website

AVOID THIS WEBSITE AT ALL COSTS.

I would rate this negative stars if it was an option, but apperently it's not.

Every time you get a question wrong, it makes you repeat the same type of question until you get it correct. The help videos do nothing, are too long-winded, and do not give a good explanation of how to get it right. Even on 2x speed, I fall asleep while watching them, and they teach you nothing.

There is no method of rewarding you, except xp, which doesn't do anything anyways, and there is no way to customise anything about the website.

Somethimes, you get a question wrong, but have typed in the correct answer, and the website practically enslaves you and makes you repeat what you just did.

Overall, just avoid the website AT ALL COSTS.

Just awful

Just awful, if you got a question wrong, you'd be given the wrong correction or no correction at all. I used it for about 2 years, and luckily stopped when I started year 10. Each lesson would take over an hour due to how much you'd be given, and most of the time, its not enough, since sometimes there'd be extra work to do that's really unnecessary.
