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

BAN SPARX MATHS!!!

Sparx maths is so shit for students we spend hours every day doing this absolute bullshit just to get a bloody detention for making mistakes. Last time I checked, we are humans! we make mistakes! but sparx maths wants you to be perfect. Why would I be doing homework if I already knew the answers? BAN SPARX MATHS!!!

Bookwork checks

They always pop up! I’m converting to satanism! The bookwork checks they always come and be mean! Mean! Mean! And I like kissing boys. This website is frustrating and the times tables questions where you repeat them are making me want to kiss boys in a bad way!

Please never use it will destroy all love students might have had for maths

Sparx maths is possibly the worst homework software I have ever used. Students are forced to complete every question correctly with no indication of how or why you might have gone wrong in your working out. They do provide videos which are INTENDED to be helpful if you are stuck but the employees all sound so unenthusiastic and bored. The bookwork checks also do not do what they are intended to do. Every few questions you will get interrupted with a bookwork check which asks you to choose the answer from a previous questions as you are supposed to write them down. However if you get the bookwork check wrong due to an accident or not remembering, you will get more bookwork checks. In my limited experience of this, it completely drains my motivation and is incredibly frustrated especially when I simply miss click. Overall this is an incredibly frustrating website which barely benefits teachers and adds to the money pile which the pig who owns this company is sitting on.

Sparx got my iPhone pregnant

Sparx got my iPhone pregnant. I’m extremely enraged.

I was in the middle of a Scientology raid battling the final boss (Tom cruise) until i was unpleasantly greeted with a notification telling me to complete my sparx. This then led to ItalianBach throwing a bottle of bleach onto my pet dikdiks balls, severely traumatising my dikkywikky :(
My phone then kept repeatedly bookworking on its check until it produced a baby. Nine months later my phone has been repeatedly sending me oiled up sparx questions notably stating “table toppers? I’ll top alright”
Which made me incredibly uncomfortable. I’m now sat here in my padded cell gnawing at my wig comb
THANKS A LOT SPARX 🤬

I LOVE SPARX

I was walking my pet fish when suddenly I was struck by 4 volts of zeus' lightning and then dragged to the deepest depths of hell by Satan himself. They took my fish. His name was Demarcus. Then I told Satan that it was a Sunday and sparx was due tomorrow and I pulled out my phone to show him. He was so disgusted that he flung me back to earth as his flesh burnt from the very core. Sparx maths got me out of a real pickle there. Sadly i didn't complete one of the 73836 questions and was banished to a soviet gulag, but its the thought that counts. Love you Dr Mark Dixon!!

i hate sparx

sparx is the bane of my life. every week i have to complete not one, not two but THREE lots of sparx (science, reader and maths) it is the most mundane and execrable thing to ever walk the planet in all 4 billion years i've know the planet to be alive. my week is ruined every time by just seeing the site of said sparx and my education and gcses are probably at risk because of this atrocious thing. i hope every person that is forced to do this finds peace

The worst website in my 1356 years of life

Horrible
I have to do it every week
It doesn’t tell me how or why or when I went wrong it just tells me Wrong answer
And these goddamn bookwork checks are soo anoying
It makes it last way longer than it should take
Also the videos need more enthusiasm cause they sound bored as hell
It’s a website or app that genuinely ruins my day and makes me depressed and it’s just annoyingly useless
When will I ever refer to Sparx maths in my GCSE’s
I use google for the answers anyway now
It’s a bad company and whoever made it is the opposite of fun

Sparx Maths has gone too far.

For 10 weeks I have been give the same question sometimes multiple times per week, so much that my tablet now remembers that question and so can I. The tablet literally advises the full sentence of the question’s answer.
