Students have full access to all of our topics in the Independent Learning section of Sparx Science.
They can either:
Use the Personal practice feature to do additional practice on the topics you've set the class for homework in Planner.
Search for a topic using the name of the topic or a topic code.
Either option will create a short task for the student to complete.
The questions chosen will reflect the homework settings for the student, for example level 1 students will be given level 1 questions and student set to combined will not see any higher-only questions.
Students are able to create as many tasks as they like.
