Using the teacher emails from Sparx Maths

Teachers receive three types of emails each week about their classes, giving important and useful information which may need to be acted on.

Planned homework email

What is it?

• An outline of the topics that will be included in the next homework

When will I get it?

• Two days before the homework is due to be set

How can I use it?

• Check the email each week to make sure you are happy with the topics due to be set for your classes
• If you need to add, move or skip topics, for example, because you didn't teach them as planned, edit the homework in the Planner at least 15 minutes before the hand-out time

Homework update email

What is it?

• An email showing the number of students who haven't started or completed their homework this week

When will I get it?

• Two days before the hand-in date

How can I use it?

• Use the information in the email to remind those students who haven't yet done their homework that hand-in day is coming up

Homework report email

What is it?

The Report email gives an overview of the homework that was due that day and includes the following:

• The number of students who did or did not complete the homework
• Details about a topic that the class needs help with
• Details of questions that individual students may have struggled with
• If any students did all XP Boost, Target, and compulsory homework
• If any students have ‘leveled up’ their XP Level in the last seven days

When will I get it?

• On the hand-in day after homework was due in

How can I use it?

• Use the information to praise and reward students, to inform whether extensions or detentions should be set, and to plan supporting activities in class for topics that may have been misunderstood by individuals or groups of students.
