Assessor's comments
This is a very slick, well presented resource. Modules are organised into single screen sections. The use of animations to demonstrate concepts, e.g. compound interest, are very effective and the activities are relevant and easy to understand. The ‘mouse’ glossary is an excellent idea and the recap and assessment features will ensure that both teachers and pupils have the opportunity to monitor their progress. It offers great flexibility as it can be used as a teacher led resource or unguided where pupils can go at their own pace and have the opportunity to finish work online at home.
