Education Perfect


Education perfect is online learning at it best.It is competitive between students in a class,  between classes in a school, between schools in a country and between countries as well. Competitiveness is not its main feature. The real time feedback and  monitoring is excellent. As soon as a student is log in, it tracks them and report back. An individual and class report is available. It shows the student where the gaps are in their learning.

The activities  is progressive and lessons are provided. Answers are mark immediately and when an answer is wrong, it shows the correct working out and answers. This is available learning tool. Videos is missing unfortunately, but I have build ups a video library to compensate for the visual learners and poor listeners.


When students were given a choice to do MyiMaths or Education Perfect,  most students choose education perfect. It is easier are more progressive than the MyiMaths program.However good the program is, it is only a tool. If the students don't use it , it is a useless tool

This supplement but don't replace other activities.Ninja Maths challenge and MyiMaths will improve a student level from 25-40 % if d...

Let them tell you Use hooks and opening statements, games, questions to start the conversation. Use proms like what's next, anything more, it that the only answer, silence, what else?, what else?   to keep the conversation going. Us talk moves and question stems to generate conversation.
