Hi James<br />
Very interesting feedback. With the company based in England, I guess it is understandable that pronunciations and spellings are English as opposed to American. I think, though, you have highlighted one of the main problems in trying to reach an International audience. Perhaps more 'neutral' speakers could be added and different sections specified for the spelling tests!

Hi Sarah<br />
Thanks for the tip. Mathletics looks very like vMathlive except for Australia only! Great to see that these computer programs are so useful.

I just gave a spelling game a quick try and noticed two things:<br />
<br />
1. The British prononciations might throw off some non-British students. (I had trouble with aluminium.)<br />
2. The spelling are British, not American. Expect to spell things with our, not or. (Such as colour vs. color.)

My son uses a programme called Mathletics at his school. He is so enthusiastic about it and loves the 'Live Mathletics' competitions with other students from around the world. He even plays at the weekend and in the school holidays! It's great to see him so excited about Maths and it has improved his results hugely. He can also work on tasks from the whole curriculum and he has help guides if he gets stuck - as well as the mental arithmetic games. I would really recommend it!

Hi Maddy<br />
Thanks for the link. vMathLive certainly does look engaging. Maybe tutpup will be able to add some of these features and still keep it free!<br />

We participated in World Maths Day and also had a trial with <a href="http://www.vmathlive.com/">vMathLive</a>. These were much more engaging as the kids could play against up to four players, got to make an human avatar, and the site appearance was more appealing. However, to continue the service is very expensive, so Tutpup might just be the alternative we are looking for. The kids loved the competitive aspect of the games.
