Rokeby School, London – How we use Mangahigh in our department
Mangahigh is a very important part of our numeracy strategy. I organise two maths inter-form competitions every year using Mangahigh games.
We also use Mangahigh as part of our online homework and in-class tasks.
G&T students are also set tasks as part of their weekly targets.
Y11 intervention also includes Mangahigh activities.

We print and stick the students login details onto address labels that go onto the front of the students exercise [...]

In Michael Gove’s recent speech to the Royal Society, he highlighted the potential of Mangahigh to engage students and help them learn.
“Computer games developed by Marcus Du Sautoy [Mangahigh] are enabling children to engage with complex mathematical problems that would hitherto have been thought too advanced. When children need to solve equations in order to get more ammo to shoot the aliens, it is amazing how quickly they can learn. I am sure that this field [...]

Harris Academy Merton, Surrey – Assorted student quotes
The Harris Academy Merton is using Mangahigh with a range of classes to help engage students and raise attainment levels. The students in a lower set year 11 group shared their thoughts on the experience. They have been preparing for their GCSE examinations and used Mangahigh in class and at home.
We asked the students “Were all the Mangahigh lessons worthwhile and why?”
“Yes because we didn’t only do it individually, we learnt together as a class.” Ellison
“Yes because it allowed [...]
