KS1 Arithmetic Competition - Dinosaur & Unicorn themed

Setting Up Students!

1. Introduction
Thank you for entering Emile’s KS1 Arithmetic Competition!

We really hope that it will help engage your students (particularly the Year 2) and lead to some big improvements in arithmetic (Manchester Uni saw a 24% increase in 3 months over 4,000 schools).

We are running webinars daily to help teachers so please feel free to register and come along.

2. Logging on to Emile:

Teachers can log on to Emile here, using their email address and an initial password of “password” (please change this password once you have logged in by clicking on your name in the top right corner).

3. Upload Students Directly to Emile

Once you have logged into Emile, you will reach our Maths & English Dashboard:

Select “Student Usernames” and then “Create New Class” (see below).

You then have a choice, you can upload your students with a csv file (excel type file) or send your class or school list securely to Emile:

If you want to upload your students using a csv file, please make sure the columns are: name, username, password, and UPN (optional). There is no need for a header row.

Please note that usernames have to be unique in the school and that passwords do NOT need to be unique and have to be three characters or more.

Alternately, if you send us your class list (or indeed school list), we will create all your students’ log in details typically within 3 working hours.

Once all your students are set up, they are ready to take part in the KS1 Arithmetic Competition!

Share Student Log in Details.

We recommend printing off the students’ usernames and passwords:

The KS1 Arithmetic Competition

There are only certain games that allow students to score points for the Competition. Namely the KS1 Arithmetic game accessible via the Events tab.

Your students have access to a number of different games (including times tables and spelling games) but these of course do not contribute points.

How Scores are Determined.

When playing an appropriate game, every correct answer means a point for that student. Wrong answers have no impact. We are rewarding effort to encourage students to do the game again and again.

Students are ranked in order of points.

Finally, the average rank of the students determines the school’s position.
