A fun way to excel at mathematics fundamentals

About

cZeus School League app is created specifically for schools, without in-app purchases, advertisements or social media interactions, as a separate app from the original freemium “cZeus Maths Challenger” app.

cZeus, with only four simple rules, is excellent for agility, practising numeracy, algebraic logic, mathematical fluency and elimination process in a fun and refreshing way. It covers maths curriculum topics: numbers, times table, algebra, common factors, primes, multiples, and logical deductions.

cZeus School League is an ideal tool for teachers as an alternative teaching tool for testing and motivating students in and out of the classroom.

It is a fun way for students to maintain their maths on vacations and keep in touch with other students. Teachers can set up teams and challenges amongst their pupils, enrol their teams in inter- school public tournaments, locally or internationally, and assess students’ performance. Teachers can access the cZeus School League Portal where there are extended facilities such as in-depth analysis of results and easy bulk pupil registration.

Suitable for all age groups, cZeus School League app offers six difficulty levels from primary and secondary school to college and higher education students.

Partnership with Imperial College

Imperial College Computing partners with cZeus to launch competition for schools.

In partnership with Imperial College London, we're introducing cZeus School-League Competitions.

We have released a separate App called cZeus School League on iOS, Android, Windows or macOS platforms. This school friendly app does not have any advertisements, in-app purchases or any social media functionality. We are offering this app free for our first series of cZeus League competitions.

Important Notice: Due to the general effects of the current outbreak of coronavirus, we have postponed the first series of Imperial College London competitions to a later date. Meanwhile, we recommend pupils to continue practising in the Training Camp and also take part in competitions set up by their teachers and the weekly/monthly public competitions and to monitor their progress. We will announce the new dates for the UK Inter-school competition and the Live Final at the Imperial College London as soon as possible.

The first series of these competitions will be for School Years 7 to 9, Key Stage 3, and will have three phases, with the live final taking place at Imperial College London.

Benefits

How can cZeus benefit developing mathematical skills?

Ignite and accelerate math enthusiasm through games
Enhances the current maths curriculum
Effectively exercises logic, mental arithmetic, mathematical fluency and problem-solving skills.

By solving cZeus puzzles, students will be learning algebraic logic, without even knowing about algebra.

cZeus facilitates the traditional teaching of handling non-linear equations.

Easy cZeus grids are great for practising times tables at various ranges (9 Times Table), and can also be played on paper.

Curriculum Alignment

cZeus Alignment with UK Maths Curriculum Goals

The national curriculum for mathematics aims to ensure that all pupils: **	cZeus Puzzles useful for :
Become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including through varied and frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over time, so that pupils develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately.
Reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language.
Can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of routine and non routine problems with increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions.
