In conclusion, ‘Sumaze! Primary,’ has many benefits to enhance teaching and learning opportunities. The app can be explored as a single player, as the app has intended, or in a more collaborative way, working in groups. This would fit a social constructivist approach, which would benefit learners (Kaye, 2017). The app has clear benefits to problem solving activities and can be manipulated using the ‘teacher mode,’ to benefit a specific purpose. Jones (2015) recognises that problem solving skills must be explicitly taught. This app would allow opportunities to practice these skills at different levels.
Outhwaite et al (2019); Young (2016), and Mann (2017) have recognised that technology can be used effectively to raise achievement and develop teaching and learning opportunities. As Beach and O’ Brien (2015) suggest we should begin with the activity that best achieves the learning goal and then look to which apps afford the best engagement and learning opportunities. Therefore, if the learning goal is focused on problem solving, the ‘Sumaze! Primary,’ app would fit this purpose very well.
