Just a quick exhortation and encouragement to visit the city of Birmingham in 33 days, 18 hours, 20, 19, 18… minutes.
Whizz Education will be exhibiting at stand S8E (floorplan) from the 4th-6th March. The fair Natalies will be on hand to guide visitors through the delights of Maths-Whizz Tutoring and Teachers’ Resource tools, fresh from our awards shortlisting at BETT 2010.
If you’re not sure what The ‘BETT Boulevard’ is (and I wasn’t), the AV Interactive blog helpfully explains:
A selection of exhibitors from the BETT show have been chosen to showcase their products at the Education Show 2010, which runs from 4-6 March at the NEC, Birmingham.
Due to growth in exhibitor demand, BETT Boulevard has been expanded and is now located in the For Your School area. Some of the exhibitors featured in BETT Boulevard include NumberGym Software Rentnote, Whizz Education, Rapid English Consultants and Spysure.
The Education Show 2010 is free to attend and is the UK’s largest exhibition of educational resources, regularly attracting over 15,000 visitors.
The God of Whizz is rarely described as ‘down with da kidz’, but you can be ‘down with da Franchise Direct‘ as an advisor for Whizz Education.
Do excuse the appalling attempt to shed my leather elbow-patched-corduroy-jacketed image for some Snoop-talk. But it’s genuinely worth a look if you want to spread the word about best practice in maths and make some moolah in the process.
Manesh Mistry, man of means in the Maths-Whizz programming department, has created a brand new version of our award-winning Teachers’ Resource, but he needs you to help test it and give him feedback on the latest changes.
Whether you’re a teacher or student, you can help shape the next version of Maths-Whizz.

Some months ago we introduced the Maths-Whizz student leaderboards. Whizzers have since been able to compare themselves to buddies, schoolmates and every other Maths-Whizz student, based on the points they’ve accrued in Tutor and Replay modes.
The Whizz leaderboard has proved so popular we’ve even fielded complaints from parents whose students were denied crucial extra points that would help them reach the top ten. But getting to the top is tough - the leaders have amassed thousands of points and upstarts have to work hard to beat them.
In response to the extraordinary popularity of the Whizz leaderboard, The God of Whizz (or ‘Duncan’, as his mother calls him) has decided to recognise top Whizzers on the Maths-Whizz ticker. Every Wednesday I’ll post the Top Ten Whizzers on the homepage.
This week students from the US, UK, UAE and India have made it to this most illustrious of lists, but lesser mortals will have the opportunity to shine with some new features that we’re releasing later this month. PLUS - a certain land-dwelling member of the family Testudinidae might make an appearance in the Whizz Shop.
