Can Maths-Whizz help with tests and exams?

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

Yes! After successfully completing an animated exercise, the student is usually presented with five exam style questions. This is to ensure that the understanding the student has gained through the animated exercises is transferable to traditional paper-based questions. This way Maths-Whizz not only helps to develop understanding and confidence, but also improves exam results. Maths-Whizz currently meets key objectives covered in the National Numeracy Strategy for Key Stages 1 and 2 and Years 7 and 8.
