The Whizz

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.

Whenever and wherever you have access to the Internet. You can view an up-to-date report on your child’s progress at any time.

When you add a student to your parent account we only collect the minimum information to deliver an excellent service (name, age, sex, username and password). For more information on how your child’s information is stored please read our Privacy Policy (which can be accessed from the link at the foot of every page on www.whizz.com).

As Maths-Whizz is an online service it is available whenever you have access to the Internet. The beauty of Maths-Whizz is that you can build your child’s studies into your routine. Access your child’s personalised tutoring programme from home, friends’ or relatives’ and even from Internet cafes or hotels.

Your child can access lessons from their virtual bedroom as often as they like. The lessons take the form of colourful interactive animations, which means children enjoy the experience whilst learning. To avoid burn out, we recommend parents should restrict lessons to no more than 45 minutes per day. This is important as best results are achieved using Maths-Whizz regularly over a sustained period of time, e.g. 20 - 45 minute sessions 2-3 times a week.
