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.
Some great coverage of our efforts to boost maths standards in schools and home:
Maths-Whizz, which first appeared at BETT in 2006, returns this year with the latest generation of its animated maths teaching tools. The company’s method is to make services that work simply to raise standards in maths, regardless of the classroom environment, the student’s year group or the prevailing new vs. old maths agenda. For this, Maths-Whizz won a BETT award in 2006 and has since been adopted in domestic and schools markets as diverse as Mumbai, Seattle and Tunbridge Wells. The company has further boosted its credentials with two BETT award nominations this year.

As in the last three years, the 2010 BETT Show played host to the Maths boffins of Whizz Education and this year the Awards committee saw fit to nominate us in two categories.The dust has settled, the leads collected and the awards show hangover a distant memory – so, how did we do?
Just in time for Hallowe’en, a spooky theme has been added to the Maths-Whizz bedroom!
Students logging into our online math tutor this weekend until Tuesday will get a seasonal treat with a rolling pumpkin head, cobwebbed corners, and rolls of thunder beyond the window.
Whizzers can get a fright with some of our witch-themed measures lessons, ghoulish multiplication questions, and goblin-infested graphing problems. It’s all in Maths-Whizz, with over 1200 more animated games to teach (nearly) every maths objective under the clouded moon this weekend.
Have a happy Hallowe’en, and may your treat for 2009 be all the tasty math skills you need!
