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.
In summary, if your Subscription begins or has begun after 1st June, 2007, you will be entitled to receive your money back after 1 year if, in that period, your Student has recorded time spent on Maths-Whizz exercises totalling at least 78 hours (equivalent to 90 minutes per week) and yet his or her maths age has not improved by 1 year or more from the initial Assessment. The guarantee is based on our experience of the results which are typically achieved by regular and sustained use of Maths-Whizz at Home. Please refer to the detailed provisions concerning the Money Back Guarantee in our Terms and Conditions Applying to Subscriptions to Maths-Whizz at Home which will solely determine whether you will be entitled to claim and to receive your money back.

Maths-Whizz at Home is an online private tutoring service for 4 - 13 year-olds. Following an initial online assessment/test the service delivers a personalised programme of lessons to your child through your home computer. As your child uses the service, the lesson programme dynamically adjusts depending on their progress. Maths-Whizz at Home covers the entire National Numeracy Strategy and uses the teaching and creative animations found in our successful Maths-Whizz Teachers’ Resource CD Roms which over 3,000 schools in the UK now incorporate in their teaching of this key subject.
The Maths-Whizz bedroom ’shop’, where our online users get the chance to spend their hard-earned credits, now features a fun and simple new arcade game - ‘Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?‘
The game, inspired by the arcade classic, Frogger, asks you to help our hapless chicken across multi-lane motorways and croc-infested waters. This is definitely more of a challenge than your every-day chicken stroll and the levels get steadily harder as you progress. Dodge the cars and trucks, hop across the turtles’ and crocodiles’ backs and catch all the worms to finish each level.

Maths-Whizz Teachers’ resource has been well-represented in the results of the Primary Schools League Tables, released by the Department for Children, Schools and Families last December.
14 of the 101 English schools “most improved” in their Key Stage 2 tests between 2004 and 2007 use Maths-Whizz Teachers’ Resource. Even better, 5 of the 30 schools in London which achieved a 100% score in Maths (i.e. all pupils at Level 4 or better), have bought Maths-Whizz for their pupils.
This confirms our understanding that many of the most forward-thinking and successful primary schools use Maths-Whizz Teachers’ Resource. We find that using Maths-Whizz is a sign of good teaching and good teaching is often a by-product of using Maths-Whizz.
We never designed our software to be a crutch for incompetent or lazy teachers, but rather an engaging resource for busy, active, stimulating schol environments that builds on good classroom practice and further encourages it. The league table results are further proof of this.
The Maths-Whizz Christmas Adventure will be available online from 1st December.
Following on from our very successful Amazon Adventure over the Summer, Maths-Whizz brings you the Christmas Adventure - a seasonal selection of games, challenges and factsheets to keep kids entertained between Maths-Whizz lessons.
The Christmas Adventure will appear as a festively-decorated miniature house, on the desk in users’ bedrooms. Kids can click the house to get started.
As with the Amazon Adventure, students must earn the right to have a bit of fun on the Christmas Adventure. For every thirty points a student scores using the Maths-Whizz tutor, he or she wins a star to spend in the Christmas Adventure.
One star and users can view the seasonal fact sheets. Find out about different religious and cultural celebrations this season.
Earn two stars and users can try one of the brand-new Christmas Adventure games including Crackanoid, a festive take on the classic arcade game ‘Arkanoid’…
