If ‘a spoonful of sugar’ helps the medicine go down, then we’re throwing a box of chocolates at students with our newest product. We’ve long found that by introducing an element of fun and healthy competition, kids can not only progress quicker in maths, but they can also really enjoy the subject – so we devised Maths-Whizz Challenge.
Maths-Whizz Challenge is a game for PCs and Macs that helps children aged 7 to 12 with core maths skills in a fun series of challenges and games, and we are very excited to announce that it will be available on Friday 5th September at GAME stores across the UK.
With Maths-Whizz Challenge kids can pit their Maths ability against their friends and parents and flex their maths muscles over a series of 55 challenges. The interactive animated activities cover a wide range of topics, from Number to Problem-Solving, offering a manageable and stimulating tool for children of all abilities aged 7 to 12.
As with Maths-Whizz Tutoring we will send regular email reports to monitor progress, whilst players unlock more and more possibilities as they successfully complete activities. Players are awarded credits according to their performance on activities, which can be directly transferred to their virtual bedrooms online (but only if they then subscribe to Maths-Whizz Tutoring).
Maths-Whizz Challenge is not a replacement to Maths-Whizz Tutoring or our award-winning Maths-Whizz Teachers’ Resource. With 55 activities, and no exam-style tests or dictionary, it offers just a sliver of the wealth of learning material available online. Maths-Whizz Challenge will give kids of any age a fun boost in the maths basics, but only Maths-Whizz Tutoring will assess, teach and test across the curriculum.
For this reason, we’re offering free Maths-Whizz Tutoring trials to Maths-Whizz Challenge customers. If you’re an existing subscriber with other children not yet on our Tutoring service, you might want to try Maths-Whizz Challenge.
Maths-Whizz Challenge is available at GAME stores and at www.game.co.uk, priced £14.99.
