"Maths-whizz is a huge hit amongst the children. They absolutely love it!"
More...Teacher, Tiverton Primary School
(14/11/2009)
"We have been delighted with the impact Maths-Whizz® has had on the children’s mathematical learning, understanding and application. We were inspected in May and the inspectors were most impressed with the scheme and amazed to see all the children so confidently accessing the programme. As a school we are thrilled with the positive impact Maths-Whizz has had on our continuing drive to raise mathematical standards."

"We have used Maths Whizz with Yrs 4-6. Within these year groups we have a huge range of ability, with several of our children working within NC Level One, and some of our more able children working at NC Level Five.
More...
We have been delighted that the children’s response has been overwhelmingly positive. It has succeeded in motivating some children who are experiencing real difficulty with Maths, as well as stretching some of our more able children.
Access to the teacher data has proved extremely useful and informative, and we see huge possibilities for using Maths Whizz both in school, and at home."Becky Dolby- Molson, Dawn Davies, Helen Coombs, teachers.

"I am a retired college lecturer and taught maths and science to engineering students. It's main attribute is the way in which young children are taught maths in such a way they do not realise their progress."

"All excellent. No problems at all. Clear icons, clear instructions, children took to it immediately. One of the best programmes for maths I have seen in recent years."

"Tutoring for schools makes homework fun! Our parents are having to limit the time children are logged on to it! We have had 100% positive feedback, parents are happy, children are enjoying learning and we are providing personalised learning and strengthening home/school links."
More...Margaret Taylor, Headteacher,
High Hesket CE Primary School

"[Maths-Whizz® Tutoring gives] confidence growth without the children actually knowing; they were learning as they participated. I personally think it's fab!! Anything that gets my own son who, incidentally, is one of our class pupils, to play Maths rather than Star Wars must be good."
More...Philippa Ramage, Gwinear Community Primary School
(15/07/2008)
"We spent a significant portion of our budget on the full range of Maths-Whizz® products and it has already proved to be excellent value."
More...Mrs. Parker, Maidenhall Junior School, Luton
(2008)
"We have mixed ability classes and Maths-Whizz® is used a lot. All the teachers really do like it, and they find the whole system very easy to use."
More...Mr. Hills,
Fairlight Primary School
(2008)
"We are so pleased with Maths-Whizz®, its brilliant. A real treat for the students AND teachers! The kids love the movement and colours. Many [of your] competitors feature still pictures, but the kids love the fact that it is animated - it really keeps their attention. It is very easy for the children to navigate and use. It is easy to access the material for different year groups - it all sits on the server so anyone can access the material for any year group. More talented children can use a higher year group, and those that are struggling - a lower one. The covers are clearly labelled making it very easy to find what you are looking for."
More...Jill Green, Cherrywood Community Primary School
(2008)
"The fact that it’s interactive (from a teacher’s planning point of view) means that is consolidates the children’s learning. The interactivity of it is excellent, to actually do maths concepts using the whiteboard is… superb."
More...Jill Green, Cherrywood Community Primary School
(2008)
"The impact of Maths-Whizz® on my resource students, K-5 was more than I had hoped for. During one school year, several students were able to be exited from an IEP for mathematics because they were able to demonstrate grade level standard after using Maths-Whizz® while several other students were able to pass the grade level WASL in maths.
More...
There are several contributing factors for this. Maths-Whizz® presents mathematical concepts, through animations, that capture and maintain students attention, allowing a brief teaching, then guided practice and then review of each concept. My students were able to verbalize strategies, practice computation and become proficient in applying mathematical concepts.
As far as I am concerned, all resource special ed students could only use Maths-Whizz® and learn what they need to learn! It is a fabulous program. Thank you for developing it."Teresa Belles, Everett School District, WA, USA
(2008)
"Maths-Whizz® is one of the most revolutionary maths software programs I have ever encountered. It has transformed not only students' ability to do mathematics but the excitement with which the students engage with the mathematics is extraordinary. I would highly recommend this program to any school district or parent without hesitation."
More...Maryann Stine, Curriculum Director, Everett School District, WA, USA
(2008)
"We have been using Maths-Whizz® for over a year and it has added an extra dimension to our maths program in our district; as a supplement in the classroom and as individual maths interventions in maths club before and after school... students enjoy getting extra assistance in maths."
More...Carmen Gonzales, Toppenish School District
(2008)
"Maths-Whizz® features very clear demonstrations and engaging animations. The students receive useful feedback when they get the wrong answer. They are able to practise and consolidate their understanding. It is motivational."
More...Jonathan Hadley, Highfields Primary School
(2008)
"The different learning styles of students is addressed and catered for by audio, visual and kinesthetic techniques. Teachers can plan lessons differently, to incorporate the use of MWTR and ICT. ICT was previously not used as frequently as it is now."
