Key Stage 2

Maths-Whizz for Key Stage 2 covers all National Numeracy Strategy objectives and Primary Framework Blocks for Years 3 through 6.

Maths-Whizz lessons for KS2 are a presented as a mix of both visual and text elements.

  • While narration is provided where needed, some lessons challenge the student to solve the problem without the aid of a voice-over.
     
  • Visuals in KS2 are more sophisticated and complex. Most emulate the type of imagery children see in books, films and on television. Some humour and physical comedy is introduced.
     
  • Exercises in this Key Stage are still easy to understand, but are more advanced than in KS1. Solving the exercises may involve a higher level of interaction with the subject matter. As well, the questions are somewhat longer and more complex than in the earlier stage.
     
  • On-screen help is still aimed at promoting success, but does so by encouraging the child to take a fresh look at the problem and reaching a successful conclusion.
     
  • Successful completion of Maths-Whizz for KS2 gives students a solid foundation for success in Key Stage 2 SATs and promotion to KS
