Launching in Spring/Summer this year, Math-Whizz 2.0 is the result of over 18 months worth of research, planning and development to both migrate the Math-Whizz lessons from flash to HTML5 (an essential with the imminent demise of flash), and the improvements we’ve made to the student experience to ensure our students are engaged and motivated to learn through our online math tutor, Math-Whizz.
Over the last couple of weeks we’ve been in the user testing phase of the HTML version of Math-Whizz. The response has been overwhelmingly positive! One of our tester school Headteachers reported that the students were ‘buzzing’ – not the usual response to a school math lesson! Some students even wanted to stay on during break and lunchtime to do more…yes, more!

Why go to all this trouble?
We’ve known for some time that the days of flash are numbered, and we have committed to making every corner of Math-Whizz mobile and tablet-friendly. The migration project has presented us with an opportunity to not just migrate our existing lessons but to enhance and develop the whole experience – Math-Whizz needs to not only function well on all devices and be educationally powerful, but also to use the latest design technology for maximum effect.
“I really don’t like math at all, but I love Math-Whizz” (student at one of our tester schools last month)
As any student on Math-Whizz will tell you, there is more to the online experience than the lessons alone. Over the past fifteen years, more than a million students have immersed themselves in a rich learning environment that includes everything from rewards systems and virtual pets to leader boards and challenge modes.
We have worked tirelessly with our users, inviting students into Whizz Towers, visiting schools globally, listening to our fellow Whizzers to understand their needs, preferences, and vision for future learning. There was clearly a need to improve, and we have fully embraced and committed to the whole redevelopment process.
