Parent FAQs

Yes, each child needs their own subscription in order to use Math-Whizz. Math-Whizz is personalized to each child, so sharing an account will affect the Tutor’s ability to deliver lessons tailored to a child’s specific needs.

Each lesson is worth up to 15 credits, while each exam is worth up to 30 credits. You can earn up to 10 credits for beating your original score and time in Replay mode. Credits can be spent in the Whizz Shop.

You need to clear your web browser’s ‘cache’ or ‘history.’ This is sometimes referred to as ‘temporary internet files’ and are often found under the preferences or options menu in your browser.

Math-Whizz is most effective when children use Tutor mode for 60 minutes per week, in 3-4 sessions of 15-20 minutes each. Students needing an extra boost can benefit from using Tutor mode for up to 90 minutes each week.

Only the time spent in Tutor Mode and Replay is counted as usage. The tutorial part of the lesson is not counted as usage, the time starts when the student is asked the first question in each lesson. Students must complete the entire lesson or test for the usage to be recorded and displayed in their report.

As students work through their curriculum, Math-Whizz responds immediately – keeping students on track and progressing.
