Teachers

Because Math-Whizz is so great for supporting children with different needs, the teaching staff really appreciate this as an appropriate tool to enable them to achieve improved learning outcomes.

Of our children using Math-Whizz for more than 45 minutes per week, 75% have made accelerated progress. The average improvement across the whole school is an increase in Math Age (a bit like Reading Age) is 17 weeks, achieved with just 11 weeks’ use so far.

Math-Whizz pitches learning at the right level. It tests understanding and gets children to practice math topics where they need extra support. We also have lots of motivated children at Brisley and they can really get ahead if they put in the time.

We have found Math-Whizz to be an interactive, engaging and motivating way of getting children into math and enjoying the process of improving their learning. The feedback the system provided for teachers is excellent too, so you can really support those areas of weakness in class also.

Children are excited to go and complete their sessions of Math-Whizz both inside and outside of school. Math-Whizz has been one of the successful introductions we have made, which has helped raise our end of KS2 mathematics results to above the national average.

For the students, the virtual tutor itself is fun and engaging. They like the bright colours and avatars. It also automatically pitches work at the right level for the individual covering all the elements of the curriculum, enabling them to make progress tailored to their own pace and ability.

Maths-Whizz is brilliant because it differentiates learning. The virtual tutor initially assesses each child and pitches lessons at their level across a range of topics covering the whole math curriculum. We also use Math-Whizz in class, so we can all be working on the same topic, but each pupil can make progress at their own rate. This is really helpful in a class with a range of abilities.

The use of Whizz Education’s award-winning virtual tutor Math-Whizz has enabled us to assess and identify precisely where the knowledge gaps are and now empowers our teachers to step in and provide more support and resources so children can hit targets. Rather than a bolt-on, Math-Whizz has already become integral to our teaching of the curriculum.

“Inchicore NS teachers were excited to confirm that thanks to Whizz Education's artificial intelligence tutor, Math-Whizz, the children's math knowledge was 20% ahead of where they would normally be at the end of the autumn term, having accelerated their learning and supported them in catching up on some of the learning loss experienced during the pandemic."

“We use Math-Whizz in the classroom and also set for homework too. Math-Whizz enables each child to learn at their own pace. Its algorithm pinpoints any areas where individuals are struggling and reinforces learning on that topic. During the lockdowns it was really helpful as children could access Math-Whizz from home to continue with their learning journey.
