The children in Room 4 are trialling Math-Whizz until week 4 in Term 4.
Each student has their own username and password. They began by doing an online assessment. Some students from Year 6 came into our room to help the students get into the programme.
Math-Whizz adapts to each child's individual needs and delivers lessons in line with their unique pace of learning. It provides lessons at the appropriate level of difficulty based upon prior performance. Each topic is covered with one learning objective at a time. Most learning objectives come with three-layered support:
1 A teaching page (which introduces the concept)
2 An interactive exercise (with help built in)
3 A test (to check for understanding)
The students were so excited about the programme and they are very keen to work on it both at school and at home.
Enjoy looking at the photos of the first day that they were introduced to Math-Whizz:
Jessica Bird is well and truly "in love" with Math-Whizz. She spent hours on it today. It is so cool to have a good interactive educational tool that kids can use in school and at home. Thank you Miss Brunning.
