In time for Hallowe’en, a spooky theme has been added to the Math-Whizz bedroom!
Students logging into our online math tutor this weekend through Tuesday will get a seasonal treat with a rolling pumpkin head, cobwebbed corners, and rolls of thunder beyond the window.
Whizzers can get a fright with some of our witch-themed measures lessons, ghoulish multiplication questions, and goblin-infested graphing problems. It’s all in Math-Whizz, with over 1200 more animated games to teach (nearly) every math objective under the clouded moon this weekend.
Have a happy Hallowe’en, and may your treat for 2009 be all the tasty maths skills you need!
In the meantime, check out this ghostly math lesson from an inspired teacher who takes some serious time with lesson preparation:
With Challenge, students can use their math skills to take on all-comers from across the globe. We have thousands of Maths-Whizz students in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Australasia.
Until yesterday, Maths-Whizzers had to share maths skills and a lesson history with one of their limited buddy list. Now the Maths-Whizz system automatically locates students with similar skills profiles to be challenged on completed lessons.
If you’re the parent of a Math-Whizzer, our latest feature will be perfect for helping you motivate your student, encourage some healthy competition, and boost their confidence in maths. Parents or teachers won’t need to worry about confidentiality, Whizzers cannot post comments to other challengers.
One thing to remember - with new Challenge we now only award credits for improving lesson scores or times in Replay. If you’re already scoring 100% with a fast time, it’s time to try another one of our 1200 animated math lessons.
How do you work out how to play the opening chord of ‘A Hard Day’s Night’? Use Math, of course!
This is interesting research from the bleeding-edge interface of hard math and pop culture. The research, reported by William Weir, seems to show that the hitherto mysterious opening chord of this classic pop song can be identified, thanks to mathematician Jason Brown:
Reported in the Dallas Morning News, Texas high-school students have improved their math SAT scores this year, but have slipped back in reading and writing.
This is great news. Every teacher knows the foundations for literacy and numeracy are laid down in elementary school.
The combination of Lego, the obsession of this writer’s early years, and math, the preoccupation of his working days, means there IS ONLY ONE GIFT that I will consider this year - the Lego Calculator. (via Rex - site not always suitable for minors).
We suggest young, aspiring mathematicians everywhere do the following:
- Buy Lego to build whole new worlds out of plastic bricks;
- Subscribe to Math-Whizz to learn the most important skills you’ll ever need;
- Use your ‘Building Blocks Calculator‘ to calculate the trajectory of your Mars rocket when you’re a top-notch scientist and pioneering astronaut in twenty-five years’ time.
