We are happy to announce a new series of posts that will help you better understand and utilize the countless Math-Whizz features by highlighting and guiding you through some of our video tutorials. A portion of the tutorials will be targeted towards specific audiences, while others will prove helpful for all those who come in contact with Math-Whizz – from those just looking to experienced Math-Whizzers – there will be something for everyone.
So, to get things started let us take a deeper look into just how the Math-Whizz tutor works to deliver such an engaging and personalized learning environment.
“How the Tutor Works” is presented by our London based CEO, Richard Marett.
As you can see, after initially completing the assessment, the tutor begins tailoring Math-Whizz to each student; the math lessons and online games are completely customized to the child with the intention of boosting the students’ overall Math Age™. Content is aligned with Common Core as well as encompassing many individual State standards. The more than 1200 math lessons are delivered using interactive and entertaining math games that not only engage each student, but make them excited and motivated to learn. Math-Whizz recognizes that these lessons, while incredible teaching tools, are not always representative of testing situations students experience in school, and thus delivers short assessments at the end of lessons when appropriate. This not only ensures success in the classroom, but total comprehension of a mathematical concept as well.
