Get your game on with Math-Whizz this summer - the famous Whizz Adventure is now available!!
The challenge (if you’re up for it) - Help the Whizz Professor find his way out the jungle. You’ll be racing the clock while solving math puzzles, exploring mazes and finding your way out of tricky situations. Every level you complete unlocks a new piece of the story!
Log in to your Math-Whizzaccount to get started, or visit the Math-Whizz start page, create a free account and – if you like the look of Math-Whizz (we are confident you will) – sign up! Complete a few lessons to earn credits so you can go on the adventure!
Access the summer adventure by clicking the postcard that lands on your Whizz Bedroom doormat. This will load the Summer Adventure experience.
This year’s Winter Adventure is live for Math-Whizzers!
Log into your Math-Whizz student account and check it out. For the first time ever all Math-Whizzers can try our Holiday Adventure. If you’re not a Math-Whizz user then there’s no reason not to give it a try.
Register for afree math tutoring account and get access to five free lessons and a taste of the figgy-pudding seasonal fun we have in store.
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:
Actually, that’s a lie. Everyone knows that you need math, physics, a superhuman control of natural forces and an MPA (Masters in Polytheism Administration) to become a weather god.
Even so, with a few powerful math algorithms, you can at least get a sense of the power your common-or-garden master of the elements possesses, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
The Thunderstorm Environment Strike Probability Algorithm, or THESPA, is a radar-based system which uses mathematical data to estimate strike probability in a defined area as a storm starts to build or move.
Developed by Sandy Dance at the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research, it can produce ”nowcasts” for up to one hour ahead.
”Based on probability, we can be far more confident in estimating the … geographic point where the thunderstorm is likely to strike,” Dr Dance said. ”It will prove invaluable in helping forecasters with risk assessment and emergency decision-making.”
Predicting where lightning might strike - yet another reason to get busy with our powerful online math tutor.
Build those math skills and be the envy of your weather-afflicted neighbors as you batten down the hatches in anticipation of the next storm.
