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:
To be fair, the debate over the relative benefits of whiteboards and blackboards is not one that the Gods of Math-Whizz have been following closely of late.
Some interesting educational research findings from ScienceDaily, and reported over at the UK Whizz Blog.
Summarized for your reading pleasure:
Learning with different mathematical methods, using old and new media, and with a teacher to tie it all together, gets the best results.
And so you have it! Math-Whizz has a huge variety of material, encourages pencil-and-paper methods, and facilitates parent-student-teacher communication. A no-brainer.
