This has been a very powerful program for students in our "extended day" intervention program. We have many students who were reluctant to do math who cannot wait to work on their skills in Math Whizz! Several students are suddenly seeing gains in math tests in class...students previously perceived as behind or unmotiovated. Math Whizz has changed several students mathematical careers!
