Victoria University Evaluation

Victoria University School of Education is happy to announce that the Maths Wiz online program is now available to students in the School of Education. VUSE students are encouraged to make use of the Maths Wiz computer programs, to improve their understanding of mathematics and how to teach it.

The programs were developed by Kinetic Education in Melbourne and are especially designed to help young Australians gain an in-depth understanding of mathematical principles. The program uses the power of the computer to make maths really simple to understand. Because it is interactive and fun, children take up the challenge and learn surprisingly rapidly. They find the program very engaging and gain confidence in themselves. Yet Maths Wiz is not a game. It is a structured course, supporting all the topics which are essential to Primary and Secondary school.

Maths Wiz is a very easy way to learn maths, without embarrassment or pressure. It has been widely used for home-study, without teacher support. In the classroom, the program allows students to work at their own pace. Weak students can catch up and stronger students may forge ahead.
