MATHS lessons are providing a great business opportunity.

The Whizz Education business, of Ditton Park Road, Datchet, has gone from strength to strength and now its Maths Whizz Teachers’ Resource – a software package dedicated to teaching maths in the core curriculum – is stocked in 2,000 schools across the UK. The company has also won the BETT 2006 award in recognition of the Maths Whizz Teachers’ Resource as the leading interactive maths resource for Key Stages 1 and 2 in the UK.

Bob Gardener, headteacher at Priory School, Orchard Drive, Burnham, said: “It is stimulating, powerful, motivational and follows the latest thinking on maths teaching, as well as being suitable for children of all ages.”
