Your kids will enjoy improving their maths skills with this very clever online " tutoring " system!

Whizz.com has very kindly offered Activity Village visitors half price on their first month's subscription to this excellent program. See how to claim your reduction below.

If you are worried about your children getting bored and losing some of their newly-learned skills over the holidays, I can personally recommend a subscription to Maths-Whizz or Math-Whizz.

This is a program my daughter joined a couple of years ago when she had lost her confidence in maths at school, and I have raved about it to all-and-sundry ever since. There is even a special summer program, too, which was run for the first time last year with great success. Please go and have a look at the website, details of the summer program, an article on summer learning loss, and especially this segment from a Seattle television show which gives a really good overview of the system - I really can't recommend Maths-Whizz highly enough!

I am also delighted to say that they have agreed to give Activity Village referrals half price on the first month's fees - just type "activityvillage" into the referral box on the final payment page, and your fee will be recalculated).
