Secondary Maths - Year 8 to NCEA/Year 13
Going up into high school can be really scary. Making new friends, finding your way around, learning how to use text-books and lots more homework can be a real challenge.
So your children need all the help you can give them.
Maths Wiz is a structured course, written especially for NZ school children.
This means that your child is learning exactly what is needed to achieve success in school.
At Kinetic Education, we know that not all children are learning maths at the same pace.
Learning maths is like building a wall with building bricks of knowledge.
If some of these bricks are left out the wall will crumble in that the student loses confidence and starts guessing.
So it is really important to choose a program that thoroughly supports what is taught in NZ schools.
Most importantly, Kinetic Education supports the NCEA mathematics courses written to your state's curriculum. This is vital, because it gives the student the whole picture. So you can be completely prepared for exams and assessment tasks.
Kinetic Education students have achieved outstanding University Entrance scores.
"Level 4" in Maths Wiz is the work that is supposed to be completed and thoroughly understood by the time a student has finished primary school.
It is an Advanced Upper Primary course, and is not always fully covered in primary school. Students who do not master these topics, may get left behind and never make good progress in maths.
We find that our students develop their understanding very quickly and are able to progress and catch-up on the "Level 4" program, so that they are thoroughly prepared for more advanced work in school..
Maths Wiz is made for NZ kids, so you can be sure that your child is supported throughout their schooling.
"Level 5" Maths Wiz supports the first two years of secondary school. Also, it is essential revision for year 9 and 10 students. At this level students have to learn how to solve a maths problem and start on new topics, such as "algebra".
In secondary maths, you must learn how to write out your workings properlyin order to achieve good grades in maths.
"Level 6" Maths Wiz is the advanced secondary school work and should be achieved before commencing Year 11. This is more challenging work, and students need to understand algebra really well.
Tutorials are engaging and easy to understand and every lesson has a set of questions to reinforce learning. These questions are randomly picked from a pool of suitable questions, specially designed by our tutors and computer programmers.
Each question is immediately marked by the computer so that the student is never stuck.
Much better than school homework, where if you can’t do the first question, you tend to give up.
In the high school maths lessons the questions aren’t quick questions – they have several steps of workings. Every question in any lesson has a full explanation as well as a full solution.
This appears one step at a time, just like a tutor prompting you.
"I have been using the Kinetic program since the middle of last year.
It has been helping me a fair bit with my work especially with my maths.
I recommend the program to people of all ages and think it would help many people."

"Kinetic Education has helped me to be awarded one of my school's academic scholarships.
I have been able to learn and receive extra assistance without the worry of seeking this from elsewhere, and still be within the comfort of my home"."
