Kinia

Numeracy Programme

Kinia’s aim is to support children from disadvantaged settings to realise their rights and achieve their full potential through education.

In the Irish context, its interventions have focused on the development of core literacy and numeracy skills targeting those at high risk of school failure – struggling learners in designated disadvantaged DEIS schools.

Numeracy Development

We support numeracy development through our Maths-Whizz Programme, which offers primary schools access to the Maths-Whizz platform.

Each year, a limited number of fully funded licences are available for schools to take advantage of this valuable resource.
Whizz Education’s Education Success Partner is in touch weekly with the data for our schools and we have meetings on a termly basis.

Numeracy Support Teacher Feedback

“I love how I can check each individual time and progressions. If they are not making progressions I can look into it with them”

Numeracy Support Teacher Feedback

“The constant reinforcement of topics throughout the year was a great help eg. Even when we moved on from weight topic in class teaching the children were constantly encountering weight questions in Maths Whizz”

Numeracy Support Teacher Feedback

“Maths-Whizz facilitated station teaching in maths as it could be used as a station. When teaching topics I could select what topic and which students would do it on Maths-Whizz. It reinforced new information and learning, it added a new voice to listen to, rather than my voice re maths. It allowed me to look at progress or lack of progress without using class tests, which can be very off-putting for nervous students”
