Testimonials and Feedback


"Well done on a fantastic first novel. Quick thinking Will has invigorated my interest in math and inspired me to review those important math concepts that, as a citizen of Brisbane, I feel a duty to know just in case our city is threatened to be destroyed by well-armed and psychopathic terrorists. Or perhaps the more likely (or ongoing) invasion of politicians and current affairs news persons using dodgy statistics to exploit those with math gaps!"
- Matthew Garratt, award winning vocational educator

"I liked how creative the workshop is and how you guys made the lesson in several parts, so you have many different things all contributing to the same topic of 'Saving the City'.

Hands on; engaging more students; very well organized and prepared; great for students to use equipment that we don’t have at school; time of session was great; good relationships with students.

It was simple and straight to the point; wasn’t full of tedious garbage; It took a different and innovative approach to math problems, and was really enjoyable."
- Math Thrills Workshop Attendees
"I have been struggling in maths all my life as I missed out on the basics in primary school as a result of changing schools. I would like to take this time just too sincerely thankyou for going out of your way to produce something that has and will help people, like myself, who have been struggling. You have given me new found energy to wake up in the morning and go to school and maths in particular. Thankyou."
- Michael, student
"Brilliant, very exciting, and much-needed. I don't know of anything around at the moment that promotes maths to teenagers as recreation."
- Merryn, maths editor
"With a young boy, I'd like him to be able to read and learn interesting concepts in a fun way. I'm glad that someone is doing what you're doing - keep up the good work!"
- Duy, father of school student
"What a great combination – a thriller fiction & maths!"
- Kickstarter backer
"“I was interested to hear about your Math Thrills initiative and how it aims to incorporate maths learning in exciting and challenging stories and games. Your recent successes and publicity are a testament to Math Thrills’ potential, and I wish you all the best in this endeavour” "
