World Maths Day is Here!

March 7 is World Maths Day. On the site, students play "at home and at school against other students around the world in live games of mental arithmetic. Each game lasts for 60 seconds and students can play up to 100 games, earning points for their personal tally. Students can play beyond 100 games during the event, but points will only count to the World Maths Day Mathometer, not their personal point score. The students who answer the most questions correctly will appear on the Hall of Fame. There are 5 levels of play, 20 games on each level."

The event includes students ages 4-18. You can register classes with up to 45 students. Parents can also register children at home. Sign up now. Games are currently open for practice. On March 7, points count toward the individual competition.

This is FUN! We tried it last year. As we watched, the system searched for kids around the world who wanted to play at the same level. Within seconds, my student was playing against children in two to three other countries. Amazing!
