Official Blog World Maths Day 2010

 World Maths Day has been created for 

students 5 – 18 years old. 

The official competition runs for 48 hours, for as long as it is

3 March somewhere in the world.

Sandy Beach is registered. 

Class teachers need to confirm their interest so I can upload individual students names. 

Practice can start as soon as registration is finalised.

Register from 1 February 2010

Registrations close 1 March 2010

Each student is limited to a maximum of 500 games (each game lasts 60 seconds) during the 48 hour period. 

Prizes will be awarded to the top students in each age category, ages 5-8, ages 9-13 and ages 14-18. Even teachers and parents will want to take part! There has been a new category added this year.

Each game lasts 60 seconds and 1 point per correct answer is awarded.

Students play at home and at school against other students around the world in live games of mental arithmetic. A 2010 app will soon be available for students to use on their iPods and iTouchs. Students who answer the most questions appear in the Hall of Fame. Students cannot select their level but will be moved to higher levels up as they progress.

This is a truly unique world event and a fantastic way to promote numeracy within your school. Past results show that students will make significant improvements in their mental arithmetic skills and have fun in the process.

..and it's absolutely free of charge
