"But how?" you ask. "It's not March 3rd yet!" It's March 3rd somewhere in the world, though, and the competition exists across the world GMT, so students ages 5 through 18 can play each other until it is no longer March 3rd anywhere. As of this blog post there are 41,580 participants online and over 128,948,000 correct answers! It looks like World Maths Day's goal of breaking last year's record of 452,681,681 correct answers is well under way. So far Avalon Elementary's 3rd grade class is leading the age 5-8 classroom category with 119,934 correct answers and Cypress Creek High School is rocking the age 14-18 classroom category. Even cooler, though, is the fact that students from all over the world are uniting in the name of math. We can't wait to see the final results of World Maths Day.]]> http://www.dreambox.com/blog/world-maths-day-off-and-running/feed 0 Celebrate World Maths Day…the DreamBox Way! http://www.dreambox.com/blog/celebrate-world-math-daythe-dreambox-way http://www.dreambox.com/blog/celebrate-world-math-daythe-dreambox-way#comments Fri, 13 Feb 2009 23:12:07 +0000 Tracy http://www.dreambox.com/blog/?p=1553 word+maths+dayMathletes, human calculators, and DreamBoxers get ready!]]> word+maths+dayMathletes, human calculators, and DreamBoxers get ready! World Maths Day, (math is known as maths outside of the U.S.) is coming up on March 4. Students from across the globe will add, subtract, and multiply to gold-medal glory. Please register your class or child and help World Math Day beat last year’s record of 182, 445, 169 questions answered correctly.

World Maths Day Rules:

The 48-hour event is open to anyone ages 5 to 18. Students play opponents from around the globe in real time. Each math game lasts 60 seconds and they can play as many games as they wish. Competition is fierce but fair – math problems match the player’s age and skill level. Registration is open (and free), but students should register as early as possible to practice. Individuals, homeschoolers, and entire classes can compete. High-achievers earn prizes: coveted spots in the Hall of Fame, minted gold medals, or certificates. Every child receives a digital certificate just for playing.
