Get your calculator fingers ready and start working math problems! With the different time zones, the World Maths Day challenge actually started at 6:00 this morning! I guess New Zealand is AHEAD of us in time because it is already March 4 in New Zealand!
So start working problems. You will be participating in an event that includes 1,575,000 students from 26,000 schools representing over 200 countries! Good luck!
I came back to school today (I had a meeting in the morning) and one of the first things students approached me about was their latest accomplishment on the World Maths Day challenge. How exciting to be a math teacher and have students coming to tell me that they have answered over 1000 math questions correct! (or more in many cases AND during their own time) I am so glad to see them so excited about this challenge. No doubt that their math fluency is improving!
Students have been working hard to reach our question benchmarks, so I promised students that I would put a new update on scores. Here they are:
