This is the first year I have done World Math Day with my students, and I won't miss it again. In just the few short weeks we've been practicing, I have seen the fluency of the basic skills of my math students (even the advanced ones) improve dramatically. Just as World Math Day activities address math skills, the geography has been such an added bonus. I hate to see World Math Day events coming to an end, but we will be celebrating on March 4 and writing our reflections through the week. Thanks for sharing about this great event.
Hi Lee. My class participated in World Maths Day for the 1st time last year, and we ended up winning a whole year's Mathletics licence for the class. My students loved it!
I've just changed schools and all of our Years 3-7 students have a Mathletics login which is great.
