World Math(s) Day 2011 - March 1st
The annual world mental arithmetic challenge is back! March 1st is World Math(s) Day.
Teachers can sign up their classes, homeschoolers and parents may register their children also. There are levels for ages 4-18 and your kids can help set a new world record of one billion correctly answered questions!
Kids have 48 hours (as long as it is March 1st somewhere in the world) to complete up to 100, 60 second math games. Students who answer the most questions correctly will be listed in the hall of fame.
Jealous of your children’s math fun? This year there is an adult category too (ages 19-119).
There is also the option to turn this into an easy fundraiser with 50% of the earnings going to your school and 50% to UNICEF. Download a fundraising pack for more information.
Register now to participate. It’s FREE!!
PS. If math isn’t your thing, how about joining World Spelling Day on March 3, 2011?
NOTE: Registration closes the day before on the 28th of February; however, registration is unneeded if already registered for Mathletics, Spellodrome, VmathLive or World Spelling Day as the registration for those will work for World Maths Day.

Just a note that registration closes the day before on the 28th of February; however, registration is unneeded if already registered for Mathletics, Spellodrome, VmathLive or World Spelling Day as the registration for those will work for World Maths Day.
My eldest really likes Mathletics and is looking forward to taking part in World Maths Day, my second is considering it (though she’s turning 4 only 2 days beforehand so I’m not so sure about it).

Thank you so much Pearl! I have added the information to my post (guess I should have checked for a deadline). I’ll have to check out those other programs as they are new to me. I have put links to them in the post, they sound fun!
