The largest online global maths event in the world – and it’s free
World Maths Day is a FREE online maths event which Unites the World in Numbers! It is the largest online global maths event and world record breaking in the number of correct maths questions answered over a 48 hour period!
In 2009 World Maths Day was a huge success with almost 2 million young people from 200 countries competing over 48 hours to successfully answer 452,681,681 maths questions correctly.
How the event works
Students sign into www.worldmathsday.com and play a 60 second live mental arithmetic game against someone else in the world, of the same age, who is playing at the same time. Each student will play 500 games over the 48 hour period. They gain points for every correct answer and the highest scores go onto a live leaderboard. It is hugely motivating for students and schools will collapse their normal timetable to host the World Maths Day event in their schools. We are looking for the top student in each age category, top school and top classes.
World Maths Day 2010 is set to be our biggest event to date, involving more than 2.5 million young people from across the globe competing against each other in Live Maths games in real time.
We hope to have all countries of the world represented and over 40,000 schools involved.
