We’ve partnered up with three superstars to bring you the biggest national online maths challenge of the year!
It’s all about celebrating and rewarding student growth. All teachers with students in grades 3 to 12 can join.
Over three weeks students from across the nation will work hard to solve maths problems and show their growth. Learning new things might be enougn of an incentive for some, but there are also some great prizes to add a little extra motivation. Every week the top 10 classes will win a pizza party! At the end, three lucky classes will win an exclusive maths lesson with one of three prominent figures.
