World's Math Day - Mar. 4, 2009

Today is the day to get students doing as much math online at www.worldmathsday.com as possible. Teachers who registered students for this contest were sent emails stating that a day before the contest, they could no longer register new students. Competition begins at different times in different time zones in the world. The company sent teachers Activity Ideas for the classroom and school. These included such things as creating a giant school graph of each class's progress, run teacher vs. student challenges, and making a large world map of countries the students have challenged. Its an exciting day if students can get online and do this contest. The link to the activities is as follows: http://worldmathsday.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2b428d47e0776e970d57d0b65&id=b085ac07ca&e=6bd3398b83

Students can get a Gold Certificate if they answer 1000 questions during the challenge. It is a very motivating math and computer activity.
