From the team here at 3P learning we want to wish Diocesan School For Girls the best of luck for the upcoming NZ Maths Challenge. This is one of the few times this year when students from all around NZ will be vying to be top of the Mathletics leader board.
It’s a fantastic chance for your students to try and top the Hall of Fame and show the country how amazing your class is – just remember two crucial dates:
- Monday the 25th of August is the start of the Week-long Class Challenge
- Wednesday the 27th of August at 7am is the start of the Single-day Student Challenge.
This year the event will be run using the existing Mathletics website, so we’ve put together this email to highlight a few details around the Challenge.
The Challenges
As the event will be run using the existing Mathletics website your students' current logins and accounts will work fine. It also means that students can participate in the Challenge via iPad and selected Android tablets - but they must use the on-line mode.
Single-day Student Challenge
Time frame: Starts 7am Wednesday the 27th of August and goes for exactly 24 hours.
Hall of Fame: Students can monitor the top 100 students by using the NZ Hall of Fame on the front page of Mathletics.
Points: The aim of the game is to earn as many points as possible. Students can earn points towards the Challenge via Live Mathletics and Curriculum activities (see below).
Week-long Class Challenge
Time frame: Starts 7am Monday the 25th of August and goes for exactly 7 days
Hall of Fame: Students can monitor the top 50 classes by using the NZ Hall of Fame on the front page of Mathletics.
Points: All points earned during the week will go towards the Class Challenge - this includes points earned during the Single-day Student Challenge.
How the Points Work
There are two ways in which your students can gain points for the Challenge: Live Mathletics and Curriculum activities.
Live Mathletics
The Live race component of Mathletics.
Students receive a point for every question they answer correctly.
Students can choose to race against members of their own class, their school or around the world. Students can earn as many points as they want from Live Mathletics.
The Awards
Top 25 students in NZ will receive a commemorative NZMC trophy
Top 100 students will receive commemorative NZMC certificate and maths legend bangles
Top 25 classes will receive a commemorative NZMC class trophy (1 per class) and student certificates.
Bronze certificates and avatars
The NZMC is also a great opportunity for your students to get back into the groove of winning Bronze certificates.
Otherwise, from the team here at 3P Learning we want to wish your school the best of luck with the upcoming Challenge!
Good Luck and have fun!
The NZ Maths Challenge Team
