The countdown has begun. We are looking forward to promoting numeracy around the globe and setting a new world record with our totally free and safe online math contest on 3 March.

Students play at home and at school against other students around the world in live games of mental arithmetic. Each game lasts for 60 seconds and students can play up to 500 games during the official event, earning points for each correct question. You can now take part in World Maths Day via the iPhone and iPod Touch. The students who answer the most questions appear in the Hall of Fame.

Prizes will be awarded to the top students in each age category, ages 5-8, ages 9-13 and ages 14-18.

The student answering the highest number of questions correctly in each age group (5-8, 9-13, 14-18) will be the World Champion and receive a Minted Gold Medal.

This is a truly unique world event and a fantastic way to promote numeracy within your school. Past results show that students will make significant improvements in their mental arithmetic skills and have fun in the process.

World Maths Day was designed to encourage school and student participation in a fun and engaging online maths event. 3P Learning would like to thank all of the schools, teachers and students from around the world that participate.

Can we beat last year’s world record of 2 million students from 204 countries correctly answering 452,681,681 questions?

It is my honor to serve as Global Patron of World Maths Day 2010. I look forward to meeting the students, parents, and teachers from winning schools around the world.

Uniting the World in Numbers. I’m counting on you…
