World+Math+Day+2013

=**World Math Day 2013 **=

Background:  The World Education Games is an annual global online challenge to get all students (4-18 years of age) excited about learning, and to give the top students in all schools an opportunity to see how they measure up against the best in the world. Last year, over 5 million students were a part of what is now the world’s largest online education event. It’s a live worldwide math competition for students.

Purpose: This is a fun day of friendly competition and it gives students the drive to practice, and get fast, at math fact and math fact recall.


 * Conclusions: ** Students had fun engaging in a collaborative competition. They suggested that more gaming type activities are integrated to “make their brain think.”
