Mathletics

Recently in 8O, our class competed in the Canadian Math Challenge 2010 hosted by Mathletics.ca.  Although none of our students or classes placed in the top echelon in this challenge (I blame it on a late sign up, which made us skip the practice week!), it was a lot of fun to participate in.

It seemed as if all of our students enjoyed the Challenge, and mathletics in general.  It was always a big hit when we could head down to the lab and race students from around the globe.

Several students really got into it and spent considerable time competing at home.  As a result of their dedication, they were able to make some pretty cool looking avatars, some of them gained bronze certificates, and oh yeah, their math skills improved.

Prizes will be awarded tomorrow for top point getters!
