NZ Schools are invited to join the Aussies to celebrate the Australian Numeracy and Literacy Week by participating in an online Maths and Spelling Challenge. Schools can register online at www.mathletics.co.nz/challenge

“More than 100,000 students in over 2000 schools across Australia and New Zealand will participate in real-time battles of mental arithmetic and spelling using the renowned Mathletics and Spellodrome eLearning products which are currently used by more than 500,000 students in over 10 countries.

As well as enabling students to have fun, the Maths and Spelling Challenge aims to improve students’ literacy and numeracy skills significantly by engaging students and empowering them to strive for their personal best. The Maths and Spelling Challenge carries on 3P Learning’s tradition of organising and hosting compelling events. Late last year more than 150,000 students were united for the Trans-Tasman Challenge where students correctly answered over 2.5 million questions using Mathletics, registering average improvement rates of 76%.”
