When is the Term 4 Maths Challenge held?

Starts 12:00 am Sunday November 11th and ends 11:59:59 PM AEDT Saturday November 17th.

How does the Maths Challenge work?

Each week, the Maths Invaders Leaderboard calculates and displays in rank order, the total number of questions answered correctly for each class broken down by country, state and age group. At the end of the designated Maths Challenge week we will award Gold, Silver and Bronze class trophies to Australian schools on an age group basis. Since the results will be displayed on the Leaderboard classes ranking lower than a 1st, 2nd or 3rd position can still see their rank and celebrate accordingly.

What awards are there?

What about printed certificates?

Teachers and School Administrator can print Maths Challenge Certificates for their students after logging in and viewing the leaderboard for their school even if your school doesn’t place. They simply click on the icon next to the class!

In-school competition

The Leaderboard allows users who are logged in to see the ranking of classes within your school allowing you to recognize achievement in your local context as well.

Notes

1. We employ standard deviation filters to ensure that results that are atypical for a student are discounted and not used for the calculation of class results. This methodology assumes that each student will build their skills in a progressive manner and guards against the possibility of others with higher skill speeds artificially inflating a student’s result by working in their account.
