Breaking News from World Maths Day

 On March 5th, more than three-quarters of a million students participated in World Math Day and set a new world record for the most math questions answered in a day. By participating in the competition to answer the most math questions correctly, students from more than 100 countries answered a total of 182,455,169 questions, quickly eclipsing this year's 50 million question goal and shattering last year's record of 38,904,275. This extraordinary response had a downside, however.  During the last few days, we closely monitored the large volume of students logging on to www.worldmathday.com  to ensure every child had a chance to compete.  But, because of the overwhelming number of students on the site, some students were not able to participate fully. Our site was simply not prepared to handle so many students on the site at once.

   Most of you had success with the website during the competition, but a number of you did not. We are deeply sorry for your students not being able to participate fully in the competition.  Because of this, we are offering full access to www.worldmathday.com for all participants.  Next week, we will also be providing details on how you will be able to access VmathLive (www.vmathlive.com) FREE through May 15.
