School Mathethon Our school is organizing a Mathethon fundraiser and math awareness event. The aim of the event is to raise money for the school and help children learn number skills, while getting excited about mathematics. 100 % of all money raised goes to the school. Each child is given a number skill to focus on by their teacher. Children can then practice at home by visiting www. smartkiddies. com. au and clicking on the MATHETHON link.( or by using printed worksheets supplied by the school). At the completion of the practice period the children participate at school in a two-minute challenge. The aim is to answer as many questions correctly in two minutes as possible.
Fundraising element; Students are asked to get sponsors for the number of questions they will answer correctly during the two minute challenge. They are sponsored on a‘ per question answered correctly’ basis.( e. g. 10 cents sponsored per correct answer and 25 correct answers achieved, then the sponsor pays 10 x 12 = $ 2.50)
Expected results; Results for children vary greatly. However, it is estimated that most children will achieve a score of between 20 to 50 in two minutes. The maximum amount for a speedy mathematition is about 100 correct responses. You’ ll get a good guide of how many correct responses your child can achieve by watching them practise at home on www. smartkiddies. com. au
