Failsworth School Specialist Sports College - 11-16 Secondary Education

Uniting the World in Numbers!

This is going to be a big year for South Africa, not only is it hosting the 2010 Football World Cup but it’s also the host for World Maths Day 2010! Failsworth School is hoping to be a part of the action...

'Johannesburg has been awarded the prestigious title of host city for this year’s World Maths Day to be held on 3 March and it looks to be bigger and better than ever!’

Last year a new world record was once again set with 452,681,681 questions answered correctly in 48 hours. A staggering 1,952,879 million students registered and 38,058 schools participated from 204 countries!

During 'Mathletics Week' at the end of term last year, pupils answered 386,352 questions correctly! Can we exceed that target on World Maths Day?

Passwords will be emailed out from the 1st of February for pupils and staff to compete against each other during the 'warm up'. Details will follow regarding the competition which commences on Tuesday 2nd March for 48 hours (During this time it will be the 3rd March somewhere in the world).
