World Maths Day (World Math Day in American English) is an online international mathematics competition, powered by Mathletics (a learning platform from 3P Learning, the same organisation behind Reading Eggs and Mathseeds). [1] Smaller elements of the wider Mathletics program effectively power the World Maths Day event.

Contents

The first World Maths Day started in 2007. [2] Despite these origins, the phrases "World Maths Day" and "World Math Day" are trademarks, and not to be confused with other competitions such as the International Mathematical Olympiad or days such as Pi Day. In 2010, World Maths Day created a Guinness World Record for the Largest Online Maths Competition. [3] [4]

The World Maths Day 2024 has been delayed to better align with school calendars across the globe. [5]

Overview

Open to all school-aged students (4 to 18 years old), World Maths Day involves participants playing 20 × 60-second games, with the platform heavily based on "Live Mathletics" found in Mathletics. The contests involve mental maths problems appropriate for each age group, which test the accuracy and speed of the students as they compete against other students across the globe.

The simple but innovative idea of combining the aspects of multi-player online gaming with maths problems has contributed to its popularity around the world. There will be 10 Year group divisions for students to compete in from Kindergarten to Year 9 and above.

An online Hall of Fame will track points throughout the competition with prizes to be awarded to the top students and schools. [6] The Champions Challenge is a new addition to the 2021 competition. Top Year/Grade 9 and above World Maths Day student come together to compete in a knockout tournament. As part of the challenge, students will have their event live streamed, bringing mathematics and Esports together. [7]

History

The inaugural World Maths Day was held on March 13, 2007. 287,000 students from 98 countries answered 38,904,275 questions. The student numbers and the participating countries have steadily increased in the following years.

In 2009, 1.9 million students took part in World Maths Day.

In 2011, World Maths Day sets a Guinness World Record for the Largest Online Maths Competition, [8] with almost 500 million maths questions answered during the event.

In 2012, 3P Learning launched the World Education Games. Over 5.9 Million students from 240 Countries and Territories around the world registered to take part, with World Maths Day being the biggest attraction. In 2013, it was held between 5–7 March and the awards were presented at the Sydney Opera House to the Champions.

In 2015, there were participants from 150 countries. US, UK and Australia all had over 1 million registrations.

The 2019 World Maths Day event was combined with a social media competition, where students around the world were encouraged to dress up in a maths-themed outfit to celebrate maths. Entries included famous mathematicians, an aerial shot of students forming a pi symbol, and human calculators. [9]

In 2022, World Maths Day celebrates 15 years in the making.

Awards

A number of awards are offered to the students who take part and for those who do well in the event. Additionally the champions and the top ten students in the world are awarded gold medals every year.

There are also a number of national lead-up events in different regions around the world which are also based on the Mathletics format.
