In the past, we've run seasonal challenges for you so that schools' are encouraged to increase student ST Math usage. However, we know one size doesn't fit all but we don't want you to start from scratch when building your own ST Math Usage Challenge. So, we’re featuring three of our most popular national challenges to inspire you and get your creative juices flowing for your own challenge strategy!
Participating in fun challenges like March Mathness is an excellent way to increase motivation and celebrate your school's love of problem-solving. It's also a great way to practice grade-level math concepts in a friendly and fun competition.
Create your own bracket or download our March Mathness bracket and list each class that is participating in the challenge. Whoever receives the most puzzles for that week will advance to the next round. Weekly puzzle data can easily be found in your ST Math Educator Console.
Keep us updated on your progress by tweeting a photo of your bracket or posting it on Instagram. Just make sure to tag @STMath and use the hashtag #MarchMathness.
Participating in fun challenges like the ST Math Winter Puzzle Challenge is an excellent way to increase intrinsic motivation and celebrate your school's love of problem-solving.
Participating in the ST Math Winter Puzzle Challenge is quick and easy! Just follow these three simple steps:
1. Sign in to your ST Math Administrator account.
2. Navigate to the Usage Tab
3. If your weekly puzzle average is 50 or above, take a screenshot of your dashboard and post it to Twitter or Instagram. Make sure to include @STMath AND #STMathWinterChallenge
With the beginning of the new school year, it’s a good time to consider new approaches to accelerate student learning so they can continue to build those schemas. Throughout the fall season, encourage your students to spend at least 60 minutes per week on ST Math.
