Can't contain your excitement for the new school year?
Neither can we! We always view back to school season as a fresh start—and an ideal time to get students excited about all of the math learning they're about to do! If you need some fun activities to get your students and you in a mathematical state of mind, read on.
So many of our ST Math educators share how they create JiJi culture in their classrooms on social media—and we love it! For this back to school season, we want to up the ante. If you've created a space in your classroom for a little ST Math and/or JiJi inspiration, we want to see it! You might even win a prize. Here's how it works!
The contest begins August 24 and we'll announce three winners on Friday, October 22. To enter:
Do you have a JiJi plushie, standee, or any other JiJi swag ? Take a selfie with your favorite JiJi item and tag us on Twitter and Instagram—be sure to include #STMathB2S. We'll feature submissions by retweeting or sharing on Instagram Stories each Friday until October 1.
An excellent way to help your students get excited about using ST Math in the new school year is to participate in the ST Math Fall Challenge. The fall challenge begins September 22 and runs through November 30. Here's how to enter:

This just-for-fun poster is available for you to download and print and we recommend printing on 11 x 17 inch paper, though it's also available for 8.5 x 11 inch paper. Don’t want to bother with printing it yourself? Order a printed copy on the JiJi Store. We hope it's the coolest poster in your classroom or home!
We love to see what you and your students are up to this year. Whatever creative idea comes to mind, make sure to let us know on:
