East Ayrshire’s Maths Contest is now live on Sumdog. The contest will run from Monday 15th June until Friday 19th June at 12:00pm.
The contest will automatically appear on your child’s dashboard when they log in. They will see their progress as they answer questions – when they get to 70, 175, 350 and 525 correct answers they get rewards. Click ‘start‘ and select a game from the games page. The questions answered in the games will count towards the contest.
Answering questions in a contest
Students can answer questions at any time during the period of the contest, including outside of schools hours. As they answer the questions they’ll be able to see the number of questions they’ve gotten correct out of the number of questions they’ve answered in total.
Every child can answer up to 700 questions. When this number is reached, their answers will stop counting towards the leaderboard but they can continue answering math questions!
Students participating in a Contest can earn a range of prizes.
There are several types of prizes that students and classes can earn.
Coins and special items for the house will appear automatically in the recipient’s inventory.
Certificates can be awarded to the First Place Class, Daily Winning Class and Top 10 Students.
We are encouraging all pupils to take part in this contest. Good Luck!
