Sumdog’s West Lothian maths contest has started today, Monday 10th March 2017. Torphichen Primary School has entered Sumdog competitions in the past and the last one we entered we came 2nd!
Sumdog uses educational games to motivate children in numeracy and maths. When students master skills, Sumdog rewards them: their virtual pets learn tricks. Each correct answer earns a virtual coin, which can be spent in Sumdog’s on-screen store.
We have organised for each class to have 30 minute a day Sumdog sessions between Monday and Thursday. The challenge is to answer 1000 questions per child before Thursday. We would encourage that during this week the children also logon at home.
Below outlines the potential prizes that could be won for taking part in local and national contests:
- Overall winner: Sumdog Mathematics and Certificate of Achievement
- Daily Winner: Printable Certificate of Achievement
- Top 10 Student: Printable Certificate of Achievement
- Participation Reward: an item for the child’s Sumdog house
