World Maths Day 2025
This year, St Francis students will be competing with over 10 million students from over 150 countries in the World Maths Day challenge! On the 26th of March, students will compete in twenty 60-second live challenges where they will earn one point for each correct answer. Points accrued will help place St Francis in the World Maths Day Hall of Fame.
Students have started the warm up period in Maths classes to maximise their speed and potential for this exciting event. Students are encouraged to keep playing at home to accrue points and practise their mental computation. All students have been provided with usernames to log in anywhere, any time. This even will help improve students’ mental maths fluency while putting St Francis mathematicians on the world map!
