Maths Day — 15 October

What is Maths Day?

Maths Day is celebrated on October 15! Since its founding in 2007 by 3P Learning, the popularity of World Maths Day has multiplied fast. The day encourages students globally to take a break from standard day to day math lessons. Instead, they can participate in competitive math-themed games, giving them the opportunity to win prizes and scholarships! 

History of Maths Day

Created in 2007 by digital learning resource 3P Learning, World Maths Day encourages students around the world to engage in online competitive games centered around mental math problems. The platform’s games are aimed towards students aged 4-16 with the purpose of improving accuracy and confidence in arithmetic and problem solving. 

In order to participate, teachers can log onto 3P Learning’s site and purchase a subscription, giving them access to not only the program’s math resources but education resources in all subjects. If you’re a parent and wish for your child to participate in the event or want to support their studies at home, feel free to visit the site and purchase your own subscription. 

Unable to afford the subscription rate? No worries, help your child study by taking 30 minutes to an hour out of your day to practice math. Not only is this good for your child’s development, but it helps you keep your brain engaged, healthy, and strong!
