Math Challenge: a resource collection for teachers

A school-wide competition that turns weekly math practice into a friendly contest between classes. These five guides cover launching it, how points and the leaderboard work, and the certificates at the end.

How to launch it: the admin picks the start week and grade levels and clicks Launch, can run several challenges at once, and gets confirmations plus reminders at the start, midpoint, and end. Available with School and District licenses.

The scoring behind it: points come from the share of active students times the weekly math time, teachers can double their class’s points by signing in, and a live leaderboard ranks classes with Olympic-style ties.

What each side sees: teachers get a Math Challenge section, a leaderboard with a Present button for the board, and certificates at the end, while students keep their usual tasks and just get the extra motivation.

The awards: once a challenge is marked Completed, teachers download a PDF with all participants’ names, in class and individual versions, and admins can recognize teachers too.

Where points come from: the ratio of attending to rostered students times the weekly math time, plus a teacher sign-in bonus that doubles the class’s points once a week.
