Taylor Students Participate in World Math Day

The World Math Day challenge involves students from all over the world playing against each other in real-time battles of mental arithmetic using the Live Mathletics and VmathLive PLAY game engine.

On March 5th, more than three-quarters of a million students participated in World Math Day and set a new world record for the most math questions answered in a day. By participating in the competition to answer the most math questions correctly, students from more than 100 countries answered a total of 182,455,169 questions, quickly eclipsing this year's 50 million question goal and shattering last year's record of 38,904,275.
