Math is Sum Fun

DimensionU.com is offering an online mathematics game for students grades 3-8.  From November 15, 2010 through May 1, 2011 students may sign up and compete for over 1,000 prizes including scholarships for the national champions.  Finalists and prize winners are announced every two weeks and participation is free.

This is an opportunity for additional mathematics practice in a motivating medium that may encourage mathematics outside of the school day.  A flyer is attached and more details  can be found on the O.C. Department of Education Connectivity Resource Center at:
http://instructionalservices.ocde.us/Connectivity_Resource_Center.htm  and at the DimensionU website

While this is a highly competitive national event, each student can benefit in improved math skills through gaming competition.
