On March 4, HAL students gathered at McKinley Education Center for
World Math Day. Their challenge was to answer as many mental math questions as possible with the ultimate goal of breaking a world record.
At the end of the day, the group had answered over 20,000 questions, and together with students from around the world, had answered 452, 682, 682 questions, smashing the previous record!!
Our top point earner was Andrew! Talk about a walking calculator!
We also had treats and prize drawings. Braden and Hope won
World Math Day t-shirts, and several other students won Wal-Mart gift cards.
Thank you to all of you who participated in World Math Day! You were amazing! I can't wait for next year! Another big thanks to John Lindenberger for
writing about us in the
North Platte Telegraph. And, of course, we can't forget
Mr. Hokanson! What did we ever do without him! He helped us out all day and created our World Math Day video. You are awesome, Neil!
