Encourage your students to embrace their inner rockstars with our exciting Mathematics Rockstar Challenge this August! This event is designed to make learning maths fun and engaging, combining the thrill of games and growth, with the power of numbers. Your students will tackle maths problems like never before, boosting their confidence and igniting their passion for learning. Interactive and engaging activities cater to different learning styles, from a times table hot air balloon quest to rescuing mummies with geometry skills.
As students advance through the challenge, they can earn certificates based on points accumulated. Celebrate their achievements with exciting rockstar titles such as "Maths Maestro," "Equation Expert," "Number Ninja," and "Algebra Ace." These certificates not only recognise their hard work but also motivate them to continue excelling in mathematics. Your students will love showcasing their rockstar status and striving for higher levels of maths mastery.
Research shows that game-based learning significantly enhances students' engagement and retention of information. By integrating educational content with interactive games, students are more likely to stay motivated and enjoy the learning process. Mangahigh has harnessed this power by designing games that boost memory formation and help students build independence as they progress at their own pace. All games are meticulously mapped to the curriculum, making it easy for teachers to navigate and integrate into their lesson plans.
Students complete maths activities on Mangahigh, and earn medal points! Every medal earned adds points to individual student's points tally:
Gold medal adds 3 points
Silver medal adds 2 points
Bronze medal adds 1 point
The cumulative power of points earned by your students adds to your overall school's points tally, placing your school on the Maths Rockstars 2024 ANZ Leaderboard.
GAMES + PRODIGI: Games help develop fluency skills through repetition and incremental up-levelling; while Prodigi word problems help students deepen their mathematical understanding and reasoning.
K-10 STUDENTS: Mangahigh activities are aligned to the curriculum of your choice. From counting for junior students, to times table practise, or quadratic factorisation, there are activities to suit the range of learning levels.
POINTS SYSTEM: Students accumulate points between 12th to 22nd August. Every Bronze medal achieved adds 1 point, every Silver medal achieved adds 2 points and every Gold medal achieved adds 3 points.
INDEPENDENT LEARNING: Students can track their own progress and access additional independent activities, recommended based on their learning level.
CERTIFICATE FOR STUDENTS: All students that have earned 25+ points will receive a certificate based on the Maths Rockstar status they have achieved.
ACCESS MANGAHIGH 24/7: We suggest allocating class time during the challenge period to complete activities on Mangahigh. However, students are encouraged to do more work, at home as well.
BRIDGE THOSE GAPS: If there are any areas of weaknesses in your student's maths skills, the Maths Rockstar Challenge is that extra incentive to do more work, while bridging any gaps in their learning.
