This year, we have been using the Sumdog.com website, which uses fun multiplayer games to encourage students to practice their mathematics.

Now, Sumdog has launched a "Summer Mathematics Challenge" to encourage children to keep practicing over the summer.

To complete the challenge, children must correctly answer 100 questions a day for a total of 20 days.  There’s no cost to take part.

As a reward, children are given 2000 bonus “Sumdog Coins” that they can use to customize their Sumdog avatar, in Sumdog’s virtual shop.

It doesn't matter if you're away during part of the summer break, as children can play any days.

Before school ended, I was able to update all Sumdog usernames and passwords to match Reading Counts.  Hopefully that will help everyone log in. 

 The Scholastic Summer Challenge is a free reading program dedicated to stopping the "Summer Slide" and encouraging kids to read more books this summer. Now in its 6^th year, the Summer Challenge invites kids to log the minutes they spend reading as they Read for the World Record. The 20 schools with the most minutes will be featured in the 2013 Scholastic Book of World Records. Kids can participate in weekly challenges, earn digital rewards, enter sweepstakes to win fabulous prizes, and more.
