Students are given 1 hour to complete as many of the 100 problems that they can. Teachers are able to split the time if they choose so students aren't doing math for an hour.
We give every student a treat of some kind (candy, suckers, popsicles)and the student who raises the most in donations is given the grand prize, something math related. We gave a our winner the Math Shark but there are many options related to math depending on the age of your winner.
If you would like more information, I would be glad to send you samples of the letters and additional information to get started via email.<hr></blockquote>

Last year, our school held a Spell - a - thon and raised 30 some thousand for a playground addition. Each grade level had 20 different spelling words (k- had a Friend - a thon to name kids in their classes) Parents and grandparents loved the idea
JaMo I loved the idea of the math-a-thon but need so more info
Did you have winners in each grade level? Overall winner? Did you give prizes? Was it a timed event?
Are did they work until they were finished?
Thanks momof2
