Third Grade Explorations in Learning
World Education Games 2013
Today we started practicing for the World Education Games, which will officially take place March 5-7.

Every year students from all over the world compete in friendly, 60 second competitions of math, spelling, and science. It is a great way to get faster at math, spelling, and keyboarding – and it is a lot of fun!
Competing against students near and far

When we played today we played against students from as far away as Nigeria and Hungary, but we also played against some of our friends right in the classroom!

Victory!

It will be fun to have practice games, and the real thing on March 6, 7, and 8 will be very exciting. Last year 5.9 million students from over 235 countries combined to correctly answer 293,571,830 math questions! Wow! How many will we answer this year?

Since part of the fun is seeing what country you will be playing against, we will keep track of the countries we have played against in the comments.

Dear Mr. Salsich,
What I like about world education games is that you can play with other people around the world. I mostly played USA or Canada, but I wish I could play somebody different.

Dear Mr. Salsich,
I think that World Education Games is really fun so far! It’s a good idea because we get to learn math and learn about countries that we didn’t know about, too. It is exciting to compete against a classmate because we got to see who will win.

Dear Mr. Salsich,
I have played against many countries but the most I’ve played against is the United Kingdom. I have also played against Greece, Spain, Germany, Canada and New Zealand. I’ve also played against people right in our class. Have you ever played world education games?

Dear class,
What I like about world education games is I like to try to compete against my friends. I also like it because it is fun to try out and that is what learning is all about. I love world education games!

Dear Mr. Salsich,
I am enjoying “world education games” because I think it’s cool to play different people in different countries and different schools. On Valentines’ Day I played against two people from Egypt. And world education games really help us with math.
