They will join together with more than 2 million students from over 200 countries in the annual quest to set a world record in answering over 450 million maths questions — a fun way to improve mental arithmetic skills.

This year features an exciting new format with multi-levels for all age groups.

Teachers, parents and media are invited to participate for the first time. Menzieshill have registered learners at the World Maths Day website throughout February, and then signed in to begin practicing their online problem-solving right away.

The actual World Maths Day contest takes place on March 3.
