Prizes are awarded in three categories: Top Students, Top Classes, and Top Schools.
Top Student prizes are awarded based on the number of points accumulated by individual students.
Top Class prizes are awarded based on the total number of points accumulated by the students enrolled in one class.
Top School prizes are awarded based on the average number of points accumulated by the participating students in the school.
Example:
School A has 200 participating students who accumulated 250,000 points.
250,000 / 200 = 1,250 average points per participating student
School B has 1,000 participating students who accumulated 750,000 points.
750,000/1,000 = 750 average points per participating student.
School A would be awarded the Top School prize.
Points System for the Back to School Challenge
Students may choose to accumulate points by answering as many problems as they can in either the PLAY or PRACTICE sections of VmathLive.
PLAY VmathLive points - Students compete in one minute, real-time competitions of speed and accuracy with other students around the world. One point is awarded for each correct answer.
PRACTICE VmathLive points - Each PRACTICE activity includes ten problems or questions. Each correct answer is worth ten points. Students must complete all ten problems in the activity before any points are awarded.
FACT: 99.2% of students who complete a PRACTICE activity at least three times will achieve mastery (85%).
