YIS students are excelling in World Maths Day!

Every year the World Maths Day site (http:www.worldmathsday.com) allows students to register at their age level and complete math computations in a timed competition against kids from schools all over the world. So far, 200 YIS students in grades KG through six have answered a whopping 408,087 questions correctly!

This week Ms. Abbinini's third grade students achieved a great feat at World Maths Day by being number five in the whole world at their age level. One of the third graders, Vinayak Thampi, was even number one in the whole world of competitors aged 5-8 years old! The activity culminates on March 3, 2010, when all registered students will hold a day-long world-wide math competition. Good luck to the YIS third graders, Vinayak, and all our school competitors on March 3rd!

Yanbu International School was in the number five spot.
