All events: World Spelling Day, World Maths Day and the first World Science day are now over for 2012. You can see the World Maths Day Hall of Fame on the site. Mathletics users (subscription service) can of course keep playing the games.
For World Maths Day fans looking for some Maths games perhaps try some of the games in this post: World Maths Day Withdrawal Symptoms?
The World Maths Day blog has the latest news you can also follow @WorldEduGames on Twitter or The World Education Games on Facebook. There is also a World Maths Day page on Facebook.
During the World Maths Day event students of all ages play other students in their age category from around the world in live games of mental arithmetic. I have seen many students of all ages thoroughly enjoying this event.
During the event itself students can earn points for up to 50 games, each game lasting one minute. Over 50 games can be played but the points will not be added to their personal score for the event. Teachers can play too! Note that the event lasts as long as it is the event date somewhere in the world; check the FAQ (under ‘Resources’) for start times at various cities round the world. There are also clear guides for students and teachers available under Resources.
Note that if your students enjoy games of this kind Sumdog and Tutpup are free all year round. Manga High is now completely free in several countries including UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, all of Scandinavia and the Indian subcontinent. For other free Number games see this page also this page on games collections; the collections from Math Playground and that from Oswego City School District are particularly good for mental arithmetic. For practise at tables, including against the clock see this collection.
For those interested in practising their spelling in preparation for World Spelling Day there are numerous resources online including games.

its awsome
I was playing worlds maths day for my school and was doing very well (receiving about 40 points in every round) I knew that I had about 416 points before I went on the streak and played for about 5 times getting the 40 points but then when I went to check my score so far it wasn’t added on! I kept on trying it didn’t work! I was playing on level 3 so I decided to go on level 5 to see if it works and it did but only sometimes! How did this happen?!? levels 1 and 2 don’t work either! please help!
Hi Taial – one of my own students said the same thing this morning.
I wonder if you will find that your data is updated later?
Remember that only the points from 10 games at each level will count towards your event score even though you can play as many games as you like.
I do not have any personal connection with World Maths Day – knowing how much students enjoy it I just publicise it here

Tania you will be able to access the World Maths Day site at the moment and during the competition but when the competition is over only people who subscribe to Matheletics will have access. Note the links to Sumdog and Tutpup – these games are free all year round.

Hello Mrs Abeer.
Have you tried contacting them?
Under Resources – there is a FAQ document which has emails for various countries.
They have a Facebook page as well – though when i posted there they suggested contacting customer services. It seems you are not the only one having problems.

Can we register without pre-register ?
Yes, that should be possible from February 1st. Pre-registering has just meant that one gets any reminders. This year for the first time I got an email with the technical requirements which I was able to pass to our network manager.
I looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove maths i do not know what i could do with out it
I’m very pleased to hear that!
I cannot get onto the site. I cannot complete the download.
David registration for 2012 will not open until considerably nearer the date of the event. No downloads are required to play – it is all online.
The site currently has 2011 information, that event is now over.
If you keep an eye on the World Maths Day blog http://blog.worldmathsday.com/ or follow them on Twitter http://twitter.com/#!/WorldEduGames you will get any important updates.
I will also post any news or instructions here.
