Simply refreshing. Challenging, but refreshing.

What causes your students’ eyes to bulge out of their heads,
their tongues to stick out, their fingers to wriggle with
anticipation?
Believe it or not, students attack Massive Math like hungry
piranha! Call it pack mentality or what you will, but students love
it when they work it together.
Some of the many uses of Massive Math …

Discounts for schools!
Order Massive Math in 6-packs and save money. We offer a
variety of packages that fit the needs of virtually any class, grade
level, or school.
Challenge your school to take the Massive Math 100,000 Challenge!
Laminated versions available!
High quality laminated versions can be purchased individually or
as a mixed-variety pack. They won’t last forever, but they can be
used multiple times and shared from classroom-to-classroom!
Note: We urge you not to try to laminate a paper edition. Due to their enormous
size, school laminating machines cannot effectively laminate a Massive Math
poster (using the fold over and cut method). We will not replace damaged copies.
Laminated copies are not the best option if you plan on
displaying your posters in the hallway or other public place, so
keep this in mind when deciding between paper and laminated
editions.
A little planning goes a long way!
Before you let your students tackle a Massive Math poster,
establish a game plan by answering the questions below.
Like my daddy always told me, hang proudly.
Don’t let all that hard work go unnoticed. Hang your completed
Massive Math posters in the hallway or cafeteria and let the
world know that your students boldly tackled and defeated the
greatest mathematical monstrosity of all time!
Note: Vis-A-Vis pen ink on laminated copies can be smeared. If you plan to display
your students’ posters in a public place, your best option may be paper.
Challenge your students to solve one at home.
Some students just don’t get enough Massive Math at school. If
you have any students that think they can take on a Massive
Math challenge by themselves, please direct them to this
website. We’ll reward them with a high-quality gold medal for
finishing!
Note: School editions do not come with gold medals.
Imagine you, the principal, challenging your entire school to take
on an incredible mathematical challenge—a challenge they’ll
remember the rest of their lives.
As a school, solve 100,000 math facts in 10 days.
|
Is this possible?
Yes! All you need is 25 Massive Math posters strategically
divided amongst your grade levels.
If you have 500 capable students, and each student works an
average of 20 problems each day for 10 days, then that’s
100,000! 10 x 20 x 500 = 100,000!
We wouldn't tell your students that, but that’s what makes it possible. Of course, if
your school has substantially more or less than 500 students, simply adjust the
number of days in the challenge.
The principals and the teachers decide how to divvy up the work.
Perhaps the first graders will solve the addition posters, second
graders solve the subtraction posters, etc. You decide based on
your students’ abilities at that particular time of the school year.
Depending on the number of classrooms participating, some
classes may have to solve 2 posters (maybe 3 in some cases).
Don’t worry, they’ll love the extra responsibility!
It's an absolutely unique challenge and involves the whole
school. Talk to your principal and colleagues today!

Who gets to work on it and for how long?
Do we work on it in groups or as individuals?
Do we work it left to right/top to bottom or randomly?
