How to Play Live Mathletics
Choose your level. You can play the computer or choose Find Me a Game to play against other Mathletes.
Place the cursor over the the level tabs to see what type of questions you could be asked.
Try to choose the right level for you – look out for Bonus Points! You could earn double points if you challenge yourself!
Your goal is to improve your ranking. Your ranking is based on your recent average.
There are five different rankings to achieve: Raging Rookie, Junior Giant, Speed Demon, Almost Einstein and Human Calculator.
After you have picked your level, Mathletics will find other Mathletes for you to compete against (unless you have selected the Computer). It is possible that you might get to play the computer if there is not a good match with another Mathlete available.
The game engine selects games based on competing Mathlete’s recent averages, so the race is as fair as possible.
One game lasts 60 seconds and you have to answer as many questions correctly as you can.
You are racing against the clock, your recent average and the other Mathletes. The other Mathletes you play against will have the same ranking as you.
Be careful! 3 mistakes and you’ll strike out! If you Strike Out it will change your average and you may go down a level in your ranking.
Keep an eye out for the red line – this represents your Personal Best score.If you can beat this – you earn bonus credits for your Mathlete!
How Do Students Earn Certificates? 
20 consistent weeks of work = 1 Gold Certificate
Certificates are granted when a student earns 1000 points or more within one week. This encourages students to complete a healthy amount of work each week and rewards students for every week they practice. Students initially earn a Bronze Certificate, then a Silver Certificate once five Bronzes have been earned. With four Silver Certificates, a student then receives the much-coveted Gold Certificate, demonstrating their long-term commitment and developing ability.
