Class, Grade, and School Leaderboards

Leaderboards are optional, but can be a great way to keep students motivated and excited to participate in your fundraiser! The leaderboards can also be reset at any point, if you would like to reward weekly winners. Student leaderboards are available on the class, grade, and school level and are based on total reading time or number of math games solved. Class leaderboards are available based on reading time, games solved, or total donations

Students' names are only visible to administrators

Auto-Generated, Online Math Games

In Math-A-Thons, students answer as many math problems as they can over a few weeks. Some schools choose to print handouts for the students to work on at home or in school, but we think Math-A-Thons don't have to be homework and can be fun! With ForOurSchool.org, students solve simple, but grade-appropriate math games online that follow the common core math curriculum and get instant feedback. Students get excited as they watch their number of games solved counter tick upwards and inch closer to their goal.

Many schools choose to hold Math-A-Thons over the summer because by that point, students will have learned all the curriculum and the Math-A-Thon can be a fun and competitive way to review it. This can also help to combat the dreaded "summer slide"!
