We're heading over to the West coast for #MAWAcon2019 in a few weeks! Keen to see what you've got WA, the East coast was strong at #AAMT2019
Download "Math Mate: Manic Math" on your smartphone to get ahead of the game π
The unbeatable Erin McHugh and @draketeach for taking out the first two days (and two refreshments) π final day leaderboard is open now for those who want to come checkout "Kahoot for maths" and have some friendly competition π
Throwing the challenge out to anyone at #AAMTConf19 who rates their mental maths skills... can anyone beat Erin?! It's worth a bottle of the finest ππ· #AAMT #AAMT2019 #whymaths
We had the privilege of hosting Innovation and ex-Education Minister @katejonesqld and Chief Entrepreneur @leanne_kemp in the @UQ_ilab Space with Tommi Sullivan and Pepper for some 'friendly' Manic Math competition π

Last month we did our monthly #MathTech Review on Math Tricks. A neat app for building complex arithmetic skills and strategies. π
We found a few potential flaws in the educational value but suggested some strategies teachers can employ to extract some really good discussion and exploration from it.
EdTech BNE is happening again! Keynoted by the amazing @amywalduck talking about digitising learning from her experience π We've got discounted tickets for teachers who see this tweet as well. Just use the promo code 'MathMate' as you're checking out. See you there!
We'd love to announce the first wonderful teacher who is getting early access to Manic Math... Mrs Kate White from @StRitasCollege Clayfield πππ
We met Kate last week when National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) came and visited, and loved her energy π€π We can't wait to get Manic Math in her hands next week!
PS. If you or a teacher you know wants to get access as well, make sure to head over to manicmath.com π we're still taking expressions of interest until tomorrow morning 10am.

It's been a pleasure hanging out with @NYSFoz students and teachers the past 2 days! First day a hipsters, hackers and hustlers workshop with @bop_industries and GenIn. Second day facilitating discussion with teachers on what gamified maths apps are and how to assess them π
Love a brain workout and @Cshearer41 never fails to deliver π
The weekend just past,
Was an absolute blast!
With Manic Math as the game,
Engaging maths was the aim.
The kids came along with their big kids in tow,
And all from grade 4 to grade 10 had a red hot go.
There was laughter and focus,
Competition and collaboration,
Some productive struggle,
And much hysteric elation.
Such a successful weekend of testing,
We were even surprised to uncover,
The big kids had as much fun,
As their smaller others.
We are excited to announce that Manic Math will be soft-launching January 29 π If you want to know how you can get your school involved, subscribe to our newsletter here and we'll be sending out more details this week: bit.ly/mathmatenewsletter
