Click the links below for Windows or Mac. Window Mac The nineteen elementary schools involved in the 2008-09 "Math Project" had 38 students who won iPods by being the top scorer in his/her school as determined by a contest at year's end. Students who made 2000/more points earned the Einstein Award and the right to compete in the contest for the iPod. When a student earns the Einstein Award, the teacher can print him/her an official award containing his/her name and score, plus the teacher's and principal's names (under blank lines for their signatures). Earning this award means a student is proficient in the multiplication tables up to 12 x 12; 3,000/more points means s/he is way past 12 x 12. The MathRace program goes up to 25 X 25. The 2008-09 MathProject culminated May 19 with a "Run-Off Contest" in Stigler, OK. Participating schools were invited to enter their students in grades 3-6, who scored 2000/more points in the local school's iPod contest. In this contest, the top scorer of each grade level won an iPod Touch.
