There are many ways to enjoy those dots, but this is our only means to count participation. Our numbers are very likely well over 7.5 million students and teachers. Wild!

We have a special, free guide especially designed for and tested with upper-elementary and middle-school students. Use the guide or follow the YouTube Playlist.

Global Math Week

How do you say the number 175487 in your language?

We're asked people to teach us how they say the big number 175 487 in their local language.

You can still write to us or video us saying the number. Be sure to tell us what language are you speaking, and, please translate word-for-word into English what you are saying. Most people don't think about the individual words themselves and they are often surprising.

Watch the video for details and to see how surprising it can be!
