What's the project?
For the past few weeks over 1000 learners from more than 40 school groups from across the Western Cape have been competing in the OLICO Maths times-table challenge, funded by the Innovation Fund. Between them they have already submitted over 500 000 correct answer attempts and have been gearing up for the final on 1 June 2018 at UWC. Learners will compete against each other to determine the top times-tablers in each grade.
Peter Wächtler, OLICO’s Western Cape Coordinator explained: “Each week, learners were challenged to master a new times-table by practicing both in the classroom and on OLICO’s free online maths tool (learn.olico.org)."
