The bee enables students to compete on
computers with each other in real time to test their skills
in math and problem solving. There are 24 layers of difficulty,
often tied to a student's grade level. "It's fun for
the kids and it's great for problem solving and number facts,"
said Emily Bankert, a third-grade teacher at Mote Elementary
in Wilmington. She has a competition available to her third-graders
each night at 7:45 and twice on weekend days. They can log
on from computers at home and compete with other students
or the clock. Bankert regularly receives e-mail reports
detailing who played and how well they performed. …..more
