Mangahigh:
Mangahigh is an on-line games based math site that is designed to provide instruction and practice of math skills in a fun and engaging manner.  The educational content within Mangahigh is based on the core standards. Each game covers certain learning topics and is designed to dynamically adapt in difficulty to the ability of the student.

One of the aspects of Mangahigh are occasional "fai-to" competitions that our school participates in.  "Fai-to" is a Japanese word for 'battle'.  SATEC recently competed in a fai-to that ended Saturday against Midwest Academy in Carmel, Indiana.  The first school to win five 24-hour rounds wins the entire battle and gets any trophies the other school has possession of.   Each round has a "Hero"--the student that earned the most medals during that round.   

SATEC easily defeated Midwest Academy winning the first 5 rounds.  Four of the five round heros were from 7th grade. Congrats to SATEC students who earned 440 medals during the 5 days and "upgraded" their math skills along the way!

In addition, SATEC has moved into 13th place overall in the North American Math Challenge (we started last week in 53rd place).
