Description: Students participating in a Math-A-Thon obtain sponsors and earn prizes by completing "funbooks" of math problems such as hidden messages, puzzles, and pure arithmetic operations.

Open to participation for children in grades K-9 across the United States, Math-A-Thon began in the late 1970s. The website also offers online games such as Number Blaster and puzzles such as Math Squares, E-cards to send, and screensavers to download.
