About New Jersey High School Math Meltdown

The New Jersey High School Math Meltdown is an exclusive, virtual event for High School students (grades 9-12) in New Jersey. This virtual event will take place from October 4–7 when students will log into DimensionU with their free account and play our multiplayer math video games called Meltdown and TowerStorm. Students can participate any time during the day or evening—this does not need to be a class event. We'll track the highest points earned and the top 3 point earning students will win!

All content played during this competition is aligned to NJSLS curriculum, so you can be sure students are sharpening their math skills while having fun. Content will vary daily from Number & Operations, Algebra, Geometry, and Data Analysis & Probability.
