Nintendo Assists in Math Promotion

Nintendo is partnering with math education organization Mathcounts by challenging middle school math clubs across the US to boost their membership with the ultimate goal of winning DS systems and copies of Personal Trainer: Math for the handheld.

Between now and March 25, Mathcounts is encouraging math clubs across the country to participate and increase their memberships. The nonprofit organization will randomly select four schools with at least 12 participating students in their Mathcounts Club Programs to each receive 20 DS systems and 20 copies of Personal Trainer: Math (that comes to a total of 80 DS systems and 80 games, for the less mathematically inclined).

“Anything that gets kids more interested in math helps prepare them for whatever careers they eventually choose,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s EVP of sales & marketing. “Personal Trainer: Math is great in a competitive club environment.”
