HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF) -

Mountain Gap Middle School has been using a new technique over the past several weeks to teach their students.

Math students are using a video game titled "DimensionU," it's an electronic-based tool used for learning and competing with students across the nation. It gives them the ability to access 3-D and multi player versions that will help enhance their math skills from home.

The five-week competition is coming to a close this week.

"By winning a week's competition we hope that we beat out the rest of the schools that are participating, and Dimension-U will come to our city to host the national math tournament finals and music fest in the rocket city," Melissa Debacker said, a teacher at Mountain Gap Middle School.

So far, over 900 schools across the country are participating in the competition.
